It is now available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, and should be in stores within a couple weeks.   Posted by David Traversi on August 16, 2007 Permalink | Comments(0) | Books   The 4-Hour Workweek A young fellow by the name of Tim Ferriss and I share a fantastic literary and media agent, Steve Hanselman of LevelFive Media (www.l5m.net). Tim recently published the runaway bestseller, The 4-Hour Workweek (www.fourhourworkweek.com). Steve introduced Tim to me a few weeks ago and Tim shared a number of his book promotion ideas with me. I just read his book and recommend it highly for a few reasons. First, it’s highly readable and fun. Second, he really captures the spirit of a great number of twenty-somethings who are not interested in the mainstream career paths of our and prior generations. They want to enjoy life as it unfolds in the present moment. They don’t see much value in busting their asses and working crazy long hours just to save money so they have a stash set aside when they retire. In fact, and I love this because I totally agree, they don’t really understand the whole concept of retirement. I love the energy and passion with which he communicates this, and we as leaders would be foolish to not listen closely and try to understand how it affects us and our organizations. Third, he offers great practical tips, with resources provided, for simplifying both our personal and professional lives. Finally, he has some great ideas for building successful product-based businesses with minimal effort. I don’t know that we can all create four-hour workweeks out of this book, but I know we would all be better off in some way or ways for having read this book and applying some of his ideas.   Posted by David Traversi on June 7, 2007 Permalink | Comments(1) | Books            Inquire about booking David M.
