How to Get The 4-Hour Chef Audiobook Free — Only Until 10am PST (1pm EST) 151 Comments

Written by Tim Ferriss Topics: Marketing, The 4-Hour Chef - 4HC

Gilbert Gottfried reads 50 Shades of Grey. NSFW.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS OFFER HAS EXPIRED — THANKS!

Many of you have been asking me for the audiobook version of The 4-Hour Chef. Now that I control the rights, I’d like to offer it to you… for free.

The offer is at the end of this post, but first…

Who should join me?

I’ll record a lot myself, but I’d like to involve other voice actors for small bits and pieces.

Who would you vote for? Here are some of my favorites. If you like any other them, please Tweet at them using the following format:

“Request! @[insert name] Please narrate a piece of The 4-Hour Chef audiobook! http://amzn.to/LQjLlm @tferriss is a fan.”

For instance:

“Request! @SamuelLJackson Please narrate a piece of The 4-Hour Chef audiobook! http://amzn.to/LQjLlm @tferriss is a fan.”

Here are a few I think would be incredible, even for just a few lines:

- Samuel L. Jackson – @SamuelLJackson
- Patton Oswalt (played “Remy” in Ratatouille) – @PattonOswalt
- Ben Stiller – @RedHourBen
- Morgan Freeman – I’m unsure which Twitter account is real, if any.
- Chuck Norris – Not on Twitter?
- Tony Robbins – @TonyRobbins
- Neil Gaiman – @NeilHimself
- Brad Garrett (played “Gusteau” in Ratatouille) – Not on Twitter?

Who am I missing? Any requests?

The Offer

Here’s the offer, good only until tomorrow (Saturday) at 10AM PST (1pm EST):

- Buy one (1) hardcover copy of The 4-Hour Body (BODY) and fill out this form. You’re all set.

- Or… if you buy three (3) hardcover copies of The 4-Hour Body (BODY), you’ll get both the audiobook for free and my $299 CreativeLIVE course described here for free. Just purchase the 3 books on Amazon and fill out this form.

- Give extra books to close friends and family who can use them. Challenge them to join the current DietBet.

NOTE: If you already bought three books this week through the last promo, you’re automatically getting the audiobook Otherwise, alas, only new orders count.

What will it be like?

I’ve never had a chance to make an audiobook myself and intend to make this one VERY fun and unusual. It will necessarily omit the recipes and be abridged, but there’s a lot of room for creativity.

Completing it could take a few months, but it will be well worth it. If you buy The 4-Hour Body with this promotion, you’ll get the audiobook (free) at least a month before anyone else.

If I think up more cool opportunities, you’ll be the first people to hear about it.

Hey Tim, I would love a free copy of this as an audiobook. I have 4hr work and 4hr body on audio and I am constantly playing bookmarked sections for my students to inspire them during their lessons (i teach drivers ed). I just got the hard copy of 4hr chef last week…loving it so far, just finished the meta section. I’m really not planning on getting the hard copy of body, I also teach yoga and i incorporate a lot of your lessons into my own. From the meta section alone there is so much I could offer to my driving students… anyhow, thanks anyway. I’ll be contacting you and your henchmen in the future when I am in need of consultation. Peace!

Tim, I live in China and on Amazon in China your book is about 4 times more expensive than Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.cn/The-4-Hour-Chef-The-Simple-Path-to-Cooking-Like-a-Pro-Learning-Anything-and-Living-the-Good-Life-Ferriss-Timothy/dp/0547884591/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359167185&sr=8-1

I only can buy on Amazon in China. Or I’d be happy to get an e-book but I don’t think it exists.

Do you think if I buy this 4 times more expensive version I can get a deal with CreativeLIVE course?
Otherwise it makes sense for me to just hold up until audiobook or e-book is out and just buy that.

I’ll even nominate myself as fan numero uno. You inspired me to live a life worthy of a kick ass obituary. So far, (35 years) here’s a few of the things that can be listed when I die; father, online ordained reverend (performed 4 marriages so far), undercover narcotics detective, real estate business, and I’d love to add a voice actor to my ever growing list.

I spend the rest of my time in Sebastopol, Ca. or Baja. You’re always welcome for a green tour around my neck o’ the woods.

I think you should read it — no one can tell the story as good as the author. I’m 10x more likely to buy an audiobook if it’s read by the author.

Since you own all the rights, just grab a Blue Yeti and start reading for an hour every day. Then outsource the rest to be edited, and pop it on ejunkie. You should be done with it in a month.

Boom.

As an avid audiobook junkie I found that voices that are too unique and strong are a big destruction for consuming content. But, I get a feeling this is more of a publishing promotion angle, so the bigger the voice the better.

Why not use Julia Child’s voice?

It’s a cooking book so it definitely should include a few paragraphs by these great musicians :

Mikael Akerfeldt
Henry Rollins
Mike Portnoy

and yeah some chefs would be great too :

Tony Bourdain
Jamie Oliver
Nigella Lawson
Gordon Ramsay

Tim this is a great example of Jeff Walker’s stacking on the cool formula. Add another awesome addition to the offer to make it even more irresistible. Genius

Tim, Did you know that visually impaired readers can ‘read’ at over 400wpm?

The inventor of text to speech, Ray Kurzweil MUST read from your book and one of his Kurzweil software voices!

Did you know that all resources that school districts buy must be UDL (Universal Design for Learning)?

The director/creator of UDL, David Rose, must also read a chapter!

Love the book and I hope you put a device on the recording where we can speed up the speech! Then I could read the whole book on my 1 hour run!

Hey Tim… Bought the 4 Hour Chef and am working on learning and applying the DISS process. I am a 1st year Physician Assistant student and I am trying to work this in on my learning of medicine. Just wondering if you have any specific experiences, techniques, advice for learning medicine.

Thanks

I can’t wait for the audiobook to be completed!

I love the list you have going for guest voices, but after recently watching Les Mis and knowing that you have an appreciation for Hugh Jackman for his Wolverine and his recommendation of 4HB (I think you mentioned in a Random Show), I say it would also be great to add Hugh Jackman to your list!!

Keep ‘er up, Tim!

Hi,

I purchased the 4-Hour Body via Audible audiobooks and am interested in taking advantage of the 4-Hour Chef Audiobook deal. Is the deal still valid for me?

Hi Tim

I submitted a copy of my receipt for 3 x Four Hour Chefs to take advantage of your original offer and recieved a confirmation notice advising that I would receive your course in the next ten days however haven’t seen anything come in yet. Could you advise if it has been distributed yet please? Looking forward to receiving it.

WOW! I just recieve the CreativeLIVE course and i am so glad i jumped on the occasion to buy some duplicates of those books to get the course. It’s amazing how much value is in there. At first i though to myself “humm, Tim will say the same things i’ve heard from many different interviews i’ve listened (many many) so I’m not sure of the value, but what the hell, its 45$ just buy the books and give them to friends. And i’ve been listening to the first day and now im listening to the Noah Kagan interview and boy this guy is amazing, wow. I’ll make a summary of all the videos to make sure i internalize all this because i want to use as much as possible in my life. Knowing what’s in there, i would easily pay the 300$ of the course to get it now so this is extreme value. Thanks Tim!

Just purchased all three of your books from Amazon. 4HC got me interested but 4HB is really turning my house and family around. I’ll be buying more 4HB for my children and my friends. Are any of your offers still available? In any event, thanks for your work.

Can’t I just buy a copy of the audiobook at Audible like I’ve done for your other two books? This seems like using alternative marketing to become a huge pain in the butt.

I love the idea of suggested authors, but to say that I just can’t buy this audiobook because I haven’t bought more of your products is not cool.

Count me out. Jaron

I think it is not fair Tim. I have read your book and started to SCD. So far, no weight lost. I am not throwing a towel yet but I’ve been searching and searching. SCD is not working on women as the way it works on men. That is why; you MUST find a female version of you, and she should experiment different expects of the diet. Hormones are different, plus reactions are different. I though you like to find an answer for anything. So…what about us? It is not FAIR. Will you do it?

Alexandra fox — March 28th, 2013, 2:17 pm

Hi Tim,
My name is Alexandra, I’m almost 40 & live in LA.
I was given your book by a pal, after mentioning hearing you on Nerdist & WTF podcasts. I found you very inspiring, as well as practical.
Quick question, re: my usual supplements, I’m in first “official” week now.
I have been taking all my usual, except CLA, I took it for a few days-then stopped (only 1, 1000mg daily).
Here’s my list of daily supplements-
Multi (generic centrum)
2 D3′s 400iu each (my mom had BC)
1 vit.A 8000 iu (Ex cig.smoker for 20 yrs., & still medicinally smoke pot 1x day in PM)
2 cinnamon capsules 1g + chromium (amino acid chelate) 100mcg (all in one)
1 Milk thistle extract 140 mg.(seed extract 140, silmarin by UV 98mg)
1 vit. E 400iu
2 Ginkgo Biloba tablets (don’t have orig. package, but I know it’s low dose)
1 Garlic & parsley “”(same as above)
1 ALA 200 mg.
1 dose Pure powder vit.C, 1000 mg. Just started doing daily again past few days, I was out.
Echinachia & goldenseal (low dose tablet) 2-3x week, maybe
1-2 phenylephrine PE 10 mg
Melatonin (Trader Joes) 500mcg. 2-4 nightly
That’s it for the daily. I did think I was getting a canker sore 3 days ago, so I took some Lysine for 2-3 days. That is only x I ever take Lysine, which is rarely.

I am a performer & artist, just barely scraping by month to month, to avoid a McJob. I am going to order supplements you suggest today online (sans ALA, which I have). I’m also getting magnesium, as you suggest for sleep. I haven’t had blood done in MANY years, needle phobic. I’ve been planning on getting done in next few mo.s. I grew up w/ Dr. In family until I was 17, when he passed. My Nana died at 97, she is the one who got me into supplements, along w/ The Bottom Line health publication, which I subscribed to for years. I don’t work out much in past 2 yrs., but am very active, walk plenty, bike & tennis few x a mo. I look much younger than I am, thanks to genes. Quitting smoking once and for all, last year (after many failed attempts) seemed to coincide with some stubborn belly fat, then somewhat sudden cellulite, more than I’ve ever had, on my thighs. I only want to lose 12-14 lbs. at most. I’m hoping that’ll help both these issues. I’m planning on blood work in next couple of months, as soon as I can afford it.
Thank you, or your assistants, for your time. I appreciate it very much.
I have been spreading the 4HB word far & wide, not that you need it:-)

Best Regards,
Alex

Hey Tim, the toy guy here…hope the book is coming along good. I honestly loved Ray Porter for the 4HWW…sounds sorta like Dan Akroyd to me! I am curious having you read your own work to see where the infliction’s evolve within. I’d assume a more emotional connection with the work, ya know? If you want any listening input, just yell, my time is yours!
