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 🙂

Great marketing we can observe here. Publication world is facing a challenge especially in the digital world.

Take note when Tim said book was sold on ebay for 4 figures. That is a social proof.

Then, he gave a deadline of 5 books ordering by Thursday and there is only 3000 signed books. That is a scarcity.

Read a book by Robert Cialdini on science of persuasion. It is a fantastic book.

Purchase a book few hours ago and I decide to buy other one 5 minutes ago.

So excited, about this! As a teacher your first book has helped me in so many ways by bringing new adventures to the classroom. I especially love using the Cheshire Cat Quote, referenced in your book, to inspire and motivate my students:

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” [asked Alice]

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where –” said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

In addition, strategies from your book, and your many kind supporters, have helped put over $1800 in supplies and technology in my classroom through DonorsChoose.org. I am a huge fan of your work, can’t wait to read this book, and am glad that I can support your educational efforts, like you have supported mine.

Best Wishes!

Don’t know if this has been said, too many comments. I will read reguardless because your my favorite author. Honestly, don’t like the title, but can respect that it will sell well. Sounds like a great book other than that. Honestly I think you have the status to make a title better than that. But can’t argue I guess you are the best selling author, and not me…

If I didnt know your work and saw it on a shelf I’d never pick it up but I guess in selling to the masses it is the title that works.

In either case, looking forward to the book congrats on your second book! lets hope it can cause a buzz like the last …

OI just ordered the book. Like other internationals, the shipping was a bit much. However, even when the costs are added up, it’s still less than I’d expect to pay in an Australian bookstore.

Since it’s relevant to MMA people, when I get it, I’ll put a review on my site.

If it’s as good as the first book, it’ll be a great review

Hey Tim,

I am awake in the middle of the night with cold symptoms, perusing your blog to find out how to contact your assistant, since I didn’t see a response from you regarding how to send you proof for the Q&A since I can’t get a screenshot.

Do you happen to address in the book any little known hacks for getting over colds quickly, or better yet, avoiding getting them at all? Small children in the home make typical strategies basically useless :-).

That would be worth the price of the seven books I bought, all by itself, if I don’t end up getting the Q & A!

Nice to see you have lots for women in there, per your comments, since there are some differences.

Looking forward to the “crowd tracking” of results we will all be doing following your book.

I see in your last post above mine that you posted the email address for Amy. I’ll forward the purchase emails to her, and that will probably take care of it.

I hope you reached your goal by midnight!

Hey Tim… Congrats man.

More on ‘completing’ the writing process, than anything else…

I’m just putting the finishing touches to my new book as we speak; ended up getting a ghost-writer in to put the finishing touches on it… it ‘grind/resistance’ began to beat me – so I understand wholeheartedly when you talk about “not being a writer”

I’m 8 days away from the marathon I mentioned in the ‘Cold Remedy’ video. It’s been an interesting journey training for the race – I’ve tried to learn a lot about my body during the process; so the new book really intrigues me.

3hr 17m is the goal – wish me luck 😉

If a way I can help promote/market the book on any level, crosses your mind, shoot me an email and I’d be happy to help.

Small issue. I ordered your book IMMEDIATELY, through the link you provided, as I had been looking to do so since you first described it. But…

They charged my card. Right away. As in, IMMEDIATELY.

Hi Tim,

Big fan, and I’ve just preordered from Amazon UK (I live in Scotland) – is there any possible way to speed up the estimated release date they’ve given as February 2011?

I appreciate this may be beyond your control, but waiting almost an entire quarter longer for the UK release doesn’t seem right when it’s the same book as the US release (i.e. doesnt need to be translated!).

Either way I’m looking forward to reading it!

Hi Tim,

I just ordered the expanded 4 Hour Workweek and your new 4 hour body and look forward to receiving them in December. I just started looking into you and hope I can apply your fruitful knowledge.

Will you be writing another book on the subject that is directed to specific sports such as bodybuilding or even just a continuation of this new book?

I’ve personally had to stop lifting weights and went back to just yoga/calisthenics. So I hope this book can give me insights to what I was doing wrong with the weights. My torso region, my arms, and several other places are very tight and I just don’t know why. I’m probably 25-30% bodyfat at 275 pounds. I’ll be cutting out 30 pounds in November.

Does this book offer any yoga like stretches or breathing protocols. Does it offer cross training advice? I’ve been trying to put together my own workout plan but the one Casey Viator did looks to be optimal. I’d probably take out the leg raises but keep in the full form squats myself. His Arthur Jones routine was 27 minutes long. You’ve probably included less weightlifting exercises and included a longer resting period, so I’d like to see how that works out when I try it. My best guess is it’s always easier to start out fresh with a good plan. I have to undo a lot of the wrong strategies I had been doing all these years.

I’ll post my blog just in case anyone wants to see all my strengths and weaknesses. It’s in no way an advertisement.

Thanks for the 4-Hour Workweek too! I’ve bought it twice, and recommended it to everyone I know. It inspired me to start my own online muse which I am doing, but it’s definitely been a grind. Programmers charge a lot these days.

Keep it real huh?

I was away from my computer for a bit too long and unfortunately missed out on the signed copies. I plan on ordering 5+ books for friends, family and everyone! I know plenty of people who would love a book or two for Christmas!

I don’t see anything about this teleconference that everyone is talking about anywhere. Is this still available? And does ordering from one website help you out more than the other?

None the less, I will still be pre-ordering a regular version, just a bit disappointing, considering that I bookedmarked the link/gotmyhopesup/got my card out and everything, heh.

So yeah, if the “signed” option on BN isn’t available, the regular pre-order won’t be signed, right?

Tim, can you please stop being such an a-hole?

Not only did you write that best selling first book of yours and keep an active and successful blog, but now you have to release a second book that is sure to be a huge success as well? I mean come on, stop making guys like us, who never quite seem to find the right balance of perspiration to match our inspiration, feel crap about themselves. I could have written this new book of yours, I mean, I could have, if I was writing a book, but now you’ve gone and done it. So selfish.

Can’t you lose some of that self confidence? Maybe if you had a secret perversion along the lines of tipping old people’s wheelchairs over or something I could get behind you.

Until then you are just a successful, insightful, driven, probably nicely interior decorated, a-hole.

Hi Tim,

I preordered, and am psyched. I am intrigued by “reversing permanent injury.” At 36 and after some time in the NFL, I’m feeling like my body is conspiring against me with arthritis and torn labrums and such. Should I keep my expectations for this book in check, or do you think you’ve come across some genuine revelations that can help me regain some of my prior ability?

Also, I am ground zero at work for recommending 4HWW, and my old boss even loves it!

Much success!

Crazy dreams, right? Pretty nuts when you jump right into REM from waking state. Lots of transfer.

I am curious why it was promoted on BN for the signed copy. Today, the link sends to Amazon.com.

Why not continued with BN promoting the unsigned copy?

Explain?

Hi Tim, Good Luck with the new book. I’m not sure if I’m one of the lucky first 3,000 who will get a signed copy but I pre-ordered it from B&N anyways because you asked so nicely. The 4-Hour Work Week is awesome (I tell everyone about it) and I have a feeling The 4-Hour Body will be even more enlightening and inspiring. I just wish more people would read your book so they’d stop wondering why I have so much free time to do what I love (chuckles).

Hi Tim, I just saw the link you posted earlier that goes direct to the signed version and clicked on that then clicked on hard cover and ended up with this as my order: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-4-Hour-Body/Timothy-Ferriss/e/9780594036197/?itm=3&USRI=4-hour+body

My order says this

The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman

Timothy Ferriss

Hardcover

ISBN-13: 9780307463630

Online Price: $14.58

Can you tell me if this will be a signed copy? The page previous to the check out says (Sign Edition) but on the order page it changed to (Hard Cover) so I’m just wondering if I should expect the signed version or not.

Hi Jeff,

If you ordered from the “signed edition” page, you’re all set! Thanks so much.

To those who have asked, the signed edition was only on the “signed edition” page at BN.com. Please note that the book on Amazon is unsigned (but the content is the same, of course!).

All the best,

Tim

I can’t wait, Tim. Good on you for the “body:” hack and the “female orgasm” hack, too. I am hoping you or your people will reply to my facemail about coming on my “Everyone Wants to Have Better Sex” radio show and podcast to talk about the ORGASM ideas. It’s my mission to help people all over the planet to have better sex.

Hey Tim,

I’m just curious since you talk about Stephen Key in 4HWW if you’ve bought his new book “One Simple Idea”? I preordered it as well. Now I’ve got 2 books I can’t wait to get my hands on.

Just a comment…

but isn’t the internet cool?

I wanted a book signed by an author, but instead, because of the internet…

I get a direct response to a question about the book, from the author.

The internet + Tim= awesome. ^_^

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.

It is not enough to just read the words of Tim, you have to model the way he thinks (a la NLP) also! See “Do as I think not as I say: reverse-engineering the mind of Tim Ferriss” in Interesting Times #5.

Haha Peru worth checkin out. If you ever want to go to a shamanic healing center, shoot me an email. I can recommend you to one of the best in the area. One of the most incredible experiences I´ve gone through. The medicinal plant that you take, Ayahuasca, will show you sooooo much about yourself that you didn´t even knew existed within you. It pretty much reveals in detail everything that you have thought and felt about in your past, present, and future. Can´t wait to get back home and apply everything that I´ve learned. Again, thank you for giving me the knowledge to experience this and many more journeys to come. Whenever I meet you, I have quite a nice gift to give you. Take care!

Preordered to Canada! Tim, what are your thoughts of the applicability of the methods to an intermediate powerlifter? At 155lbs, I have benched 215, squatted 240 and deadlifted 355 conventional.

Thanks for contributing Tim. This helps greatly. I’ve already purchased 3 copys of 4 hour work week for family. I’ll probably purchase 5 for family and friends this time!

Tim,

I’ve never been one to have a guru or idol, but you may very well change this – between the way you live your life, your talent and hard work for distilling your knowledge and experience into such meaty books and blog posts (I am going to read the new expanded FH Workweek on Mt Tam today), and now the Body book. I’m down for the challenge and with the mid-Dec. ship date, well what perfect timing for a call for worldwide new years resolutions to all change our bodies with the book at once.

Nice work walking the talk and being the talk.

Looking forward to receiving the book. Wanted to order the Audio version also on Amazon, but it does not mention who the narrator is. A sample audio clip would also be great.

Looks like you’re already #32 on the Amazon books list — very nice. I’ve ordered mine & can’t wait to get the signed copy.

BTW, I met a friend of yours in Denver the other day — he calls you Timmy. LOL

Great work!
