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."

Need the Physical Version

Lkke the concept and ideas but it really doesn't work well as an audio book as the lists/quotes sound fragmented.

Quote / Unquote

The content of this book is SO good. I've been able to implement some of the things and I really feel better. But the constant "quote" "unquote" is too much. It's distracting and not needed. If I want to go back and refer to material, I think buying the actual book would have been better.

Not suited for audio listening

I believe this would have been significantly better if it was read. This is a very tough listen.

Great Book

Another book full of insight, the last 2 hours of the book are the best, in my opinion.

Get the audiobook and physical book

If you are only getting the book or audiobook, get the physical book, otherwise get both. I would have preferred to have the physical book before starting the audiobook to follow along.

Not quite what I expected, but will listen again.

Challenges a lot of your thought processes. whether you agree or disagree with them, which is the hallmark of a great book on life and business.

Great but...

Tim obviously breaks from interviews in the book to explain things, or insert a small story or related fact, and that would make sense to read, but when the voice actors sound so similar it was hard to know who was actually talking at certain points. He'd go off on a long speel, then he'd ask the interviewee another question and I'd think "Shit we're still on that person? I thought Tim's been taking this while time and was onto a new section of the book- who's he interviewing again?".

Amazing amazing book, but not enough voice distinction or audio queues to tone change, paragraph interjection, or section breaks.
