Tim Ferriss follows up from his last bestseller, Tools of Titans, with another chart topping non-fiction title, Tribe of Mentors. This book is both easy to read and incredibly informative.
So a bit of background first; Tim is the author of The Four Hour Work Week, The Four Hour Body and The Four Hour Chef (all also good purchases). He is the presenter of the Tim Ferriss Show podcast in which he interviews some of the world’s greatest talents in their respective fields. He is also has been an angel investor in many companies.
In Tribe of Mentors Tim asks the same handful of questions to over 130 of the worlds top performers. Some have been his podcast guests, others are totally new. Included in the contributors are Neil Strauss, Tim Urban, Maria Sharapova, Bear Grylls, Jocko Willink, Neil Gaiman, the list goes on and on. These repeated questions to the best in the world allow you to dip in and out easily. A five minute read here and there, a perfect commuter book. The cover is cool too.
The various interviewees give their responses and allow you to see trends, ideas and inspiration. Their social media details are included for you to follow as you wish. Whilst this book might not change your life, it will give you plenty to think about and it may make you change something about your life.
It’s a perfect gift for readers and non-readers alike.
Your local bookstore and airport will have copies of Tribe of Mentors, Amazon have print and kindle versions available.
