Tim Ferriss has mentioned coming up with the title as something flashy to make for more sales. Even he says it's not about a literal 4-hour week of work. The thrust of the book is about how to break things down into systems, and figure out how to make your work (and life in general) more efficient. You do this by deconstructing things, and figuring out what pieces you can do more easily to get bigger gains. I'd highly recommend listening to his podcast, as it's almost like the gift that keeps on giving. I say this because of the people that he interviews, and the questions he asks. He helps figure out what successful people do, that makes them successful. I'm talking him up, but it's only because there have been a few things that I've gotten between the book and a couple of the podcast interviews that have been very helpful in my personal life.
