this is like many books in the catagory it isn't really about implementing everything Tim suggests but rather using the concepts he presents as a way to challange your thinking a bit. If you're looking for this book to tell you step by step how to work only 4 hours a week and be successful its not it. If you are looking to change your view on how you work, where you can work and how you can be more productive I think this does a fantastic job. I have implemented some of his time saving ideas and they have been tremendously helpful and it is a constant work in progress to increase my effeciency. I also think the way we think about work - 40 hours a week for a corporation, in an office - is changing with technology and the demise of Corp america and I think this book captures some of those ideas at a time when we are in the midst of transition.
