Publisher's summary

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek.

From the author:

"For the last two years, I've interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview. This unusual depth has helped make The Tim Ferriss Show the first business/interview podcast to pass 100 million downloads.

"This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and 'inside baseball' you won't find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new 'guests' you haven't met.

"What makes the show different is a relentless focus on actionable details. This is reflected in the questions. For example: What do these people do in the first 60 minutes of each morning? What do their workout routines look like, and why? What books have they gifted most to other people? What are the biggest wastes of time for novices in their field? What supplements do they take on a daily basis?

"I don't view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I can't test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, I'm not interested."

"Everything [in this audiobook] has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. I've used dozens of the tactics and philosophies in high-stakes negotiations, high-risk environments, or large business dealings. The lessons have made me millions of dollars and saved me years of wasted effort and frustration.

"I created this book, my ultimate notebook of high-leverage tools, for myself. It's changed my life, and I hope the same for you."

Killed it!

Tim you killed it once again my man. I love this so much!!! Thanks for always being a guiding light in my life and in so many others. We’re so lucky to call you a virtual mentor.
All the best,

Michel.

Great but could use less curse words.

Curse words don't personally bother me but I am unable to listen when my 5 year old son is around. Curse words are useful every once in a while in writing but they are constantly used in this book. It waters down the quality of expressing meaning. It comes off as an attempt to sound "cool."

Good

Memorable lessons, I will revisit sections again. This book is exactly what Ferris says it is.

Insightful and valuable tidbits. Male narrator is a bit annoying at times.

Overall this audiobook was worth the 1 credit I spent on it. I had not heard of Tim Ferriss before this, and he sounds a bit full of himself in the introduction. I came to learn from a Ted Talk video that he has Bipolar Disorder and has battles major depression dozens of times. This makes him much more human.
The insights are great - especially from Amelia Boone, Scott Adams and others.
The male narrator who reads passages is a bit annoying - sounds too macho and pompous sometimes. He detracts from overall good content.

Life changing advise from so many great people.

Some chapters may not vibe with everyone, but stick with it and I guarantee you'll be glad you did. This is definitely going to be a book I listen to again and again.

Great collection of excellence!

Loved this book! After only a few chapters I ordered the hard copy as well. Highly recommend 👍

Tim is the best. Carnegie/Napoleon Hill level

Tim is the best. Dale Carnegie/Napoleon Hill level. The way he writes. The way he approaches a problem. His research, ideas, tales. He is a gem for anyone. For everyone. Honestly I think the benefits he gifted the world with are greatly bigger than the benefits he got out of it for himself.

Highly recommend!

A good opportunity to see how multiple different types of successful people are able to stay focused. You wont need everything in this book, but I can see there being something for everyone.

I was hesitant about getting the audiobook

I made the mistake of going to the audible reviews to figure out if i should get the audiobook with my monthly credit. My conclusion is that there will always be people crying about how something isn't right with the information, narration, anything. Everyone wants the answer to their problems instantaneously on a silver platter. The truth is this book/audiobook is organized and sectioned off well enough to enjoy and learn from it. Tim literally takes a portion of the audiobook to talk about the audiobook format. Every chapter is not a one size fits all but i got much value off off each one. Each chapter is like asking a famous and successful person "got any advice?"

gem 💎

full of good quotes info and perspective! will be reading to/ listing to it over and over, that is after 4 hrs work week
