Main points:
The book is divided into four sections, each section explores the definition of a lifestyle design named D.E.A.L..  
The goal of lifestyle design is to free oneself from the often suffocating and rigid structure that surrounds the 9-5 work day.

Define your objectives. Decide what's important, set goals, ask yourself 'what do I really want?'.
Eliminate distraction to free up time. Learn to be effective, not efficient. Focus on the stuff that is important. Put yourself on a low information 'diet'. Learn to say no.
Automate your cash flow to increase income. Outsource your life, hire a virtual assistant to handle basic tasks. Develop a business that can run on a auto-pilot without you.
Liberate yourself from the traditional expectations. Liberation can come in many forms. It can be spending more time at home, with the family. It can also mean mini retirements in international locations. Or it can mean permanent foreign traveling around the world.
FREE YOURSELF. 

Emphasize strengths, don’t fix weaknesses. Most people are good at a handful of things and utterly miserable at most. Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair.
