The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss (Hardcover)

The book that launched a generation of online businesses and remote workers. Ferriss challenges the work-until-65 script and lays out how to cut the busywork, automate income and design the life you actually want now.

Read it if: you want out of the 9-to-5 grind and need a practical escape plan.

Second Shelf — a steady read. A week or two of evenings.
