What Can You Learn from the 4-Hour Workweek?

The "deferred life plan" is one of the items I enjoyed thinking about in the book as well.

Also, I think people get really hung up on the title of "The Four Hour Work Week." Tim has explained before that he chose that title after running AdSense tests to see which possible titles people were interested in. The original title was "Selling Drugs for Fun and Profit" (a phrase he actually uses early in the book) because he ran a nutritional supplement company. I think the story is a retailer balked at the title, so he ran his test, and picked the winner.

Anyway, people seem to get hung up on that aspect of the book, but it's really about much more than that.
