The 4-Hour Workweek is a bestselling book by Timothy Ferriss, first published in 2007. It has become a cornerstone of the "lifestyle design" movement, advocating for ways to escape the traditional 9-to-5 work schedule and create more freedom in life by leveraging technology, outsourcing, and automation. The book provides strategies for entrepreneurs and individuals who want to work less while achieving more, focusing on living a more intentional, fulfilling life.
The 4-Hour Workweek changed the way many people think about work and life balance. Ferriss introduced a mindset shift, encouraging readers to rethink their assumptions about how to work, earn money, and design a life that truly fulfills them. Its influence is seen in the growing trend of digital nomadism, remote work, and the rise of online entrepreneurship.
