The 4-Hour Workweek
by Alex Ng
What if you could work just four hours per week while earning more money and having more freedom than traditional full-time workers? Tim Ferriss’ ‘The 4-Hour Workweek’ challenges conventional assumptions about work, retirement, and success by presenting a blueprint for ‘lifestyle design’—the art of creating a life and career around your personal goals rather than societal expectations. Published in 2007, this book became a cultural phenomenon, inspiring the digital nomad movement and changing how millions think about work-life balance. Ferriss, an entrepreneur who built and sold multiple businesses, shares his personal journey from overworked startup founder to location-independent lifestyle designer. The book introduces the concept of the ‘New Rich’ (NR)—people who abandon traditional career paths to create maximum freedom and mobility through technology, outsourcing, and systematic elimination of unnecessary work.
