Summary
The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the
#1 *
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
sixty 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 within these pages 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.” **
