I grew up thinking: go to school, get a good 9-5, make a lot of money. I no longer think that is the life for me. It may work for other people but I love my freedom of time. Time for me is like money. I don’t cook or want to know how to cook. Why cook when you can go to a restaurant? Yes, it may cost more to go to a restaurant financially, but time-wise for me it’s too expensive to cook at home. You have to shop for the food, prepare the food, cook the food, clean the dishes… it’s just all too much. Plus, I don’t like to cook. Wherever I can save time doing something I don’t like, but have to do… I outsource. I had an economics teacher in college that said he made well over $100 an hour so it wasn’t cost efficient for him to go grocery shopping. He outsourced his grocery shopping to an assistant that worked for $10-$15 an hour. It makes sense right? This book teaches you how to outsource your life and make more time for the stuff you love and really live life on your own terms. This book has been life changing for me because I am aligned with the message. It’s so me. I don’t waste time doing stuff I don’t want to do. I just don’t and if I absolutely have to, it’s only a temporary step on the way to more freedom of time.
If you’re happy with working a 9-5, this book is not for you. If you’re content working for other people, this book might not be for you. If you want to escape the rat race, make your own rules and be able to do more with the time you have, read this book.
You know what’s funny. In the book, Ferriss says that we read to much. I get his reasons for saying that, but I’m still on my personal challenge to read 1 book per week this year. On to the next one.
I’ve been reading 
for the last couple of weeks and I love it! It’s definitely in the top 10 books (maybe top 5) life changing books I’ve read in 2011 and perhaps my whole life. You can buy it for as little as a penny on Amazon, so there is no excuse not to read it.
If you’re jealous of wealthy people, read this book. If you think it’s ostentatious for people to drive $300,000 cars and you judge them, read this book. If you want money, don’t have it and don’t think you have any negative beliefs about money — I implore you to think again.
by Brad Klontz and Ted Klontz will radically change your consciousness about your relationship with money. Once you know your condition, then you can change it. The bottom line is if you want money and don’t have then, according to Eker and the Kontz’s, you have some sort of dysfunctional with money. 
by Michael J. Losier. I read the entire book while sitting under the hair dryer. I was first interested in the book after hearing Losier on a radio show and found out he’d been on Oprah and done some other interesting things.
Earlier today, I read a tweet that Deepak Chopra sent to Tyrese. Also, Deepak’s #Follow Friday included @Tyrese. I thought that was odd. Then, I got home and I was watching Wendy WIlliams only because I saw that Tyrese would be on. Normally, I wouldn’t care, but because of the tweet I saw from Deepak earlier, I thought it would be interesting to check out. Tyrese was on Wendy talking about his new book: 
. During the interview he seemed very evolved… maybe. I don’t know how many times he used the word “energy”, but he seemed very in tune with his spirituality. Anyway, I thought he was going to say something really profound until it seemed like Wendy was putting words in his mouth and kept cutting him off. Needless to say, I became very intrigued by his book. I was surprised to see the rankings on Amazon. It’s #2 on Amazon’s Self Help/Motivational books, right after Steven Covey and above the famed gurus like David Allen, Joseph Murphy and Napoleon Hill in this category.
by James Goi Jr. is one of the books in my rotation. I started reading it last month and actually finished reading it in one sitting. It only took an hour or two. It is the kind of book that you use with a journal and read every day. It’s an amazing book. I strongly believe that the only thing keeping us from our goals is our negative belief system. This book helps you really dig deep into why your money situation isn’t the way you want it to be. What I love about this book is that you can apply it to all areas of your life and really get a grasp on how you think about those areas of your life. Once you discover your core negative beliefs, you can really begin the work of evolving. I was surprised to know how much the money we have (or don’t have) now is connected to self-image, our upbringing, fear, thinking of how others will perceive us and more. It’s only 101 short pages and I have a feeling that if we really practice the lessons and apply them to every area of our lives, we will come to many life changing realizations. I love books that are like workbooks that you have to use in conjunction with a journal, I have about 3 different journals for 2011 and they are all about half full. This book is well worth the $7 that you’ll have to shell out for it, but that’s a bargain to have a money/life coach right at your fingertips.
This week I read The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship by Don Miguel Ruiz. If you are a highly evolved person seeking other highly evolved people in your life, this is a great book for you.
