Publisher's summary

Tim Ferriss, the number-one 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 this audiobook 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

Too much wisdom in just one place

This book helped me out to create great habits in my daily life, and inspire me deeply, it's like reading tens of books. I'm so glad Tim Ferriss was able to put so much wisdom from so many people available for anybody.

Amazing collection of truly helpful wisdom

A treasure trove of practical insights and inspiring stories from extraordinary achievers. Tim Ferriss does it again!

Great listen for the morning commute

easy listen.

Life changing read

Truly an amazing book. I was given this by a friend and when I saw that it was an 18 hour book I was skeptical. I’ve just completed it and it provides so many wonderful things to think about that are right in front of your nose but you never see them. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new start or improving upon whatever stage in life they are in.

So much great information!

It took me awhile to get through this book because I kept pausing to take notes or add another book recommendation to my wish list, but it was well worth the time spent!! I took a lot from the book itself, and there’s no telling how much I’ll learn from the book recommendations!! Definitely buy this one!

Awesome

Ferriss thank you for this awesome insight. Thank you. Full of inspiration. Ferriss is with double s.

One of the best books ever!

It is full of invaluable advice from extraordinary people who have faced the same challenges all of us face to grow personally and professionally. I liked it so much that I want to get it in print, highlight it and revisit it periodically. A+

So many awesome things

So many amazing shares from the bests in the world!!❤️ You don’t have to take them all in. Take what work best for you and for your personality.

Good book-especially if you know many of the interviewees

Good storytelling and vocal aspects

Only truly valuable if you are interested in the people being interviewed. Advice from someone you don’t know or aren’t wanting to learn more about means the advice won’t likely be internalized.
