Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers

Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers

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 to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and 'inside baseball' you won’t find anywhere else. What makes the show different is a relentless focus on actionable details. What do these people do in the first sixty minutes of each morning? What books have they gifted most to other people? 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."

Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World

Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World

Author:

I surprised myself by reading Tim Ferriss's Tools for Titans twice. From the author: "How could I better say 'no' to the trivial many to better say 'yes' to the critical few? To find answers, I reached out to the most impressive world-class performers in the world, ranging from wunderkinds in their 20s to icons in their 70s and 80s. This book contains their answers—practical and tactical advice from mentors who have found solutions. Someone else has traveled a similar path and taken notes. Among other things, you will learn: • More than 50 morning routines—both for the early riser and those who struggle to get out of bed. • The best purchases of $100 or less (you'll never have to think about the right gift again). • How to meditate and be more mindful. • How to truly achieve work-life balance. • And much more."

World traveler and podcast guest Travis Meserve of WSIRN episode 144 cited this book by Tim Ferriss as one of his favorites. This expanded and updated has 100 pages of new content. From the publisher: "Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan–there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, or earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, The 4-Hour Workweek is the blueprint."
