Author Tim Ferriss announced today on his blog that his next book is coming out soon and it will be called "The 4 Hour Chef". His first book shows you how to establish a carefully constructed business that can be run on only 4 hours of your time per week. Ferriss' next book "The Four Hour Body" shows you how to achieve and maintain optimal health in only 4 hours per month. If I extrapolate based on the existing pattern this book will show you how to cook in only 4 hours per year!!! I don't know about this... I know my Dad and many other people who don't even cook 4 hours per year yet consider themselves chefs. I have personally been trying to spend more time in the kitchen, not less. I am trying to do more stuff from scratch and relying less on restaurants and prepared foods. That being said, I have read and enjoyed Tim Ferriss' other two books and will be sure to check out the new one as his books always have great tips that I can put to use right away. On reflection, the model of this blog is somewhat similar to Tim Ferriss' approach of providing a wide range of useful ideas. Much like TED Talks. I should also note that I first discovered the author through his excellent TED Talk - How to Feel like the Incredible Hulk.
As far as the new book, I will provide an update after it comes out, but until then have a look at it on Amazon or at the author's website. I'd be curious in the comments what you thought the 4 hours means - 4 hours a day, week, month or year? I would love if I only worked 4 hours a week to spend 4 hours a day working out and 4 hours a day cooking and gardening... One can dream.
As a special bonus if you promote the book you could win an Amazon Fire tablet - details on the author's website.
