    About this ebook

    "Tool of Titans is the latest groundbreaking book from Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek.  The book is subtitled, "The Tactics, Routines, And Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class performers".

    This is the by-product of over 200 interviews of billionaires, icons, legends, elite athletes, movie stars, and world-class performers, world-class performers from his podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show.

    What to expect from this book?

    "Tool" is defined broadly in this book. It includes routines, books, common self-talk, supplements, favorite questions, and much more.

    – Tim Ferriss

    Expect to see a lot of quotes, common habits and recommendations, new tips and life lessons from 'Titans' featured in this book. This book is much more than a compilation of quotes and life lessons. It is a toolkit for changing your life, and most of all, be successful. Everything in the book has been explored and applied by the author himself, in some fashion. As the author says, "They work when you need them most."

    Some tools are obvious at first glance, while others are subtle and will really ring through your senses.

    At the end of the book, the valuable nuggets and words of wisdom you learned from the Titans should motivate you to take action, increase your productivity, change your perceptions about life and success.

    What not to expect from this book?

    Don't expect it to solve all your problems. Yes, it is meant to inspire but don't expect that everything that worked for other people will also work for you. If you think a certain tool, which worked for a Titan is not fitting for you, feel free to skip to the next Titan featured here. Don't forget that it is completely different for every person. This is why the book is NOT presented in a linear way. It allows you to read what catches your attention and skip the ones that do not apply to your situation.

    Don't expect a quick fix for your problem. This book may not change your life overnight. Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. Like any other self-help book, it is only going to help if you're willing to put in the work.

    Who would benefit from this book?

    Honestly, this book applies to everyone. There is so much gold and nuggets here that everyone can take advantage of. This book is not meant only for the businessmen, investors, athletes, professionals and other high-profilers. This is generally created to benefit even the most common people in the world – if one is willing to take action and apply whatever tools will work for oneself.

    If you're interested in learning past and new strategies used by some of the world's most successful people, then this is the right book for you.

      Introduction

      "Tool of Titans is the latest groundbreaking book from Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek.  The book is subtitled, The Tactics, Routines, And Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class performers.

      This is the by-product of over 200 interviews of billionaires, icons, legends, elite athletes, movie stars, and world-class performers, world-class performers from his podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show.

      Before we dive into the summary of the book, let us answer a few questions that might be lurking at the back of your mind right now.

      Who is Tim Ferris?

      Tim Ferriss is a 39 -year-old American author, entrepreneur, and public speaker. He is the author of the bestselling book, The 4-Hour Workweek . He has written self-help books on the 4-hour theme: The 4-Hour Workweek , The 4-Hour Body , and The 4-Hour Chef. He also produces and hosts popular podcasts. His podcast focuses on deconstructing world-class performers, who are featured in this book.

      Tim Ferris is one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Business People and one of Forbes ’s Names You Need to Know.

      Why did Tim write this book?

      "Something that could help me in minutes but be read for a lifetime."

      – Tim Ferriss

      Actually, Tim never meant to publish it at first. He meant to put together this ultimate CliffsNotes for himself. He calls his book my ultimate notebook of high-leverage tools, for myself. He claims the lessons and strategies in the book changed his life. Now, he wants to share those tools with the world and hope that the same happens to every reader.

      He traveled to Paris when he wrote this 600-pages book. He set aside one month to review all the lessons he learned from nearly 200 world-class performers he had interviewed on his show, The Tim Ferriss Show.

      In this book, here are the two concepts he wants to convey, at its core:

      Success, however you define it, is achievable if you collect the right field-tested beliefs and habits.

      Highly successful people have different approaches to solving a problem. Most likely, someone has already done your version of ‘success’ before, and usually, not only one people travelled the path already. But how about a first? A path not yet travelled? There are still recipes. Find someone who defied the word ‘impossible’ and borrow the secret sauce to success.

      The superheroes you have in your mind (idols, icons, titans, billionaires, etc.) are nearly all walking flaws who’ve maximized 1 or 2 strengths.

      You don’t succeed because you have no weaknesses; you succeed because you find your unique strengths and focus on developing habits around them.

      What to expect from this book?

      "T ool" is defined broadly in this book. It includes routines, books, common self-talk, supplements, favorite questions, and much more.

      – Tim Ferriss

      Expect to see a lot of quotes, common habits and recommendations, new tips and life lessons from ‘Titans’ featured in this book. This book is much more than a compilation of quotes and life lessons. It is a toolkit for changing your life, and most of all, be successful. Everything in the book has been explored and applied by the author himself, in some fashion. As the author says, They work when you need them most.

      Some tools are obvious at first glance, while others are subtle and will really ring through your senses.

      At the end of the book, the valuable nuggets and words of wisdom you learned from the Titans should motivate you to take action, increase your productivity, change your perceptions about life and success.

      What not to expect from this book?

      Don’t expect it to solve all your problems. Yes, it is meant to inspire but don’t expect that everything that worked for other people will also work for you. If you think a certain tool, which worked for a Titan is not fitting for you, feel free to skip to the next Titan featured here. Don’t forget that it is completely different for every person.
