The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek.

From the author:

“For the last two years, I’ve interviewed more than 200 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, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview. This unusual depth has helped make The Tim Ferriss Show the first business/interview podcast to pass 100 million downloads.

“This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and ‘inside baseball’ you won’t find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new ‘guests’ you haven’t 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 don’t view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I can’t test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, I’m not interested.

“Everything within these pages has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. I’ve 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. It’s changed my life, and I hope the same for you.”

Huge fan is disappointed

ByD. Pattersonon December 9, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Tim, if you're reading this, I have a great idea for you at the end of this review. No sarcasm, no snark.

DISCLAIMER: I am a Tim Ferriss apologist. I've listened to almost every episode of his podcast. Own his books. Have been following him since 4 Hour Work Week came out.

Tim's podcast has rewired my brain. My life is measurably better because of what I've learned. Literally. I have hereditary cholesterol problems and my forays into a ketogenic lifestyle dropped my particle count from ~1950 to ~1225. There are many other great things that have come as a result of my exposure to Tim's podcast, too many to list here.

When he announced TOOLS OF TITANS, I was ecstatic. I pre-ordered this book in September.

I'm sad to say that I'm non-plussed, borderline disappointed.

On one hand, I love having a "totem" of something that has changed my life so profoundly. To that end, I am happy to own the book.

On the other hand, it does not deliver on its promise. This is supposedly a "recipe book" (according to page xvi in the Foreword).

It is no such thing.

If I want to bake an apple pie, I go to the Table of Contents, I look up apple pie, I turn to that page.

You cannot do that in this book.

Tim has amazing things to say about meditation. A few guests on his podcast have amazing things to say about meditation (Sam Harris, Naval Ravikant, Kevin Rose, etc.).

But there is no central place to which you can turn to find out the collected wisdom of the many guests who have delved into this topic.

The same goes for investing. The same goes for particular health hacks.

In fact, there's not even one central place in the book that gives a list of the commonalities between the guests. That's a HUGE missed opportunity.

THE ADVICE:

Make a second edition. Soon. It doesn't even have to add new content. Just tighten this up and make it so that you can read about certain topics in a centralized place. If there are parts that don't fit, maybe have an author section at the back... but, dang.

FINAL THOUGHT:
Millionaires become millionaires (in part) because they've learned to say "no." They have the discipline to turn down the good, so that they can pursue (and achieve) the great.

This book is just too too too much good. It doesn't tell you what is great. It will leave you chasing dozens upon dozens of random tactics and thoughts in a dozen different fields.

It might teach the tactics and routines and habits of world-class performers, but there's FAR TOO MUCH here to make it valuable in showing YOU how to achieve those heights. And, if there is ONE person that you could model to become like them in their field... there is FAR TOO LITTLE here to actually help you on your way.

Valuable but lacks sttucture

ByAnthony L. Butleron December 9, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In Tools of Titans, Tim grabbed some of the best of his podcast and moved it into print. But the content is missing real structure and is mixed with silly nonsense that is meant to be funny but misses the mark such as favorite spirit animals and his useless billboard question. There are some golden nuggets in here and they are worth going after, I just had to work a little harder than I wanted. It was worth the price especially after 200+free episodes of the podcast which I enjoy every week.

READ THIS BOOK, DO NOT DELAY -- CHOOSE ENLIGHTENMENT OVER IGNORANCE

ByJosh Rogerson February 7, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I would count myself as one of Tim's original "raving 1000 fans" but that does not compromise my objectivity. Having studied philosophy and the Great Books at St. John's College and then later becoming an entrepreneur in the financial services business, I feel have a unique perspective to confidently say that Tim Ferriss is the closest thing to the Montaigne of our age. This book, more than his others, exhibits the broad range of Tim's interests and insights. It shows that he is becoming more philosophical about what it means to live a well lived life. He is getting a little older, and for sure a lot wiser. His tone in this book reflects a little more softness and perhaps even artistic approach to life. His hard edges of the past are filed down by his interviews with the likes of Maria Popova and Sam Harris. Don't be deterred by the physical size of the book, it is written in an extremely readable manner that allows you to breeze through it quite fast. The salient notes that he has taken from his interviews of world class performers had be underlining and dog earring almost every page. I took 10 pages of notes myself on Evernote while reading this book it was so incredibly helpful and insightful. This book will change your life for the substantially better. Not reading this book would be the equivalent of actively choosing ignorance over enlightenment. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Tim deserves all good fortune that flows to him because he has given so much knowledge to so many. I wish him nothing but prosperity and to keep sharing and teaching.

Just the Cliff Notes version of his podcast

ByMom of Twoon January 13, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I already listen to his podcast which means there isn't much new represented in the book. I felt like this was just summarizing what was on the podcast, especially with a marketing bent that all guests were above average. If you don't already follow the podcast, you may find this book too dry to read. If you do follow the podcast, you've already heard this stuff.

A big book that is perfect in little chunks!

ByAndrew Chapmanon March 15, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book stays in my living room, and I pick it up from time to time for a quick read. I absolutely love it... but then again, I'm biased in favor of Tim Ferriss, having discovered him by reading his "Four-Hour Work Week" 10 years ago. (Can it really be 10 years now???) Anyhow, this book features bits and pieces from his interviews with dozens of top people in their respective fields — the range is tremendous, from actors to entrepreneurs to musicians and more. The nuggets within, as well as Ferriss's commentary, are simply excellent. Like I said, it is the perfect book to just pick up and catch a bit of advice or wisdom as needed.

Bonus points: Somehow, despite being hardcover and nearly 700 pages, this book only weighs a couple pounds. It's like it defies gravity, like the song in "Wicked." (Okay... yes, I know it's the choice of cover and paper stock, but it's still amazing that it weighs so little when it looks like it'll be useful for body-building.)

Phone it in Tim...

ByDamnatronon March 4, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The good part is there are lots (LOTS!) of tiny (3-5 pages) sections for each person so it is fun to quickly go through. It is like breadth first search I guess. So it can lead you to investigate lots of topics.

But there is no real meat to most of the interviews. And the work doesn't hold together well as a whole.

Seems like he phoned it in on this one honestly.
