Tools Of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers by Timothy Ferriss (PDF)

Description

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, 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 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.”

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Tim, if you’re reading this, I have a great idea for you at the end of this review. No sarcasm, no snark.DISCLAIMER: I am a Tim Ferriss apologist. I’ve listened to almost every episode of his podcast. Own his books. Have been following him since 4 Hour Work Week came out.Tim’s podcast has rewired my brain. My life is measurably better because of what I’ve learned. Literally. I have hereditary cholesterol problems and my forays into a ketogenic lifestyle dropped my particle count from ~1950 to ~1225. There are many other great things that have come as a result of my exposure to Tim’s podcast, too many to list here.When he announced TOOLS OF TITANS, I was ecstatic. I pre-ordered this book in September.I’m sad to say that I’m non-plussed, borderline disappointed.On one hand, I love having a “totem” of something that has changed my life so profoundly. To that end, I am happy to own the book.On the other hand, it does not deliver on its promise. This is supposedly a “recipe book” (according to page xvi in the Foreword).It is no such thing.If I want to bake an apple pie, I go to the Table of Contents, I look up apple pie, I turn to that page.You cannot do that in this book.Tim has amazing things to say about meditation. A few guests on his podcast have amazing things to say about meditation (Sam Harris, Naval Ravikant, Kevin Rose, etc.).But there is no central place to which you can turn to find out the collected wisdom of the many guests who have delved into this topic.The same goes for investing. The same goes for particular health hacks.In fact, there’s not even one central place in the book that gives a list of the commonalities between the guests. That’s a HUGE missed opportunity.THE ADVICE:Make a second edition. Soon. It doesn’t even have to add new content. Just tighten this up and make it so that you can read about certain topics in a centralized place. If there are parts that don’t fit, maybe have an author section at the back… but, dang.FINAL THOUGHT:Millionaires become millionaires (in part) because they’ve learned to say “no.” They have the discipline to turn down the good, so that they can pursue (and achieve) the great.This book is just too too too much good. It doesn’t tell you what is great. It will leave you chasing dozens upon dozens of random tactics and thoughts in a dozen different fields.It might teach the tactics and routines and habits of world-class performers, but there’s FAR TOO MUCH here to make it valuable in showing YOU how to achieve those heights. And, if there is ONE person that you could model to become like them in their field… there is FAR TOO LITTLE here to actually help you on your way.

⭐I’ve read so much success literature and most authors managed to squeeze 3 pages into 300.Tim’s work ‘Tools of Titans’ does the opposite and is one of the most – SCRATCH THAT IT IS THE MOST calorically dense advice/insight/tools written works I have ever read.I know some of the ‘Titans’ he references (ex: Tony Robbins – long ago my wife an I used to help volunteer staff his programs) I say this not as ‘Heck yah! I KNOW these guys’ … No, it is in a wonderful way that I can read something about and from someone I know AND STILL COME AWAY WITH A NEW INSIGHT!SO HERE IS MY SELF APPOINTED CHALLENGE:As I read, re-read, jumped around, highlighted, underlined and feel asleep and woke up thinking about all that I found in Tim’s book … I felt had I MUST do this.Background: I have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s from exposure to Agent Orange and/or toxic water from Camp Lejeune. I have had multiple TBI. I have had 21 surgeries and … my cervical spine is exhibiting the same signs as it did prior to my last (and botched) cervical spine surgery. I weigh 292 lbs … though my caloric intake, according to Myfitnesspal dot come should be showing a 1.5 lb/week loss … and yet, I have gained 60 some lbs in the past year.(if you are the impatient type skip the next few paragraphs as this is background info)My local Medical doctors shrug and either tell me ‘Don’t worry about it’ – shorthand for dude, you are so SCREWED that ain’t gonna be what gets ya!’ OR they insist I am overeating despite my willingness to show them my nutrition logs.I even went to Mayo clinic this past June … a process that took 3 months to book. My wife and I sat down with the Doc on my first day and he liked at us like ‘What the ____ are you doing here?” He cleared his throat and said “Well, I’m leaving for Germany in 6 hours to give a speech’ (anyone know german cuss words to describe this ?)So, somewhat discouraged I shuffled down for my blood draw and then went to scheduling to see what tests I had for the rest of my scheduled week.Have you ever watched someone squirm when they have to give you really bad news … but don’t know how to say it? That was my experience watching the Lady at Mayo Clinic assigned to give me my week’s schedule. The poor woman looked like a 2nd grader that had a seriously full bladder squirming in their seat.She kept looking around to see if ANYONE could/would relive her of telling us and on realizing “Nope, i gotta tell this guy to go poo in his hat’ she blurted out “YOUR NEXT APPOINT FOR THIS WEEK IS SCHEDULED FOR …. AUGUST 2ND”That was on Tuesday June 7th. August was a TEENSY BIT LONGER THAN I WAS PREPARED TO SPEND WAITING IN THEIR WAITING ROOM!Bottom line: Traditional Medicine has written me off. Which is fine … as I have written them off too!************** if you were skipping paragraphs please rejoin us here ********************Good people of the Amazonian reading tribe … I have to STRIKE THAT … I MUST DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTOR … I WILL DIE.That is not hyperbole. That is not exaggeration. I believe this to be fact.I placed photos of my scale … and of my medicines (blurry so no label info shows) I take 21 some meds/day. Yes … wayyyy too many! I am a ‘pill-serf’IF DO NOT CHANGE THE PROCESS OF HOW I FEED, CARE FOR AND PROVIDE FOR THIS PHYSICAL BODY I WILL NOT LIKELY INHABIT IT MUCH LONGER.To that end, I pledge I will start blogging and logging my results as I work through Tim’s ‘Tools of Titans’.(Talk about go BIG or go home … yeah? precisely!)The blog will be named That Lonesome Road dot ____ (apologies if Amazon thinks this is promotional, I seek to serve not promote and ask you allow me to do this in a way that meets your standards) and I invite any and all of you to join me as I do my all to save my life and insure my Music does not go to my grave unplayed.I pledge:1. I will be brutally honest.2. If I feel the desire to hold back from fear of ____ … then I know I am on the right path.3. I will keep an honest record and tell you if what I have done works … and if not whether I think I was the reason or no.4. I am doing this to hold myself accountable NOT seek notoriety. If I sound like a pompous jerk please let me know.5. I will do one of the hardest things I rarely do – I will ask for help.6. Though the subject is … well, it ain’t Sunshine and Roses … I pledge to have a sense of humor about this!7. I will say Please; Thank You; I am Sorry; Will be on Time; & Will finish what I start. Genuine good manners, Graciousness, and Accountability are very scarce these days. I pledge I will embody that … or you have my complete permission to take a whiz in my cup of …Thank you Tim for writing this and capturing these insights.Thank you to all who contributed.Thank you to all who read this – I pray it is of service.DS

⭐Are you looking for a way to step up your game and achieve success in your personal and professional life? Look no further than “Tools of Titans”! This book is packed with insights, habits, and strategies from some of the most accomplished people across various fields, including business, sports, entertainment, and more.What I find so valuable about this book is that it includes interviews with these high achievers and they share with us their daily routines and practices, which can be so helpful in figuring out where to focus and make improvements in our own lives.Trust me. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to reach their full potential. It’s well-researched and informative, providing a wealth of knowledge from some of the most successful people. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the best and elevate yourself to new heights.

⭐Folks, I’m an admirer of Tim Ferriss and listen to his podcast with interest and really admire his style of conducting his conversations with his guests. However while a podcast a radio program or perhaps even tv/video program is good format for the kind of content that Tim Ferriss and his guests cover, that certainly is not content worthy of a book – particularly if at the back of it the author does not hesitate to call himself a published author. I have lot of respect for Tim Ferriss as a result of his podcasts and content he’s covered there, but just to take transcripts of those chats and publish as a book doesn’t suit this otherwise worthy/intelligent man.

⭐First Tim Ferris book that I’ve read and I’m honestly struggling to get into it. Very unstructured with him telling you go to page 344 for this and then page 522 to complete it. If you are into trying a new coffee mixed with 9 minutes of breathing techniques followed by stretches and mantras in the morning this is your book. Thought this book would be gold but it doesn’t let you delve into it enough when you find someone or chapter you like. It really is just highlights of the podcast. Also it is rather contradictive between people on what they do/opinions but I suppose it’s to let you compare and try for yourself.Was looking forward to reading more about Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tony Robbins etc but it doesn’t go deep enough into it. Save your money and just focus on the podcasts involving such people that does interest you.Gave up on this book half way through due to the nature of it. I wouldn’t recommend it.Going to try the 4 hour Work Week as it’s his biggest title but surely can’t be worse than this book.

⭐I am a huge fan of Tim Ferris and I really waited for this book to launch in India and the wait is worth it. if you really wanna learn about the mindset of successful people then you must read this. This book not only tells you how to be successful by financial side but it tells you how to be rich in knowledge and health. you can see some personal recommendations by the persons who are at the top level in this field.this book is different from all the other books, this book is not like you can read continuously in a week or so, this book contains podcasts summaries which you can read each day/week and it has sections divided in it. you can read something of where you are a lack in.the best thing I love about this book that it contains personal book recommendation from the peoples whose podcasts are written there.in the end, i just want to say definitely buy and read this book and trust me you gonna love it.

⭐This book was a revelation to me. I had never heard of Tim Ferriss before seeing this book pop up on my recommended list on audible and amazon. And then I kept seeing it! It intrigued me but also seemed like a commitment considering its length. After a little investigation into who this guy was however, I was swallowed down the rabbit hole and got sucked into his podcasts, blog and then finally this book.Ferriss, along with his many companions, has helped me transform my life into a more enjoyable, healthy and productive experience. Before finding all this advice and guidance I was really stuck in a rut. This book, along with all the other resources he offers, helped me finally climb out of it.Firstly, I should say I originally bought Tools of Titans as an audiobook. However, I quickly realised that if I wanted to get the most out of it, absorb the information and really retain it, then I would need to get the physical book. Obviously some people might be capable of doing this whilst listening (I only recently discovered the ‘bookmark’ button on Audible which would certainly have helped in this regard).So, with my physical book in hand, I got stuck in to the first of all 674 pages. It may seem like a lot for a book with no through-line (other than self-improvement I suppose) but I found the key is to take it slowly, and read only a few chapters at a time. Take in what each interviewee is saying and consider it.I also made notes and highlights as I read, which I highly recommend doing.The interviews, in and of themselves, are not going to be life changing for the vast majority of readers, although every once and a while I did come across something I found particularly profound that stuck with me for days or even weeks.But what you get from this book is a glimpse into the insights of the minds of people that have achieved so much and are on a path of success. From this I gathered a greater appreciation for the small, simple steps required to start that journey, and of the habits that need to be nurtured to continue it.Also, this is a fantastic reference and baseline book for anyone who is trying to become better in productivity or self-improvement etc..From this book alone I have discovered so many _other_ resources that have and will help me continue to improve, be it other books, or videos on youtube, podcasts, articles, movies, other people to follow and look into, and much more besides.This isn’t a book you are going to love start to finish. There are definitely parts that didn’t apply to me what-so-ever. It will be the same for every reader unless you happen to have a very intriguing, eclectic lifestyle (good for you!). But as Ferriss himself says at the start, his goal for the book is for readers to like 50%, love 25% and never forget 10%. I think that for most readers, who start with an attitude of willingness and open-mindedness, this will be the case.

⭐I loved this book.But this is not a book for you if you don’t like learning from other people’s mistakes.Its one of those books where you love the disclaimer, forward, index and 600 plus pages of everything.In the disclaimer, Tim Ferris tells you to consult a common sense specialist and not to blindly follow the book.While many topics may be controversial and the advice borderline, what cannot be ignored is the unique nature of the book.There is 111 famous men and women in the book sharing their experience with health, wealth and wisdom.A good chance of standing on the shoulders of giants.Must read if you have plans to make a billion or two(no harm dreaming)!
