The truth is that since the first book, I have wanted to emulate Benjamin Franklin and put together a healthy, wealthy and wise trilogy and so healthy was 'The 4-Hour Body,' wealthy was 'The 4-Hour Workweek' and then wise is 'The 4-Hour Chef.'

People who avoid all criticism fail. It's destructive criticism we need to avoid, not criticism in all forms.

The biggest misconception about work is that you need to spend the majority of your time doing it.

If you don't have time, the truth is, you don't have priorities. Think harder; don't work harder.

Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.

Someday is a dis-ease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.
