Most options we are presented growing up involved either getting a job and working tirelessly to retire safely, or work tirelessly building a business working 80 hours a week.
The four hour work week suggests that both of the options above involve deferring happiness and enjoyment until we get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – either we sell our company for millions of dollars or we retire with millions of dollars in savings.
Instead, the book presents option C - lifestyle design, where one can aim for excitement and profit throughout their whole lives, having the freedom and options to live like a millionaire even without a million dollars in the bank.
In other words, this book is about optimizing your life and work to get the most out of it.
Let's read it together in October! 😀
