The fresh ideas in The 4 hour workweek were few and far between. Barbara Sher was talking about lifestyle design since the '80's in her book Wishcraft – only she called it "life design." Richard Koch's books on the 80/20 principle precede and are far better than 4HWW. Your Money or Your Life was another book that was far more practical "how to" rather than 4HWW kind of inspirational.
