"The 4 hour workweek" by Tim Ferriss - I know a lot of folks on the forums have read this, or are in the middle of reading this fine piece of literature.

Bonus points if you can find a semi-work from home job or a job with less hours (assuming you're salaried and your work week is more of a 60-hour ordeal than a 40-hour).

Long term I would suggest "The Richest man in Babylon," How Win Friends and Influence People," "The Art of War," "The 4-Hour Work Week" and almost anything by Napoleon Hill.

I believe that if one takes a trip and over 50% of the time during the work week is used for business, the whole trip can be written off.

@Ben LeybovichI think you need to read the Four Hour Work Week again (et hem @Brandon Turner )... 

I'm finishing up The 4-hour Work Week, so this question was perfect timing for me.

Basically I wanted to know what books and quotes had had the greatest effect on his life to this point and here was his response on 10/8/12:“Alright, Andy, here you go.BooksThe Greatest Salesman in the World by Og MandidoI've read this one twice and it deeply impacted my thinking about success and the basic principles of success; takes 10 months to read as instructedThe 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John MaxwellI've read this one at least 3 or 4 times; phenomenal leadership teacher; I've read probably a dozen of his books Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiDeeply influenced my ideas about money, investments, and business; I've read 4 or 5 of his books and highly recommend playing his Cash Flow Game to beginning investorsThe Richest Man in Babylon by George ClasonA huge influence on my ideas about money managementThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen CoveyPhenomenal book about success in lifeThe Four Hour Work Week by Tim FerrisThis book is insane; a book about the balance of what wealth and lifestyle really means; this is a paradigm changerThe Millionaire Mind by Thomas StanleyExcellent research based book on what a millionaire really looks like; about consumerism and money managementHow To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieFoundational book about people skillsThe E-Myth by Michael GerberAn excellent book about business systemsSkill With People by Les GiblinA very short and very practical book about people skillsThe Traveler's Gift by Andy AndrewsA great fiction book about success principlesThink and Grow Rich by Napoleon HillFoundational book about wealth mentalityA couple of biographies that I remember off the top of my head:Sam Walton, Made in America by Sam WaltonTrump, The Art of the Deal by Donald TrumpAnd some biographies that I don't remember the title but their general stories had profound effects on my thinking: Andrew Carnegie, Martin Luther King Jr, Teddy Roosevelt, and Mohandas Gandhi.Quotes - I've referenced ones that I've come back to over and over throughout my life."

We all know that though most people are on a 40 hour work week, you really do not put in 40 hours, look at how many hours you really put it.

Make time, your 80hr work week can occasionally suffer a reduction of a few hours once a year.

We came here to not work 70 hour work weeks and have more freedom with our time.
