Published in 2007, translated into 36 languages and having sold nearly two million copies, Tim Ferriss\u2019s book \u00abThe 4-Hour Work Week\u00bb is a true best-seller that won people over with its ability to offer an answer to the dilemma between making money and having free time.<\/span><\/p>\n

From memory, it is the first book dealing with productivity, and by extension personal development, that I have read. It is also quite interesting to note that in Western culture, becoming more productive (or \u00abbetter\u00bb at being productive) is a means of self-development. Tim Ferriss's approach is unique in that it seeks to make \u00abproductivity\u00bb and \u00abfreedom\u00bb go hand in hand. The book's subtitle is moreover explicit: \u00abWork Less, Earn More and Live Better!\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond this title, sensationalist to some, revolutionary to others, the author Tim Ferris offers a genuine reflection on how we can rethink our work. For me, it was an eye-opener, because after reading it, for the first time I questioned the way I work. Not all tasks have the same value; some require attention, others can be delegated, and there is even a category of entirely useless tasks, such as answering certain emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
