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."

In one word, "Good" ... that'll make sense around page 700

Reviewed in Australia on 18 December 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is like an encyclopedia of knowledge that I would hand down to my child. I highlighted no less than 50 books I now consider "must reads" and took down more quotes of wisdom, insight and brilliance than I think I'll ever be able to memorize.

Most notably, Tim shares a person passage on suicide. In a world of tech start-ups, billionaires, world class performers and chess prodigies (to paraphrase) this raw, humble and touching part of the book brought me to tears.

I've already recommended this book to the smartest 10 people I know and would definitely consider myself 'one of 1,000 true fans' having read the whole book off my iPhone in 4 days, while accomplishing 4 straight days of meditation for the first time in my life, starting the 5 Minute Journal, religiously making my bed the tidiest in the house, doing my fair share of Wim Hof breathing in the freezing shower of a morning and star gazing therapy before bed at night.

You're changing lives Tim and this book is a triumph!

Thank you.

Exactly what you’d expect - in a good way!

Reviewed in Australia on 17 March 2021

This book delivers exactly what it advertises. It’s a summary of the most practical tools and insights of Tim and his podcast guests. It’s a great reference book and I intend to use my kindle highlights in the future. However what makes this book great (lots of topics touched in a relatively short number of pages) is also why I wouldn’t recommend it if you haven’t listened to many of Tim’s long-form interviews: it’s too surfacey if you haven’t “done the work”. You’ll get more out of these people by listening to the interviews in full first, repetition is key and practice makes perfect doesn’t it?

treasure trove of tips and helpers from top performers

Reviewed in Australia on 10 December 2016

I so love this stuff!

This is a collection of Tim’s tenacious pursuit of being better in the form of a couple hundred distilled interviews. You can spend the three months listening to all the podcasts and making notes or get this.

I can see myself coming back to this so many times. Not every topic is relevant to me now but I know I will return to many when I need and go from there.

Thanks Tim and the many that helped put this treasure trove together! PK ;-)

Fantastic and unique book, but go with hard copy!

Reviewed in Australia on 24 May 2018

Brilliant book, but I recommend hard copy. I ended up buying one as well so I can easily flip in between interviewees across the book. I also like to highly and make notes in this book, hence another reason hardcopy is preferable.

When I began tools of titans I started to feel it may be of little use. I had read tim's previous books and listened to a good percentage of his podcasts.
My initial feeling couldn't have been more wrong, this is a great read full of fantastic insight that I recommend for anyone wanting to be better at anything.

Great tips for keeping the motivation factor in your life turned up

Reviewed in Australia on 5 February 2019

Great book, I actually didn’t have the highest of hopes, thought it might be an interesting Sunday afternoon light read but was truly engrossed and have gone back to many sections over and over. It is inspirational in many ways and I appreciated the broad spectrum of people interviewed, well worth the purchase.

Yet another TF nonsense

Reviewed in Australia on 20 March 2020

Yet another publicity stunt from TF to raise his profile by interviewing the greats and sharing unrelatable info. Go read a book on meditation or finding yourself instead.

Sprinklings of greatness

Interesting book that I will definitely re read to absorb as much as possible. Some sections are dense. But it is designed to be skipped if you're not particularly interested in gymnastics or what ever topic.

Massacre of trees that were used to print this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2018

Verified Purchase

Folks, I'm an admirer of Tim Ferriss and listen to his podcast with interest and really admire his style of conducting his conversations with his guests. However while a podcast a radio program or perhaps even tv/video program is good format for the kind of content that Tim Ferriss and his guests cover, that certainly is not content worthy of a book - particularly if at the back of it the author does not hesitate to call himself a published author. I have lot of respect for Tim Ferriss as a result of his podcasts and content he's covered there, but just to take transcripts of those chats and publish as a book doesn't suit this otherwise worthy/intelligent man.

this book is not like you can read continuously in a week or so

Reviewed in India on 9 July 2017

Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of Tim Ferris and I really waited for this book to launch in India and the wait is worth it. if you really wanna learn about the mindset of successful people then you must read this.
This book not only tells you how to be successful by financial side but it tells you how to be rich in knowledge and health. you can see some personal recommendations by the persons who are at the top level in this field.
this book is different from all the other books, this book is not like you can read continuously in a week or so, this book contains podcasts summaries which you can read each day/week and it has sections divided in it. you can read something of where you are a lack in.
the best thing I love about this book that it contains personal book recommendation from the peoples whose podcasts are written there.
in the end, i just want to say definitely buy and read this book and trust me you gonna love it.

I have run my own business for 2 years. I have read hundreds of books, in that time, made loads of mistake, but thankfully grown to do well.

Had I had this book from the start, I would have been where I am now within a year, avoided half the mistakes and saved a lot of time. Really recommend to anyone who wants to gain a range of advice covering business, development and most importantly I think outlook on things.

Very good. If Tony Robbins was the King, Tim Ferriss has become a very able prince.

Really wasn’t for me too scattered

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2019

Verified Purchase

First Tim Ferris book that I’ve read and I’m honestly struggling to get into it. Very unstructured with him telling you go to page 344 for this and then page 522 to complete it. If you are into trying a new coffee mixed with 9 minutes of breathing techniques followed by stretches and mantras in the morning this is your book. Thought this book would be gold but it doesn’t let you delve into it enough when you find someone or chapter you like. It really is just highlights of the podcast. Also it is rather contradictive between people on what they do/opinions but I suppose it’s to let you compare and try for yourself.

Was looking forward to reading more about Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tony Robbins etc but it doesn’t go deep enough into it. Save your money and just focus on the podcasts involving such people that does interest you.

Gave up on this book half way through due to the nature of it. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Going to try the 4 hour Work Week as it’s his biggest title but surely can’t be worse than this book.

Must read if you have the guts to dream big and follow through

Reviewed in India on 30 January 2018

Verified Purchase

I loved this book.But this is not a book for you if you don't like learning from other people's mistakes.Its one of those books where you love the disclaimer, forward, index and 600 plus pages of everything.
In the disclaimer, Tim Ferris tells you to consult a common sense specialist and not to blindly follow the book.While many topics may be controversial and the advice borderline, what cannot be ignored is the unique nature of the book.There is 111 famous men and women in the book sharing their experience with health, wealth and wisdom.A good chance of standing on the shoulders of giants.
Must read if you have plans to make a billion or two(no harm dreaming)!
