A few months back I made a post on the best Internet marketing books on all time. This was based on a survey over at the Warriors forum. I also listed what I thought were the best books.

One of the books suggested over and over was The 4 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss.  I have heard of the book, but never read it. So based on the suggestion, I headed over to Amazon and bought myself a copy.

Luckily this book had an audio version on CD. I like listening to such things in my car so I know this was the version for me.

The audio book came in a set of 7 CD’s. In no time I loaded them and started to listen to them.  I have now listened to them two times and I must say I am impressed, however I also have my criticisms.

My main criticism is that the book goes all over the map and while it does cover Internet marketing, that’s not really the main topic. It’s really about obtaining a life style change. A complete lifestyle change.

Timothy Ferriss is quite the remarkable person having spent time in many countries enjoying a lifestyle many can hardly even dream of.

The book covers how Timothy was able to create his business and outsource nearly all the tasks.  The section on outsourcing alone is a god enough reason to go buy the book. He gives good advice for choosing what types of things to sell and how to negotiate with your vendors. Highly recommended are information products, which I am sure comes as no surprise.

A good portion of the book is about how to start travelling and see the world. Places to go, how to spend your days and how to handle living like the “New Rich” as he coins the term.

Although I don’t really think of this as one of the best Internet marketing books of all times, it has made an immense impact on meand how I now look at things. To say I high;y recommend this book is an understatement.

The resources on all sorts of topics from outsourcing and tools to make your business and life easier to travel-related resources alone make this a must-have.

Head over to Amazon and get The 4-Hour Workweek now.

Will you act during the economic downturn, or simply REACT?

Don’t let fear of the recession guide your goal setting
plans for 2009. This is a BIG mistake…!

Fear is an emotional response, only good for short-term
survival.

When you’re in “fight or flight” mode, you’re not thinking
clearly about the path you’re running… You’re just RUNNING!

So your efforts lack strategy, planning, and insight.

I want you to do more than just survive 2009.

Internet shopping is predicted to hit $145.1 Billion in
the coming year, a significant 14% increase — despite the
recession!

Consumers will be spending more time at home, using their
computers for everything from bargain hunting and product
research to upgrading skills.

Studies show this shift is ALREADY well underway…!

I don’t want the Big “R” to stop you from pursuing exciting
personal, financial, and business goals in 2009, so I’ve
arranged to get you exclusive VIP access to an important
video that Internet marketing legend Derek Gehl just put up
on his site.

Derek’s been successfully selling on the Internet for over
a decade now, and he’s brought in over $100 MILLION in sales…

… so he’s by far the BEST person to advise you about how
to thrive in ANY market.

When you watch his FREE Goal Setting Video, you’ll discover
how you can make 2009 your richest year yet:

Year’s goals with a bang.
