Timothy Ferris and his secrets to be successful. Review of books by Timothy Ferris "How to work ..." and "How to lose weight ..."

Along with fiction and journalism, books are published that are called upon to help. This includes various methods of weight loss, psychological techniques of restoring mental strength, advice of people held in business. One of these writers, speakers and successful investors, is Timothy Ferris, which will be discussed next.

Work to live. And not vice versa

Timothy was born in 1977. Before his 30th birthday, he had worked on several large American companies, during which he decided that there was nothing better than his own business. But to open it is a small matter, where it is more important to stay afloat, especially in conditions of strong competition. Yes, and what would it be possible to do, because, it seems, to come up with something really new and worthwhile, today is almost impossible?

In the book "How to work ..." published in 2007, Timothy Ferris presents effective, in his opinion, advice. The main problem that people face is the irrational use of working and personal time. How to effectively and most competently manage your own time?

Scold yourself a team

Ferris claims that it's enough to work four hours a week, so that the result is noticeable. It is not necessary to sit in the office "from a call to a call." Delegation of everyday tasks remains a key moment for a person, which can not be achieved by everyone. In his best-selling book "How to work ..." Timothy Ferris advises to avoid information overload, developing a personal "lifestyle." A person who wants to reach a high level should not be neglected by the labor of hired workers. For what? Ferris says that they can not only save your time, but also reduce the amount of work done. As an example, he suggests working with developing countries, such as India, by hiring their residents as virtual assistants.

Trust but check

The success of the book "How to work ..." was so huge that many people simply did not believe it. Unfortunately, in our time there is enough deception associated with network marketing and financial pyramids, that people no longer trust such simple and effective advice. Nevertheless, the leaders of many brand companies evaluated the technique of work described in the book. In a short time, the publication sold millions of copies, and the new "productivity guru" was unanimously recognized by Timothy Ferris himself.

Reviews about the book did not take long. It is worth saying that in Russia the work was published in 2010 in the publishing house "Kind Book". Those who read it, noted a strong impact on consciousness, during which it was necessary to rethink many things in life. Written in simple and accessible language, the book tells about the need (it is necessary!) To throw away the luggage of unnecessary problems, which we often drag behind ourselves. Despite the large volume, the work includes a lot of important information. For such a book it is not a shame to give money! It really helps, and therefore should be in every home library.

Talent, personal qualities and a little more

Many readers who left feedback on the book said that Timothy Ferris is trying to convey a simple thing that seems, at first glance, impossible: work can be given much less time, while it will not be considered unfulfilled. All that is required is to distribute the load correctly. After all, in addition to the main activities, the things that people seek to overpower in the first place (work duties, housework), I want to travel more, make evening walks around the city, read and watch films. How to combine the incompatible?

The book "How to work ..." surprisingly helps to create for each such rules, according to which the result will be seen much faster, while the work processes themselves do not fall heavily on their shoulders. Those who got acquainted with the work and followed the advice that Timothy Ferris outlined, admit: now they organize personal life, actively combining work, study, hobbies and recreation.

The principles that guided Ferris, and his personal experience, may not be suitable for everyone. Here it is worth drawing a line between the mentality and the continents. Certainly, some tips will be useful, they can be safely taken on board. Live a full life, not focusing on the need for work. Saturate everyday with pleasant moments, spend more time hobbies, develop talents and do not be afraid to take on something new.

In a healthy body healthy mind

In 2013, the publishing house "Good Book" published another work, which is proud of Timothy Ferris, - "How to lose weight ...". Diet and a set of exercises, which he considers in his new hit, repeating the success of the previous best seller, are designed not only for women, but for all those who want to maintain a healthy body. The system by which he himself dropped ten extra pounds includes several basic rules:

• Do not abuse cleaned carbohydrates. They are contained in bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, cereals. If you engage in physical activity, completely discard these products.
• Monotonous food is more useful. If you wanted something "new", remember that the body takes time to accept it. Much faster it will process what is used most often. This rule is suitable regardless of whether a person is losing weight or gaining muscle mass.
• Try to include in the daily diet products of one of the groups: legumes, vegetables, proteins.
• Replace calories with low-calorie drinks, give preference to water.
• Once a week, arrange a day off, which is traditionally called "unloading" day. This will allow the body to take a break, as well as rework the "remains" of yesterday.
