About Timothy Ferriss
Tim Ferriss has been listed as one of Fast Company‘s ‘Most Innovative Business People’ and one of Fortune‘s ‘40 under 40’. He is an early-stage technology investor/advisor (Uber, Facebook, Shopify, Duolingo, Alibaba, and 50+ others) and the author of four #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers, including The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Body, The 4-Hour Chef and Tools of Titans. The Observer and other media have called Tim ‘the Oprah of audio’ due to the influence of The Tim Ferriss Show podcast, which is the first business/interview podcast to exceed 200 million downloads. Tim received his BA from Princeton University in 2000, where he focused on language acquisition and East Asian Studies. He developed his non-fiction writing with Pulitzer Prize winner John McPhee and formed his life philosophies under Nobel Prize winner Kenzaburo Oe. He is far dumber than both. Tim enjoys bear claws, chocolate croissants, writing ‘About’ pages in third person and neglecting italics.

Titles By Timothy Ferriss
Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan–there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, or earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, The 4-Hour Workweek is the blueprint.
This step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches:
• How Tim went from $40,000 per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per month and 4 hours per week
• How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
• How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
• How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
• How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”
The new expanded edition of Tim Ferriss’ The 4-Hour Workweek includes:
• More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers (including families) who have doubled income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book as a starting point
• Real-world templates you can copy for eliminating e-mail, negotiating with bosses and clients, or getting a private chef for less than $8 a meal
• How Lifestyle Design principles can be suited to unpredictable economic times
• The latest tools and tricks, as well as high-tech shortcuts, for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either
“A practical crash course in how to reinvent yourself.”—Kevin Kelly, Wired
Is it possible to reach your genetic potential in 6 months? Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours? Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing? Indeed, and much more.
The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body using data science. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss fixated on one life-changing question:
For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?
Thousands of tests later, this book contains the answers for both men and women. It’s the wisdom Tim used to gain 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time. From the gym to the bedroom, it’s all here, and it all works.
You will learn (in less than 30 minutes each):
• How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails
• How to prevent fat gain while bingeing over the weekend or the holidays
• How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested
• How to produce 15-minute female orgasms
• How to triple testosterone and double sperm count
• How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks
• How to reverse “permanent” injuries
• How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 50 topics covered, all with real-world experiments, many including more than 200 test subjects. You don't need better genetics or more exercise. You need immediate results that compel you to continue.
That’s exactly what The 4-Hour Body delivers.
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.”
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 these pages 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
A veces fracasamos. A veces nos sentimos perdidos. A veces, cuando terminamos la universidad, tenemos la crisis de la mediana edad, los hijos se van de casa o nos jubilamos, sentimos ansiedad. ¿Qué vamos a hacer ahora? ¿Y cómo?
Tim Ferriss, autor de bestsellers como La semana laboral de 4 horas y Armas de titanes e inversor en empresas como Uber, Facebook y Twitter, se encontró en una situación así y decidió rodearse de una «tribu de mentores». Formuló a decenas de emprendedores famosos, deportistas de élite, inversores millonarios y escritores de éxito algunas preguntas clave que pueden mejorar tu vida: ¿Qué libros les habían inspirado? ¿Qué hábitos les hacían mejores? ¿Qué fracasos les enseñaron lecciones que luego les hicieron triunfar? ¿A qué rarezas de su carácter no estaban dispuestos a renunciar? ¿Qué pequeña inversión les había hecho más felices?
Las respuestas a estas y otras preguntas son adictivas. Constituyen pequeñas lecciones que encapsulan la sabiduría cotidiana, y que abren caminos para lograr resultados extraordinarios y sacar partido a nuestro recurso más escaso: el tiempo.
Wer sich mit den wichtigsten Fragen des Lebens auseinandersetzt, sucht oftmals nach Rat – gerade in Situationen, wo alles gegen einen zu laufen scheint. Tim Ferriss, viermaliger #1-Bestsellerautor, hat mehr als 100 Mentoren ausfindig gemacht, die ihm geholfen haben und jedem helfen können, dem eigenen Leben die richtige Richtung zu geben. In kurzen, energiegeladenen Porträts enthüllt Ferriss die Geheimnisse der Mentoren für Erfolg, Glück und den Sinn des Lebens. Egal, wie groß die Herausforderungen sind, denen man sich stellen muss, oder die Chancen, die man ergreifen will, jeder wird auf diesen Seiten etwas finden, das ihm dabei hilft.
Nach "Die 4-Stunden-Woche" und "Tools der Titanen" erscheint mit "Tools der Mentoren" der neue Bestseller von Silicon-Valley-Legende Tim Ferriss. Erstmals sprechen die besten Weltklassesportler, Ikonen und Legenden unserer Zeit über Erfolg, Glück und den Sinn des Lebens.
– Die wichtigsten Lektionen von absoluten Elite-Athleten wie Maria Sharapova, Kelly Slater oder Tony Hawk
– Die Meditations- und Achtsamkeitsübungen von David Lynch, Jimmy Fallon oder Rick Rubin
– Die Taktiken von Neil Gaiman, Ashton Kutcher, Bear Grylls, Joseph Gordon-Levitt und vielen anderen
– Die drei Bücher, die Investoren-Legende Ray Dalio jedem empfiehlt
Entre muchas otras cosas, descubrirás:
- Cómo optimizar tus mañanas con la rutina de Tony Robbins
- Cómo consigue el mago de Hollywood Robert Rodríguez convertir sus debilidades en puntos fuertes
- Cómo usa Arnold Schwarzenegger la guerra psicológica
- Cómo pasar a la ofensiva en tu vida como hace el inversor millonario Chris Sacca
- Cómo hacer preguntas al estilo del superventas Malcolm Gladwell
- Cómo desatar tu potencial creativo como el escritor Paulo Coelho
Pero no todos los protagonistas del libro son famosos, también se encuentran científicos, militares, aventureros, empresarios, pensadores creativos e investigadores, entre otras profesiones, que en estas páginas nos enseñan a ser más ricos, más sabios y a estar más sanos.
Lições de vida, táticas e ferramentas para alcançar sucesso, produtividade e reconhecimento
Tim Ferriss, autor best-seller do The New York Times, já entrevistou mais de 200 convidados no The Tim Ferriss Show, podcast que ultrapassou a marca de 200 milhões de downloads. Celebridades como Arnold Schwarzenegger, investidores como Ben Horowitz, atletas lendários, oficiais do Comando de Operações Especiais dos Estados Unidos e até cientistas estão entre os titãs que passaram pelo programa.
Despois de dois anos de entrevistas, Tim decidiu reunir em um livro as conversas e as respostas a perguntas como: O que você faz na primeira hora depois de acordar?; Qual é sua rotina de exercícios?; Quais são as maiores perdas de tempo para os novatos em sua área de atuação?; Que suplementos você toma?.
Depois de testar e aplicar na própria rotina todas as dicas dos entrevistados, o autor garante que as ferramentas o salvaram de anos de esforços desperdiçados e frustração. E agora, as melhores táticas — que ajudaram Tim a dobrar sua renda, flexibilidade e felicidade — estão disponíveis em Ferramentas dos titãs.
Warum arbeiten wir uns eigentlich zu Tode? Haben wir nichts Besseres zu tun? Und ob! - sagt Timothy Ferriss. Der junge Unternehmer war lange Workaholic mit 80-Stunden-Woche. Doch dann erfand er MBA - Management by Absence - und ist seitdem freier, reicher, glücklicher. Mit viel Humor, provokanten Denkanstößen und erprobten Tipps erklärt Ferriss, wie sich die 4-Stunden-Woche bei vollem Lohnausgleich verwirklichen lässt. Der Wegweiser für eine Flucht aus dem Hamsterrad und ein Manifest für eine neue Gewichtung zwischen Leben und Arbeiten.
Imprenditore seriale e ultravagabondo, per sua stessa definizione, Ferriss ha impiegato cinque anni per studiare le abitudini dei Neo Ricchi, ovvero di quel curioso gruppo umano che ha abbandonato un «piano di vita differita» (lavoro da schiavop risparmioppensione) per vivere alla grande grazie alla nuova, fortissima valuta: il tempo e la mobilità. Ha carpito i loro segreti, e oggi è il Neo Ricco più famoso d’America, conteso dalle più prestigiose università americane, da Princeton a Harvard. La sua ricetta è per tutti, la sua ricetta è in queste pagine.
Che tu sia un dipendente schiacciato da un orario fisso o un libero imprenditore fagocitato nella tua stessa attività, questo libro è una bussola per orientarti in un mondo nuovo e rivoluzionario. Qui e ora. Segui il «guru della settimana di 4 ore» e saprai come
> convincere chi sta sopra di te ad apprezzare più l’efficacia che la presenza
> delegare tutte le decisioni irrilevanti (ma anche quelle rilevanti monetizzando l’eventuale danno)
> evitare situazioni sprecatempo (per es. riunioni che non producono decisioni entro mezz’ora)
> coltivare «l’ignoranza selettiva» (pochi giornali, tv, web; e-mail una volta alla settimana)
> usare la tecnologia per ridurre gli impegni, non per centuplicarli
> inserire il pilota automatico alle tue entrate
> gestire da lontano (anche da lontanissimo) i tuoi affari
Metti alla prova il suo metodo: la felicità è a portata di mano.
TIM FERRISS
"In den letzten zwei Jahren habe ich beinahe 200 Weltklasse-Performer interviewt. Die Bandbreite der Gäste reicht von Stars (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger) und Topathleten bis hin zu legendären Kommandanten von Spezialeinheiten und sogar Schwarzmarkt-Biochemikern. Viele meiner Gäste akzeptierten erstmals in ihrer Karriere ein Zwei-bis-drei-Stunden-Interview. Dieses Buch enthält unverzichtbare Tools, Taktiken und Insiderwissen, die anderswo nicht zu finden sind, außerdem neue Tipps von früheren Gästen und Lebensweisheiten neuer Gäste, die du noch nicht kennst."
Was das Buch so außergewöhnlich macht, ist der unablässige Fokus auf leicht umsetzbare Details:
- Was tun diese Titanen in den ersten 60 Minuten an jedem Morgen?
- Wie sieht ihre Trainingsroutine aus und warum?
- Welches Buch haben sie am häufigsten an andere Menschen verschenkt?
- Was betrachten sie als die größten Zeitverschwender?
- Welche Nahrungsergänzungsmittel nehmen sie täglich?
"Alles, was du auf diesen Seiten liest, habe ich in meinem Leben bereits auf die eine oder andere Weise angewandt. Ich habe Dutzende der dargestellten Taktiken bei kritischen Verhandlungen, in riskanter Umgebung oder bei großen Deals eingesetzt. Die Lektionen haben mir zu Millionen von Dollar verholfen und mich vor Jahren verschwendeter Bemühungen und Frustration bewahrt."
