The New Book Unveiled: The 4-Hour Body (4HB)

Data crunching back to age 18. Three years of organizing self-experiments around the world. Thousands of blood tests and hundreds of case studies.

My new book is finally here: The 4-Hour Body.

I could not be happier with the end product. Truly, I am ecstatic.

If you want a minimalist guide to hacking the human body, this is it.

In each chapter (more than 50 topics total), I test everything on myself so you don’t have to. In “Reversing ‘Permanent’ Injuries,” for example, I tested the moderate options like over-the-counter supplementation and Feldenkrais, but I also imported stem-cell growth factors from Israel and had them injected. That was just for starters. The end result of that chapter? 90%+ of the injuries that plagued me for decades are now gone. I’m stronger and faster than I was at age 20.

If you want to know the two safe things out of 100 that worked abnormally well, I can tell you…

The 4-Hour Body is also designed to read unlike any diet or fitness book, which it isn’t. It’s more like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book for the human body, full of ridiculous stories, practical philosophies, and larger-than-life characters.

Here’s the back cover description:

THINNER, BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER… which 150 pages will you read?

Is it possible to:

Reach your genetic potential in 6 months?

Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours?

Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing?

Indeed, and much more. This is not just another diet and fitness book.

The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, fixated on one life-changing question:

For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?

Thousands of tests later, this book contains the answers for both men and women.

From the gym to the bedroom, it’s all here, and it all works.

YOU WILL LEARN (in less than 30 minutes each):

– How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails.

– How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends)

– How to increase fat-loss 300% using temperature manipulation

– How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time

– How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested

– How to produce 15-minute female orgasms

– How to triple testosterone and double sperm count

– How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks

– How to reverse permanent injuries

– How to add 150+ pounds to your lifts in 6 months

– How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 50 topics covered, all with real-world experiments, many including more than 200 test subjects.

You don’t need better genetics or more discipline. You need immediate results that compel you to continue.

That’s exactly what The 4-Hour Body delivers.

Now The Real Fun Begins

Here we go:

1) The ask

2) Big media opportunities for you

3) An offer to friends in media.

THE ASK:

I try not to ask for too much on this blog, but today I will ask a favor: if this book sounds interesting to you, please take a moment to order it today. I’ve never worked harder on something, it’s my sophomore act, and pre-orders are critically important in the publishing world.

The book is on-sale now but will ship on December 14th. Here’s why you should pre-order now:

– You will not be charged for the book(s) until they ship in December, but ordering (really like reserving) a copy now really, really helps me.

– What would make a better X-mas gift? My dad lost more than 70 pounds using two chapters. Please consider getting a few copies for your family, loved ones, or best friends. I promise that they will not be disappointed. Ordering now means you can’t forget.

– Last but not least, your help would mean the world to me. Pre-orders will largely determine how much support retailers give this book. It’s crazy, but only hardcover sales count towards the bestseller lists. If you’ve benefited from my last book or writing on this blog, I would really appreciate your help. This has been the biggest project of my life.

The 4-Hour Body is available on Amazon, BN.com, and these online retailers.

Thank you!

BIG MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES:

Have you lost weight, gained muscle, or otherwise changed your body as a result of blog posts I’ve written? If so, you could be featured on major TV and in big mainstream media. Please e-mail your details and (important, if you have them) pictures to jenny.rabun-at-gmail-dot-com. No professional before-and-after pics needed, but something that shows your before and after appearance, even in normal clothes, is helpful to producers.

Ladies — that means you, too! Help a brother out, and help your sisters out, by sharing your stories!

TO MEDIA, BLOGGERS, AND LIST OWNERS:

I’ve made very few media commitments thus far. Do you have a column, show, mailing list, or blog audience? Would you like to do a feature, an interview, or post an excerpt? Please click here to let me know. There is a ton of material, including case studies, video, and pictures.

Upward and Onward

Thank you all so much for the last three years. It’s been incredible.

The best is yet to come 🙂

Hey Tim,

I’ve been waiting for this book ever since you first mentioned it. I just ordered 5 copies and can’t wait to implement your findings into my life. I’m 43, I have ridiculously high LDL cholesterol, low HDL and very elevated triglycerides.

Is cholesterol addressed in the book? Also, do you have any ideas for your NEXT book?

Thanks,

Billy

Tim,

Congrats on the book release. One question. When I spoke with you at SXSW, we talked a bit about sleep, and how I’d love to sleep less but can’t function well. It was after your Art of Speed talk, and Mike Cassidy mentioned he slept only 4 hours (I think) per night. Your experience was the same as mine, and you said that unfortunately you needed a lot of sleep as well.

Did you discover something new since then or is the 2 hour sleep thing more of a short-term approach that doesn’t work for longer stretches?

I was planning to tackle your book and Art de Vany’s upcoming book on the evolutionary diet as part of my goal to understand personal health better. What’s your take on de Vany’s approach?

Roman

Hi Roman,

Art is very, very smart. I’m eager to read it as well. He and I have similar approaches in many respects. I just don’t emphasize power laws as much. As for sleep, I have learned a lot since that panel. My preference is still long stretches of sleep per night, but I’ve learned to do some cool stuff that can be extended long-term.

I just ordered my copy! I was glad to still catch the “Hard Cover – Signed Edition” this morning, so I’m looking forward to a good read. I gave away two copies of 4HWW, but I’m keeping the 4HB signed edition all to myself, until I find my next worthy cause!

Over the course of last year and a half I went from 155 to 170, but I can’t see where it went (other than a small-doesnt-look-like-15lbs-went-there-bulge in my gut). I’m guessing it was the transition out of my 20’s and into the 30’s! Maybe this will change my workouts, limit my gym visits, get back my 6pack, and more importantly, I can spend more time with the kiddo’s (both under 4) and wife. BTW, do you cover material that is kid friendly?

the 4 hour work week completely rocked my world, changed my paradigm about life in totality, and gave me the knowledge i needed to apply on the spot.

I’m an avid reader, and this book CHANGED MY LIFE! Thank you

I enjoy your ability to spell out and explain not in theory, but specifics. you are thorough my friend, and I know you can deliver.

you betcha I will be grabbing a hot copy of this book. I appreciate what you do,

I wish you great success, I know it will do well!

Hi Tim,

You did EXACTLY what I have been wanting to do myself! I’m greatly looking forward to reading the book.

I bought seven. I bought two immediately after reading the part of the post saying to buy one, and if you buy two, you get free shipping.

Then I read further, and read about the deal for five. So I went back and bought five more.

Now I have no idea if the Q & A will truly be helpful, but since I can probably sell the books for more than I pay, and ESPECIALLY since I’ve bought many copies of your first book and given them away, I’m beginning to think seven is not enough.

If you would ever like to make a body optimization case study out of a 43 year old entrepreneur mother of five who lost 20 pounds in about six weeks following stuff on your blog and a couple of other tweaks of my own, let me know. I have the resources to pay for necessities and track progress. I guess I would only need consultation to speed up what I will learn out of your book.

I will be looking to see if there are any radical transformations of 40+ year old women with multiple children :-).

My case study would be a great way to expand your market a bit — you could syndicate it to the mommy blog world :-).

I hope you reach all your goals for the book.

Blessings!

Hi Tim, I am so excited about your new book. I loved your 4HWW. I read it over 4 or 5 times and took notes in it. It helped me to create an online product for the profession that I am in. I have a passion for learning about the human body. I ordered 2 of your books. I just hope I ordered them quick enough to get a signed copy, even if I didn’t it will still be great. Thanks so much for all you do. I am inspired by how much you accomplish and enjoy following you. Thanks!

I witnessed your smarts, diligence and kindness towards others at several Quantified Self meetups in the S.F. area and have benefitted from tips in your blog so – for the first time ever – I am following up on a blog-related book offer.

I just ordered two copies of your book and look forward to posting a review of them on B & N and on Amazon and via my LinkedIn book list

It does sound like you have really worked on getting this book right. Thank you

Pablo N.

Well, I’m in!

To tell you the truth, I don’t really believe what you promise in the cover. I’m not even really so interested. I guess there are many ‘if’s and conditions in order for them be real. And even if there is some magic pill that can turn me into a superman in no time, there are probably strings attached than only a long term study would reveal. So I would think twice before swallow it myself.

But, I really like the way you approach life and life experiments. I have extracted many interesting ideas (and they have triggered others 🙂 from your first book (which I didn’t really buy) and your blog. Almost every post contains a relevant/interesting concept and initiate some personal research or discover an area to explore. (Hard to find elsewhere)

And I’m sure this book will not be different. Even if the promises sound outrageous and I will not take the magic pill myself, I’m sure that there is a lot of interesting stuff inside that deserves to be read and which I will partially extrapolate for personal use.

So even with the int’l shipping rates, I owe you this one 😉

Good luck!

Thank you Tim, I know that I am personally responsible for over 50 sales of 4HWW in Columbus Ohio this past year and I am SO looking forward to pimping your new book to my clients who could use it too.

I am sure your launch will far exceed your expectations – you deserve it!

– did you test “going raw” for any time?

also different ppl’s bodies are different – so maybe we could have specific place in a forum where people can report how it works for them, inc. posting when they started, and then follow up results.

what’s yr next book? multiple orgasms for 4 hours? “the 4 hour orgasm” ?

Hey Tim,

I urge you to please make your suggestions a bit more scientific, by creating a forum for people testing this. It would be very easy for you to ‘crowdsource’ the experiments, by having people post daily/weekly what they experimented with. On aggregate test what works (minus the occasional prankster). That way you can minimize (but not eliminate) before and after frauds. It’s a quick website to set up (iphone app even), and if it works, you will have invaluable medical research. Remember whom you heard this from. I want my 5%! 🙂

It inspired me to start a Non Profit Organization that has ONE mission to care for it’s members’ needs, which will include salary, housing, transportation, health care, food, and new compassionate friends. We can do all of this online, global, and with a simple t-shirt. And, we will raise funds internally by using this simple company t-shirt that’s on the website. Also, i have you on the company YouTube Video in a sage-like pose….you’ll love it. Namaste, and i will meet you one day. Peter, Kim, and Sage Moon (New Orleans,LA)

Hey Tim,

Looks awesome!

I’m from the UK, so just a couple of questions.

When this becomes available in the UK, will it be the same version as whats available here?

It’s just a comment above refers to there being a different title and lower page count. Will there be a load of content missing?!

Secondly, again that comment said about it being released in the UK in February 2011… that’s a fair way off… if I order now, when can I expect to receive it? December?

Thanks a lot Tim and I hope this is even more of a success than the last book.

Tim; Just to let you know I was glad to order the 5 books but the page for the call in is not working. I am in the middle east and perhaps there is some internet foul up but it might be your sign in page.

I also left a heartfelt and enthusiastic review.

I hope I get one of the autographed copies but the call in seemed cool.

Best of luck

You are being watched! (I needed to grab your attention of course.)

At least 1500 people will gauge my progress!: I was just interviewed for a blog that will monitor my progress each week on my 31 day quest to lose 20 lbs. I have taken each tidbit from the book on the subject and I want to make sure that my daily regimen is congruent with what you recommended so I can fairly test your regimen in the book and so my feedback does not unfairly hold you up against an inaccurate light.

How do I get my 1 page daily regimen schedule to you for a 30 second at most review?

Let’s make tons of new believers together Tim. Have an amazing day!

I just pre-ordered from Amazon.com

I hope there are good tips on how to maximize exercising in a small, indoor space. I have some weights, a sit-up bench, and a treadmill in my garage and I love working out there while watching sports on TV. However, those three pieces of equipment don’t give me a ton of results for the time invested.

Looking forward to the book.

Hi Tim,

I have two receipts for a total of 5 copies. On your Wufoo page, I can only submit one screen shot at a time so I submit my info twice, one for each receipt. Do you think that’s going to be a problem?

Tim,

Ordered my five copies as well. I’ve probably given out a few dozen copies of 4HWW over the years to friends, family and even employees. Hope the new book helps even more people live their lives to the fullest and brings you even more success!

Got my book. This book is a MUST. Tim less then 1 year after reading your last book, I took a month vacation (in Argentina). So I respect you and look forward to this book and learning how to be more fit (much needed).

Cheers

Lies…all lies.

Any man who knows how to give a woman a 15-minute long orgasm would be happily married to a woman who rarely, if ever let him put his clothes back on and leave the house.

Pre-ordered, really looking forward to reading this. Also looking forward to getting rid of that god%$#@ last tiny bit of fat that has been covering my abs for the last 10 years.

I’ll consider doing some before-and-after pictures using your techniques, but I don’t think I want to be on TV. My looks might draw people in, but my voice might make them change the channel.

You should come to Alaska one of these days. I’ll buy you a beer. Maybe two.

Did I just become one of your 1000 True Fans?

Congrats Tim! Pre-ordered…

Your first book changed my life, I am changing lives of other people by recommending your book worldwide….even in Bulgaria…The book was published in Bulgarian but not a great translation and not a great marketing either (unfortunately)….Word of mouth is doing better..

Good luck in your adventures!

Hey Tim!

I LOVES “The Four-Hour Work Week” and have been looking forward to this book for quite some time. I am totally stoked! I am still a poor college student but if I can work it into the budget I will totally buy one. Thanks for all of your help.

Ordered, but when will be an Spanish version? BTW the shipping costs overseas are almost equal as the book price 🙁

Tim, have you thought about the possibility to offer signed versions of the book in different languages (Spanish, Japanese, etc…) I’m a Spanish blogger, and I will be glad to feature this book in my blog…

Looking forward to unveil the secrets inside…

Hi Tim,

Yes it was a debit from my account – €20.44 to be exact with shipping (I’m in the Slovak Republic) It’s fine though, just wanted to make sure that other customers didn’t have the same expectation. p.s. congratulations on getting another book out.

Impressive. 408 potential buyers in 24 h. I will not buy it. I did learn enough with the 4HWW (excellent achievement by the way: parsimonious and insightful, and has an excellent data base). On the other hand, 15 min. orgasms!! Who wants that?

Something is lacking in the transfer of your lifestyle design. Not everybody has you IQ, emotional intelligence, attitude and enthusiasm. You tell great stories but this does not empower people.

On the other other hand, Tim, why are you added Google Ads to your page? It is not your style.

Hi Tim!

I used to train at AKA, got fixed by Dr. Janzen due to your article which saved my life and body, and saw you at BiztechDay twice. I just ordered 5 copies, and I can’t wait to read it.

I really appreciate the great advice on writing you gave me last time. It’s helped tremendously. I had wanted to ask you about my nerve problem, but was too embarrassed or ashamed to talk about it.

But, I realized that if anyone would know the answer, or know the people who could help, it would be you. I had axillery nerve damage in my deltoids 4 years ago, which lead to complete lost of my shoulder muscle and other dysfunctions in the body. I almost became a cripple due to this complications involved with nerve damage.

I saw over 50 doctors at this point, but no one has really been able to help. I tried to get my hands on HGH or stem cell, but they said there was no way for me to get access. If you know anything at all that could help with regrowing nerves/muscle, I would not be able to thank you enough!

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your comment and kind words. I am not a doctor, so I have to make that clear, but I will send you an email separately.

Hi Tim

Just ordered 5 signed copies – even though the shipping to Europe is expensive and takes forever.

Will keep one book for myself, and give the other four books away. That should spread some Christmas joy …

Hope you will do an audiobook version also. 4HWW has been on my Nokia N900 for ages, and I have listened to it several times already.
