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."

Not supposed to be an audiobook
This book might be good in the written format but is very difficult to follow as an audiobook. Too many quotes, websites, lists and the overall format make it a bad choice for an audiobook. The attached reading material doesn’t help either.

Not your normal book
This is an interesting book and should be used as a reference guide rather than a cover to cover read. I have read reviews where listeners have given a poor review with it being a difficult book to listen to. There is some truth to this however the data in this book is excellent and extremely valuable. It should be thought of as a distillation of decades of personal experience from leaders in their fields with references to workable technologies and experiences that can be applied to ones life. There are not many places one can find access to data like this. It further serves as a wonderful starting guide to further research into data and fields that one finds interesting. Take Tim Ferriss’ guide on how to use this book to heart, skip sections of no interest and use those that fit your interests and research. I hope that helps others looking to purchase this book and to manage expectations. For me it has been well worth it.
