Tribe Of Mentors

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 ch ampion 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
