The 4-Day Work Week - A Book That Could Change Your Life?

Jan. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- Okay. Let's face the facts; The 4-Hour Workweek plan laid out by Timothy Ferriss, in his ground breaking book, is unattainable for most people.

But the brand new book The 4 Day Work Week, by Donna Stevenson (available through Amazon), offers us a much more practical approach.

After all most of us has tacked a day onto the weekend because of a short trip, family celebration, or sick day. Making it a strategy for taking back your life, improving your health, starting (or re-starting) a home business makes perfect sense.

- The magic of outsourcing
- Creating new standards
- Getting healthy again
- More time to enjoy life

The History of the 4 Day Work Week
The concept, introduced by American labor union leader Walter Reuther in the 1950’s, is not a new proposition. He then rallied for flexible hours – 40 hours spread across 4 days, or approximately 10 hours a day.

Some 20 years later, Riva Poor, an American management consultant campaigned for the 4 day work week in her book “4 Days, 40 Hours.” It caused a stir at that time, but only a few companies picked up the system.

Donna's book changes our perspective about how to maximize the three day weekend. She advocates three 18 hour days and shows how instituting them can radically transform your life.

There is so much good stuff in this book that I hate to spoil it. But if you have been thinking that your life could do with a change maybe you should take a look.
