Actually, Tim Ferris wrote a book called "The 4-Hour Workweek" with the goal of more people achieving the title. It is more oriented at breaking free of normal work habits than a scientific study of optimal productivity though.

The pills and books he sells to achieve his 4-hour work week make me suspicious of the methodology. Only so many can sell shovels to the gold miners before the market is saturated.

Something tells me Tim Ferris works a lot more than 4 hours a week himself.

I recall half of that book was about outsourcing your work.

It’s only a 4-hour workweek for you. There’s still someone doing the work.
