by Tim Ferriss: Bestselling Author, Human Guinea Pig
Tim Ferriss is a self-experimenter and bestselling author, best known for The 4-Hour Workweek, which has been translated into 40+ languages. Newsweek calls him "the world's best human guinea pig," and The New York Times calls him "a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk." In this show, he deconstructs world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, chess, pro sports, etc.), digging deep to find the tools, tactics, and tricks that listeners can use.

The show never disappoints. Often guests or topics I’ve never heard about are the most interesting to learn and realize how they connect to life in interesting ways. Fantastic show and Tim’s questions are always so well crafted.
I have followed Tim for decades and all his books are on our shelves. Lately though it feels like there are A) soooo many ads and B) it feels a lot like Tim needs to put his guests into the context of his own achievements. He’s done a lot for sure, but we all know that. Please stop trying to one up your guests by telling your own stories. We love you but we know you and we also want to hear from your guests and celebrate them.
Tim’s interview style is 11/10, and seems to always ask questions that I’m literally thinking about with his guests. But he also has an uncanny ability to dive deeply into things I would never have even thought about. I’m naturally very curious about all things and his range of topics, while revolving around a central theme is just extraordinary. One of my top 2 or 3 go-to podcasts, no matter who the guest is or the topic at hand. They’re all so good.
Been listening to Tim’s podcast for years, but have never reviewed. My wife and I listened to the interview with Arthur Brooks, and I have subsequently listened to it three more times. I’ve listened to thousands of podcasts on wellness, top performance and biohacking. This one is a bell ringer. So good. Well done Tim and Arthur. My life is richer because of your work. Thank you!
