Depends on what you're after. If you like the 4 hour work week and want to change your lifestyle then I'd read inspiration for the four hour work week; vagabonding by Ralf Potts and more recently the obstacle is the way by Ryan Holiday. At the end of this month I'll be heading off on a round the world trip with no return ticket starting in india. I have the four hour work week to thank for that, I changed my job to one where I was able to work remote, started my own product gocaller.co.uk whether it's going to bring income to support long term travel will be interesting to see, nevertheless it's a fun ride. I feel more confident now that I can go back to doing what im doing now I love software development and the interesting people I've had the pleasure of working with
- hoodwink 10y agoI was similarly impacted by both books -- Four Hour Work Week led me to Vagabonding which is much better. If you haven't already, you should read the inspiration for Vagabonding: Walden by Thoreau.
- mikejames16 10y agoNeat thank you for sharing. Out of interest what's the biggest thing you've changed after reading these books?
- hoodwink 10y agoQuit my "prestigious" but hollow job of 10 years. Sold 90% of my possessions. Let go of my loft apartment. Dramatically cut back my lifestyle. I'm much freer (and happier) as a result. Thoreau calls it Economy. I like to say that I broke out of captivity and am now an outdoor cat.
