Talking with Titans: A visit with Tim Ferriss reveals the tactics, routines, and habits of billionaires, icons, and world-class performers

If you’re going to succeed in anything, if you’re going to take
your life to another level and make a real breakthrough, then you
need strategies. Whether it is in your relationship, your career,
your health, your finances, your happiness – you need to know how
to make the shift. Tony Robbins has spent the majority of his
life looking for the strategies that bring the quickest results,
in the shortest amount of time with the most enjoyment and the
least amount of pain. And one of the most powerful strategies he
has discovered is modeling.


 


Success leaves clues. If someone is consistently successful, they
aren’t just lucky, they have a strategy that works. And if you
study them, you can figure out what it is, and you can learn and
adopt their patterns and save yourself decades of trial and
error. This modeling strategy is so powerful, that it has become
the lifeblood of some of the most accomplished people in the
world, including Tim Ferriss.


 


Tim has been listed as one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative
Business People,” one of Forbes’ “Names You Need to Know,” and
one of Fortune’s “40 under 40.” He is an early-stage technology
investor and advisor (including Uber, Facebook, Shopify,
Duolingo, Alibaba), and the author of three #1 New York Times and
Wall Street Journal bestsellers: The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour
Body and The 4-Hour Chef. His podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, has
exceeded 100 million downloads and was selected for “Best of
iTunes in 2015” and helped set the stage for his latest book,
Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of
Billionaires, Icons and World-Class Performers.


 


Tools of Titans 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” – from their morning/evening rituals, daily habits
and workout regimens to their core beliefs, values and
perspectives. Yet Tim doesn’t merely relay the information, he
has taken it, vetted, explored and experimented with it in
various situations to yield this 600+ page tome full of
high-leverage tools that could completely change your life.


 


In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, Tony sits down with
Tim Ferriss to discuss the evolution of this book and what Tim
has discovered about himself during the process. They delve into
the power of good questions, building on your strengths and
shedding your limiting beliefs. They examine pattern recognition,
internal synthesis, and what it means to cultivate happiness.
They explore some of the greatest tips, tools and tactics Tim has
learned from people like Peter Thiel, Chris Sacca and Peter
Diamandis. And they have a candid discussion about coping with
the darker periods of life, and how Tim’s perspective on his
life’s mission has changed over the years.
