The 4-hour Workweek Full Chapter Brief

Are you constantly immersed in your work, fantasizing about your eventual retirement? It's time to reconsider this "deferred-life plan". The best outcome of this plan is that you turn into a bald fat man sitting in a red BMW. This book is giving you a different option. By adopting the "mini retirements" approach of the new rich, you will be able to start exploring your dream job and life.

Overview | Chapter 1

Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich. This book will challenge your view of how you live your life, especially when it comes to your retirement plan. Please join us on this journey towards a new way of work and life.

Think about this question first: Do you look forward to living the good life after retirement? What is it like? Maybe you have planned on playing games all day, are keen to pack your bag and travel the world, or maybe write a memoir of your own. No matter what your answer is, you should think again about this kind of deferred-life plan, that is, the idea of spending most of your prime years working and saving money, then spending the money during your retirement.

This type of thinking is very common. But this book believes that the reality of your retirement life may not be as good as you expected, and it’s often too late to regain what you have lost. The best outcome for this plan is that you turn into a bald fat guy sitting in a red BMW. This book offers a new way of thinking: like the new rich, you can break down your twenty years of retirement into mini retirement episodes and insert them throughout your whole life span. In doing this, you can begin to enjoy your life and work for many years to come. 

Who is the new rich and what is mini retirement? We will talk more about them in the next chapter. Here, we'd like to state that an aspirational lifestyle is not beyond imagination, just the opposite. It is within our reach and can be attained by shifting your mindset and following the guidelines in this book. You can become a member of the “new rich” and turn your dreams into a reality. 

Next, we will explain the main ideas of the book 4-hour Workweek in three parts:

Part One: How does the new rich work and live?

Part Two: How to live like a new rich without quitting your job?

Part Three: How to build an income autopilot?
