Craftsmanship-The Alternative to the Four Hour Work Week Mindset


  1. 5

    Great post!

    Funny, I saw the 4 hour work week from a different angle when I read it. To me, it was all about finding and focusing on the highest leverage activities you can and tuning out the rest. I didn't see his strategy as opposing craftsmanship but in some ways supporting it.

    Are you a fan of Cal Newport? He really preaches the craftsmanship mindset and I think you'd enjoy his book Deep Work (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692)

    Anyway, thanks for the good read.

      This article is 100% derivative of Deep Work. It's one of the most important books I've read.

      Also, most people seem to be missing that Tim Ferriss had a successful business making ~40k/month as his start point. His experience was about how to optimize from there.
