One of the books I selected to read during January 2018 was Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World written by Tim Ferriss. As I listen to The Tim Ferriss Show, where he interviews world-class guests, I wanted to have some of that wisdom in written form. This book did not disappoint. Read more I am not the target audience for this book. I am 65 and retired so 90% of the advice offered in this book by various mentors (business executives, authors, entrepreneurs etc.) was not for me. I am past being concerned about business or life planning. However, there is some good advice on strategies on planning your career, books to read, productive tools to buy, how to say "No" and people to follow. It's a big book and admittingly I picked and choosed among the mentors to check out their advice. Summary: 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. Another great book from Tim Ferriss. This has lots of short advice about life from successful people from all walks of life. Its a smorgasbord – you can open it randomly and learn something new. It follows on from his podcast and the Tools of Titans – another great book. Many of his podcast questions are answered by people who haven’t been on the podcast. no reviews | add a review

HTML: Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, shares the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure bookâ??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. 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 No library descriptions found. |

In this book, you'll read people's answers to the same 10 questions. You will quickly see the same thoughts, insecurities, pain points and ways to refocus that "successful" people use and have. It only reinforces that the path is riddled with ups and downs. Everyone goes through it. I will be returning to this book over and over again. ( )
