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.

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.

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)!

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.

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.
