Tools of Titans
Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers | Timothy Ferriss
The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. From the author: For the last two years, Ive interviewed nearly two hundred 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, its the first time theyve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview, and the show is on the cusp of passing 100 million downloads. This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and inside baseball you wont find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new guests you havent 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 sixty 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 dont view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I cant test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, Im not interested. Everything within these pages has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. Ive 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. Its changed my life, and I hope the same for you.

Started reading this abt 6 months ago. It's a book that I think is best if you dip into at intervals as there is alot of advice - most of which is from the distillation of the author's podcast with his interviewees.
There is alot of good stuff as well as sections that may not be applicable to you - but you will still need to go through the book to figure out if it is applicable. 😂😂 I wish it was indexed better but I understand why it isn't.

An intriguing read that is worth going through progressively and digesting each chapter (interview) so that you can make the most of it in whatever it is your soul is searching for. Have gifted it to some people already

So this book was gifted to me by a good friend, and up until that fateful day I had no clue who Tim Ferris was, but I knew I was on a self improvement journey so I said screw it! This is a big book (I was intimidated) But I am so very glad I did. The book delivers as promised. I don‘t care who you are or what you want to improve upon this book right here will have some hidden and most interesting gems for you do to so. Favorite. Book. Ever.

Well, this was a weird one. The disclaimer the author makes at the beginning is that not every interview will relate to you, and you should pick and choose which ones do. Ultimately it‘s a lot of fascinating information from enormously interesting people, but it often left me feeling overwhelmed and anxious. If you tried to do everything this book recommends you‘d lose your marbles. Proceed with caution.

I have been very happily spending my time, making my way through this treasure trove of a book. I thought I knew a lot by now but I learned so very much from these mentors‘ advice including more books to add to my TBR list. I really feel that this book has resulted in self-improvement and much inspiration. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

wow. I‘m so happy i picked this up. It is a long read, and I was getting a bit distracted by page 550, but the book, as a whole, is amazing. There are 8 pages at the end of the book with just book reccomendations by world class performers, and this alone is worth (to me) the price of the book. After reading it, I‘d say it‘s immediate value to me was $200, but the lifetime value... Priceless

Such a great takeaway!!! This book is going fast because I'm skipping sections that don't apply (some on workouts I'm not going to do, or psychedelics, or addiction....) and it's refreshing to get to the good stuff quicker.

My brother has this book and I may steal it! (He got me in a group gift swap and got me nothing, so it's totally fair!) I love this idea of deloading. Lots of good gems in here. 💎

Tim talks about how to get into ketosis FAST in this book. I am going to try it in the new year, I was in it before and holy shit it was amazing! Maybe his version will save me some of the misery that whole 30 is famous for.

#TBRtemptation post! Who here enjoys a self-help book from time to time? This seems like a great one! It's beautiful, both inside & out, & it doesn't seem to be one of those rah-rah Tony Robbins-type books; rather, it's one that synthesizes together the data from an extensive swath of very successful people & provides proper pattern analysis. That's the kind of material I'm interested in! (Like "The 48 Laws of Power".) #blame Litsy #blameMrBook ?

Tcip I work at a prison, the 48 laws of power is actually a book they are not allowed to have because of how much it teaches inmates to be master manipulators. 8y
courtney @Tcip that is actually super interesting! Do you know of any other books that aren't allowed to be in prison? 8y
Claireluana I'm pretty sure my law school classmate Amelia Boone is in that book! 8y

Tcip @courtney anything that has to do with drugs or guns basically. Examples being bios on chappo Guzman books on the cartels. Books about manipulation and any magazines that show penetration. 8y
LibrarianJen Does it have anything in there on leadership? My boss wants me to "research" and "practice" leadership. 8y
Tcip @LibrarianJen can I offer a suggestion? 8y
LibrarianJen @Tcip of course!!!!! 8y
JessieReadsInBK I interviewed him the other day and he seems like an awesome guy. I'm getting my dad this book for Christmas! 8y
Tcip @LibrarianJen this book helped me a ton when I was a new supervisor. But if there is a specific type of company you work for there are better more specific books (i.e business,customer service) 8y
LibrarianJen @Tcip I work for accessinn.com a small software company. But I think she means more than just work, I think she wants me to be a leader in the library world as well. No pressure or anything! 8y
Tcip @LibrarianJen I believe in you. 8y
LibrarianJen @Tcip aww thanks! 😊🙌🏼 8y
