#1 New York Times Bestseller

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, thebest-selling author ofThe 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.
