#1 New York Times Bestseller
The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the best-selling
author of The 4-Hour Workweek.
From the author: “For the last two years, I’ve 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, it’s the first time they’ve 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 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 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 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 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. 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.”

Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The
4-Hour Workweek, shares the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure
book--a compilation of tools, tactics, and habits from 130+ of the
world's top performers. From iconic entrepreneurs to elite
athletes, from artists to billionaire investors, their short
profiles can help you answer life's most challenging questions,
achieve extraordinary results, and transform your life. From the
author: In 2017, several of my close friends died in rapid
succession. It was a very hard year, as it was for many people. It
was also a stark reminder that time is our scarcest, non-renewable
resource. With a renewed sense of urgency, I began asking myself
many questions: Were my goals my own, or simply what I thought I
should want? How much of life had I missed from underplanning or
overplanning? How could I be kinder to myself? How could I better
say "no" to the trivial many to better say "yes" to the critical
few? How could I best reassess my priorities and my purpose in this
world? 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. No stone was left
unturned. This book contains their answers--practical and tactical
advice from mentors who have found solutions. Whether you want to
10x your results, get unstuck, or reinvent yourself, someone else
has traveled a similar path and taken notes. This book, Tribe of
Mentors, includes many of the people I grew up viewing as idols or
demi-gods. Less than 10% have been on my podcast (The Tim Ferriss
Show, more than 200 million downloads), making this a brand-new
playbook of playbooks. No matter your challenge or opportunity,
something in these pages can help. 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. - How TED curator Chris
Anderson realized that the best way to get things done is to let
go. - The best purchases of $100 or less (you'll never have to
think about the right gift again). - How to overcome failure and
bounce back towards success. - Why Humans of New York creator
Brandon Stanton believes that the best art will always be the
riskiest. - How to meditate and be more mindful (and not just for
those that find it easy). - Why tennis champion Maria Sharapova
believe that "losing makes you think in ways victories can't." -
How to truly achieve work-life balance (and why most people tell
you it isn't realistic). - How billionaire Facebook co-founder
Dustin Moskovitz transformed the way he engages with difficult
situations to reduce suffering. - Ways to thrive (and survive) the
overwhelming amount of information you process every day. - How to
achieve clarity on your purpose and assess your priorities. - And
much more. This reference book, which I wrote for myself, has
already changed my life. I certainly hope the same for you. I wish
you luck as you forge your own path. All the best, Tim Ferriss
