Tools of Titans
Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss is a compendium of quotes, habits, and knowledge from world-class performers from virtually every arena. I read it on my Kindle but will be buying the book in the near future, because as the author himself suggests, it’s a great source of reference, whether it be wisdom, motivation, or perspective you seek. The book is a series of excerpts from Tim’s podcast interviews, and is divided into 3 parts: healthy, wealthy, and wise. There’s some great nutrition and lifting insight in the healthy section, if you’re into those particular domains. The wealthy segment proved very inspiring, not in terms of getting rich, but in generating value for the world, in contributing something to humanity. And the last section reads as a poignant reassurance that everything will be okay, that we are all human, and to enjoy the most precious commodity we own—time. I would highly recommend a perusal of Tools of Titans, as there’s probably something powerful inside for just about everyone, no matter who you are. With so many varying points of view on offer, the most important lesson from its pages may simply be: consider why you want what you do, determine what works for you, and strike as great a balance as you can between getting after that, and enjoying the ride.
