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

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.”
