Ferriss is an entrepreneur, public speaker, and self-proclaimed vagabond who was named one of the Most Innovative Business People by Fast Company in 2007 and Greatest Self-Promoter of All Time by Wired magazine in 2008. He focused on neuroscience and East Asian studies at Princeton and now lectures there on high-tech entrepreneurship. In his best-selling book, Ferriss makes the case for abandoning outdated assumptions about life and work and describes how to become more efficient so that one works less while still enjoying a life of luxury. His recipe for reinvention requires the ability to practice the 80/20 rule to make effective use of time, the knowledge to use technology to generate income while you are sleeping or otherwise enjoying life, and the self-confidence to manage people and resources remotely. The title alone will surely capture any reader's attention, but the life/work balance philosophy and prescription will appeal to the fast-growing Latino entrepreneur community. The information about developing and managing an online business is useful, practical, and much needed by a Latino audience that often does not have access to innovative business approaches. Includes many useful web sites and resources; highly recommended for all public, academic, and special business libraries, as well as bookstores.-Yolanda J.
