Whether you’re looking to put systems into place that give you more freedom and flexibility in your business or would like to take a year to travel the world, this book is brimming with resources and ideas to help you do just that. If you’re going to add one more book to your must-read list for 2010, this is it.

Author Tim Ferris is my hero for three simple reasons:

1. He has learned the art of delegating almost everything that is work-related and generously shares how he does it in this book and on his blog.
2. He believes that life is meant to be lived richly before retirement. In fact, why retire if you are doing things that you really love in the first place?
3. He doesn’t sweat the small stuff. Mistakes are going to happen (especially when you are outsourcing) and he just rolls with it.

To Tim, it’s all a learning experience and another life adventure. When bad stuff happens, you learn from it and just course correct. If you’re looking to design a lifestyle on your own terms, then this book is an absolute must-read.
