      Travailler moins pour gagner plus est à la portée de tous. C'est en substance ce qu'affirme Timothy Ferris, entrepreneur et professeur invité à l'université de Princeton. Pour cela, il faut changer radicalement de mode de vie et abandonner nos vieux schémas de fonctionnement. L'auteur démontre qu'il est possible d'optimiser notre temps de travail en éliminant les tâches inutiles et en privilégiant l'efficacité à la performance. En outre, pratiquer l'ignorance sélective, gérer ses tâches par lots, recourir à l'assistanat à distance et limiter les interruptions sont autant de formules qui nous rapprochent de notre quête d'un nouvel 'art de vivre' et nous permettent de 'créer un véhicule automatisé qui génère de la trésorerie sans consommer de temps'. Cette seconde édition est enrichie de contenus inédits en matière de nouvelles technologies et de success stories provenant de témoignages de lecteurs. Les stratégies présentées par l'auteur sont ultra-efficaces et facilement applicables, même si certaines peuvent parfois paraître peu orthodoxes (comme c'est le cas dans le chapitre consacré aux techniques controversées utilisées par l'auteur lors d'un championnat de boxe chinoise). getAbstract recommande ce guide pratique d'un nouvel art de vivre à tous ceux et celles qui en ont assez de 'vivre parmi les morts-vivants' et qui souhaitent, eux aussi, rejoindre la communauté des 'Nouveaux Bienheureux'

    • What do you do? Tim Ferriss often struggles to answer this question, offering various adventurous responses depending on the moment. He has dedicated over five years to uncovering the secrets of the New Rich, a growing subculture that has rejected the "deferred-life plan" in favor of mastering time and mobility to enjoy luxurious lifestyles now. This guide serves as a compass for anyone feeling overworked or trapped in their business. Ferriss shares insights on outsourcing your life to virtual assistants, enabling you to pursue your passions. He reveals how blue-chip escape artists travel the world while maintaining their jobs, and how to cut your workload by 50% in just 48 hours using principles from a forgotten Italian economist. Discover how to swap a long career for short bursts of work and frequent "mini-retirements." Learn the difference between absolute and relative income, and how to train your boss to prioritize performance over presence—or leave a toxic job behind. Ferriss also explains how to create automated cash-flow "muses" in just weeks, cultivate selective ignorance, and adopt the management strategies of Remote Control CEOs. With tips on securing free housing and discounted airfare, he shows how to fill the void left by work and create a meaningful life. You can truly have it all.

      The 4-hour Body
    • Timothy Ferris, profesor emérito de la Universidad de California y maestro indiscutible de la literatura de divulgación científica, nos cuenta en La aventura del universo la apasionante historia de cómo el hombre ha ido descubriendo el escenario cósmico en que habita, desde Aristóteles hasta las más modernas visiones del origen y el fin del universo. El mérito de este libro no reside tan sólo en hacer comprensibles unas teorías científicas complejas, sino en haber acertado a explicar esta «historia» con una extraordinaria amenidad y haber conseguido infundirle calor humano, al mostrarnos a los investigadores como hombres enfrentados a un reto: a Kepler, esforzándose por definir la órbita de Marte; a Galileo que sigue especulando sobre el universo mientras permanece encerrado por la Inquisición; al joven Edward Tryon, exponiendo, entre las risas de sus colegas, unas hipótesis que conducirían al desarrollo de la teoría de la inflación del universo.
