#557: Q&A with Tim — Tools for Better Sleep, Musings on Parenting, the Different Roles of Fear, the Delight of Deepening Friendships, the Purpose of College, How to Boost Your Mood, HRV Training, and More

Q&A with Tim — Tools for Better Sleep, Musings on
Parenting, the Different Roles of Fear, the Delight of Deepening
Friendships, the Purpose of College, How to Boost Your Mood, HRV
Training, and More  | Brought to you
by Athletic
Greens all-in-one nutritional
supplement, GiveWell.org charity
research and effective
giving, and Eight
Sleep’s Pod Pro Cover sleeping solution for
dynamic cooling and heating. More on all three
below.


Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss
Show, where it is usually my job to sit down with
world-class performers of all different types to tease out the
habits, routines, favorite books, and so on that you can apply
and test in your own life. This time, we have a slightly
different format, and I’m the guest.


As some of you know, I tested a “fan-supported model” in 2019,
but I ended up returning to ads by request. That’s a long story,
and you can read more about it
at tim.blog/podcastexperiment. I recently sat down with the
supporter group for a fun and live Q&A on YouTube.


I answered questions on plantar fasciitis relief, manga-assisted
language learning and retention, breathing exercises, wolf
conservation, parenting ambitions, VR therapy, mood and energy
remedies, post-pandemic social reintroduction, the value of
college, favorite wrestling movies, and much, much more.


Please enjoy!


This episode is brought to you
by Athletic
Greens. I get asked all the time,
“If you could only use one supplement, what would it be?” My
answer is usually AG1
by Athletic Greens, my all-in-one nutritional
insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010
and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense
meals, of course, but AG further covers my bases with
vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that
support gut health and the immune system. 


Right now, Athletic
Greens is offering you their Vitamin D
Liquid Formula free with your first subscription
purchase—a vital nutrient for a strong immune system and
strong
bones. Visit AthleticGreens.com/Tim to
claim this special offer today and receive the free Vitamin D
Liquid Formula (and five free travel packs) with your first
subscription purchase! That’s up to a one-year
supply of Vitamin D as added value when you try their delicious
and comprehensive all-in-one daily greens product.
