PREFACE TO THE
EXPANDED AND
UPDATED EDITION
The 4-Hour Workweek was turned down by 26 out
of 27 publishers.
After it was sold, the president of one potential
marketing partner, a large bookseller, e-mailed me
historical bestseller statistics to make it clear—this
wouldn’t be a mainstream success.
So I did all I knew how to do. Iwrote it with two of my
closest friends in mind, speaking directly to them and
their problems—problems I long had—and I focused
on the unusual options that had worked for me around
the world.
I certainly tried to set conditions for making a
sleeper hit possible, but I knew it wasn’t likely. I hoped
for the best and planned for the worst.
May 2, 2007, I receive a call on my cell phone from
my editor.
“Tim, you hit the list.”
It was just past 5 P.M. in New York City, and I was
exhausted. The book had launched five days before,
and I had just finished a series of more than twenty
radio interviews in succession, beginning at 6 A.M. that
morning. I never planned a book tour, preferring
instead to “batch” radio satellite tours into 48 hours.
“Heather, I love you, but please don’t $#%* with me.”
“No, you really hit the list. Congratulations, Mr. New
York Times bestselling author!”
I leaned against the wall and slid down until I was
sitting on the floor. I closed my eyes, smiled, and took
a deep breath. Things were about to change.
Everything was about to change.

The 4-Hour Workweek has now been sold into 35
languages. It’s been on the bestseller lists for more
than two years, and every month brings a new story
and a new discovery.
From the Economist to the cover of the New York.
