I have always had an interest in metaphysics, much before things like The Secret and the likes came out. It is an interesting topic, and folks have varying degrees of understanding of the matter. I have been listening lately to the audio of The Four Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris, a quite interesting guy. If you haven’t read the book, it is pretty radical, or maybe not depending on your vision.
Lately, it seems much of our focus, conversation and daily thinking surrounds the economy, and for good reason, it is hard to escape the devastating blows that it continues to pound us with. I have always believed that there are opportunities in every situation, assuming you are AWARE enough to See It. Which begs the question, Do You Need to See It to Believe It, OR Do You Need to Believe It to See It?
Here are some takeaways from the book after the jump. I am interested to here your thoughts on manifesting if you are so inclined to comment. Most of all, enjoy your Sunday!
From the Four Hour Work Week Web Site;
Whether you’re an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, The 4-Hour Workweek is the compass for a new and revolutionary world.
Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan—there is no need to wait and every reason not to. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, high-end world travel, monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, this book is the blueprint.
You can have it all—really.
Tim Ferriss, popular guest lecturer in entrepreneurship at Princeton University, teaches you:
* How to outsource your life and do whatever you want for a year, only to return to a bank account 50% larger than before you left
* How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
* How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of little-known European economists
* How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
* How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”
* What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2-4 weeks
* How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
* Management secrets of Remote Control CEOs
* The crucial difference between absolute and relative income
