 Creating the Life You Want to Live August 26, 2008

This is an amazing book where I rediscovered the fact that life is short and not doing what you love is a waste of precious time. That being said not all jobs are rewarding or satisfying, but the energy and your self expression you bring to that job makes all the difference in the world. The ideas presented in this book are definitely not your traditional ones around the work place. Here Tim Ferris presents a whole new reality of what the work place can and has become for many people. One of discovering ways to work less hours, make more money and spent more time in activities outside of your workplace you like to do, ie traveling. You could say it's all about how you spend your time...quality vs quantity.
In reading Tim's book I was reminded of 2 brilliant authors named Ariel and Shya Kane who also present a non traditional approach to achieving and maintaining enlightenment without the previously conceived approach or need for years of working on yourself. Where you live life with a centeredness and ease no matter what life circumstances arise. The Kane's book titles include "Working on Yourself Doesnt Work: A Book about Instantaneous Transformation," "Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment" and "How to Create a Magical Relationship." I highly recommend all these books. Life is way too short to not be living it as your heart desires.

I really liked several things about this book, not least that Tim Ferris didn't make it all sound easy, but rather, showed us why it is important to find a way to be financially free. Driven, successful people often find it hard to just lie on a beach, and how would you just take off on your own if you have always had people around you.....it sort of put me off a bit - which could have been sabotaging my long term success! I've always struggled with the idea of what to do when I no longer have to stay in the UK, when the kids are grown up, but can travel the world drawing a passive income from my business.....well, thanks to Tim, now I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to have "purposeful holidays". I'm going to go and live for 3-6 months at a time in an area I've always liked the sound of, rent apartements rather than live in hotels, and learn how to do things, speak languages, help people. How cool is that thought? I highly recommend this book which complements the other wealth creation biggies like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Think & Grow Rich", "One Minute Millionaire" etc. My only tiny niggle with the book was that Tim didn't go into too much detail about his path and challenges creating his own internet business and passive income, that would have been really interesting, but could form the basis for his next book perhaps?

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend. I try to read these types of self help books periodically to give me another perspective on the corporate life I am currently living and this book certainly did that.
This book pulls together a number of different concepts (goals, being an entrepreneur and finding the right balance between work and pleasure) and argues that you don't have to wait until you have made stacks of cash to enjoy the life of the rich.
Amazing, Inpirational, OH MY GOD YES! August 6, 2008

Ok, the title I gave this review is a wee bit exaggerated, but this book actually has changed the way I work, both in my job and at home.
Some of the key take-aways from this book:
- If you dislike your job so much that you can only look forward to retirement, you are in the wrong job
- Find ways to automate as many tasks as possible. Outsource, outsource, outsource.
- Stop doing the things that don't add value. Look for the 20% that makes an actual difference.
There's an entire section aimed at budding entrepreuneurs that I skipped over quickly as I have no intetion of starting my own business. But if you're looking for ways to cut out the waste in your life and find time for yourself, then this might be the book for you.
