The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
Unabridged
By
Timothy Ferriss
Narrated by
Ray Porter


Don't know how long it will last. I just downloaded it
after installing the audible download manager (required,
as far as I can tell.)

Very popular book. New York Times Business Best Seller for 2+ years.
Hope some of you will benefit.

Hey...thanks for the link...

Thanks! Four hours sounds about right to me. The site is owned by Amazon ... I wonder if that means it uses the same audio book program ... I've seen other free titles on the Amazon site from time to time. TYOP!

Thanks, OP! The unabridged version of FREE: The Future of a Radical Price is also free.

Is their file format proprietary? Does anyone know how to get it in mp3 format?

I canceled my account, will downloading this reinstate my account?

Must be doing something wrong, it just downloaded a .pl file (1k) then nothing.

Wow, if we all get four-hour work weeks, just imagine how much more time we can spend hunting for bargains on fatwallet!!!

Thanks Op, it will give me something to listen to on those long business trips.

Thanks a ton to you ... as well as the OP. It would be nice to keep this thread going by keep adding free audible books.

Looks like you got to install the audible download mgr software, then click on download from your library page and opent that .pl file with download mgr.

Thanks OP!

Thanks! Looks like old account is still valid to login with, good thing is credit card is expired. I was then able to download to audible software to burn or listen to.

There actually quite a few more books - also in the business section (counted ~12). Just go to 'Advanced Search' and pick in the selection screen in the price categorie 'Free'. Seems like there are quite a few free audiobooks. Can't judge though how good they are. A lot of them also seems to be teasers (excerpts).

Thanks for the tip!

Seems you need to load Audible Manager onto the PC & listening device first. Set up is VERY user friendly. The book itself is large and while I could only install the Audible Manager directly on my Smartphone, the book fit onto the Smartphone's accompanying memory SD card.

Now it becomes a question of finding time to listen to this 8+ hour free audio book.

Thanks OP!
This is indeed a great book. I have been meaning to read this book since a long time. I love the fact this is an audio book; I could listen this on the road.

BTW, anyone interested in reading some reviews on this book, here is the Link!

Thanks OP & GREEN for you. I just DL the Audible Mgr Sfwe & then DL the e-book in MP3 format. Will give it a listen later on.

WTF!
"We are not authorized to sell this item to your geographic location" I am in Michigan. Could it be because the lions suck

You can blame anything on the lions. It's okay. I'm from Kzoo.

Maybe they figure a 4-hour workweek a downgrade. Everybody's unemployed.

I think they're just conceding that anybody from Michigan should give up hope of even finding four hours worth of work in your state.

Ok, using Firefox, I installed the download manager. I then choose the option to just OPEN the file [instead of save] using the Audible Download Manager, that's how I got it to work.

you don't need their software if you have itunes and all i had to do to create an account was give a username and password
posted: Nov. 10, 2009 @ 5:52p

Thanks OP. I DL it OK & it plays with the Audible sfwe. I DL it as an MP3 but I wonder if it will play with other devices? e.g. Sansa Clip & Fuse ; Windows Media Player? ; as a straight MP3 ?
posted: Nov. 10, 2009 @ 6:17p

I had to resurrect an old account for this. On a mac, all I had to do was to open the file and it was supposed to automatically open in iTunes (as long as the version is >7.5). Still downloading...

I believe you answered your own question Although one might think you'd be listening during the games...

It is in a proprietary format.

A couple of ways to get it in MP3 format, both of them involve burning it to one or more audio CDs directly from the Audible Manager. The first method involves really burning it to a CD, to save money you could use a CD-RW, which would allow you to reuse the CD many times. Figure about 75 minutes/CD to find out how many CDs you need. You can also use a virtual CD-RW drive, which would save you the effort of burning it to a physical disk, one free such program is http://www.dvdnextcopyiturns.com/DVDneXtCOPY_iTurns_FREE.html (make sure you get the free version).
