How You Can Apply The Four-Hour Work Week Principles It’s not about sacrificing your life towards the idea of retirement, it’s about kicking back with a margarita on a beach every damn day of your life. This is something that has been idealised by digital nomads, a subculture of workers which has been characterised by mobility, financial freedom and time control. It aims to show you how you can start living your life in a “lifestyle-led way” rather than a “career-led” way. The book itself is basically a handy little bible filled with tips and tricks on how to unlearn the usual five-day work week to earn income on the go and live pretty much anywhere you want. What Is The Four-Hour Work Week?īasically written out of frustration from his corporate days of work, Tim Ferris (like a new-age Dumbledore casting spells over work as we know it) decided to document how he took himself out of the nine-to-five slog and geared his income towards fostering a lifestyle he wanted filled with a whole heap of travel. So why all this new-found attention on author Tim Ferriss concept of the four-hour working week? And how can you actually make it a reality for you? Lucky for you, we took it upon our goodwill to read The Four-Hour Work Week to let you know what it’s all about. Since COVID-19 hit, ideas around what a four-day work week could look like have been passed around like a packet of gum around the office and from here, flexible working hours, career blueprints and even our cliche ideas of the “digital nomad” have evolved even further. The four-hour work week is by no means a new idea, in fact, there’s a book itself, aptly named The Four-Hour Work Week, which actually dropped on bookshelves around the world in 2007.
