Popular Highlights in this book

What are popular highlights?

Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask. After all, conscious thinking is largely asking and answering questions in your own head. If you want confusion and heartache, ask vague questions. If you want uncommon clarity and results, ask uncommonly clear questions.

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.

Tim Ferris is a genius

Reviewed in Australia on 24 May 2018

I have read a lot of Tim Ferris and listening to a lot of his podcasts, and Tribe of Mentors is my favorite of the lot.

The structure of the interview questions (deservedly) has its own chapter and it's clear Tim spent significant time working out which questions would result in answers to maximise knowledge and tips to readers. Tools of Titans is a bit all over the place, but this book is far more structured.

I have got several great life tips, hacks and recommendations that I've now bought into my life. It's hard to read cover to cover, but once you pick it up you can easily get through countless interviewees. It's great reading when you're looking for inspiration!

Wonderful resource

Reviewed in Australia on 14 October 2018

I have long been a fan of nearly all things Tim. This wonderful book looks out at an astonishing array of highly accomplished people for the kinds of insights they are willing to share. At first, I suspected that Tim was “phoning it in” with this book after the ambitious and not )by his standards) wildly successful Four Hour Chef. My thought, was that it was a cute extra way to monetise his Podcast. But I was wrong. It contains so much generous wisdom, that I am left in gratitude for Tim Ferris’s work once again. Just humbled and grateful. I’ll be revisiting this a lot.

What an awesome book. If you are just looking for that little bit of inspiration, spark of advice or snippet that will open yourself to a new idea or even paradigm shift... this book may well get you there. This is the perfect book to take with you, when you want to take a 20 minute break and have a cup of coffee. Small chapters and incredible insights from highly successful people.

Thoroughly recommend

Tim Ferriss (two R’s, two S’s) has changed my life more than any other author (or other human) and I am a voracious reader. You will not regret getting this book.

recently during a time of great upheaval for me

Reviewed in Australia on 11 May 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought tribe of mentors, recently during a time of great upheaval for me, thinking hey some input and ideas from 'great mentors' could be of help. It was the opposite apart from a few people. 130 mentors and their advice were displayed about 4 were useful, I remembered Tom Peters of in search of excellence fame as one of them. Four out of 130 a hit rate of 3%.
However, it was useful as a cultural research tool. As an Australian, therapist, chaplain, poet looking aghast at contemporary situation of shame and shadow, in the US political sphere, it was telling.
It was a throw together of the podcasting, twitter,hyped up view of the personal "success paradigm" at any cost. Almost none of the "mentors" displayed any sense of care or kindness for their fellow men or society. Tom Peters was one exception. I am a mentor and like to think that qualities of wisdom, heart and compassion are important. Not at all to the exclusion of skill, competitive and productive but a good balance of both.
A great metaphor is to see the froth and bubble of the ocean's waves as the superficial aspects of life and the calm depths of the sea as the home of wisdom and peace. This book is predominately froth and bubble, trapped in the head, endless intellectual wrestling matches, ego and success on a superficial and materialistic plane. I read many many books each year and have never written a review before. This so-called best seller frightened me about where things are going especially in the US sphere. To put this book out as a guide is a really scary thing, the king has no clothes call it out. Paddy

I didn’t want to read the book at first because the size discouraged me but when I started I saw what the hype was all about because so far reading this book has thought me some good lessons that I believe would help me for the rest of my life.

Esté libro nos ayuda a ver por medio de 11 preguntas como es que diferentes personalidades han llegado al éxito en sus distintas ramas, creo que es de suma importancia tener el libro ya que nunca podríamos tener al alcance a estas personalidades juntas en un solo libro y que mejor que contándonos sus formas de llegar al éxito de manera breve y amena.
