It is not outsourcing that is unethical but to advertise it like a magical way of working less.

The title of the book makes it sound like you can accomplish more by working less, while in fact the remaining 36 hours worth of work is done by someone else every week.

Think of it that way: How would someone from one of the developing countries the book mentions would benefit from what's written in that book?

Easy. He would see that there is a business opportunity for him to sell outsourcing services to a developed country, which he would not have thought so before.

Fair enough, but that's an unintentional side effect. He can't do that by working 4 hours a day, at least not by following the recommendations in that book.
