Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life.
This is a special inbetweenisode, which serves as a recap of the episodes from last month. It features a short clip from each conversation in one place so you can easily jump around to get a feel for the episode and guest.
See it as a teaser. Something to whet your appetite. If you like what you hear, you can of course find the full episodes below or at tim.blog/podcast.
Please enjoy!

Comment Rules: Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That's how we're gonna be — cool. Critical is fine, but if you're rude, we'll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Brian Oberkirch for the inspiration.)
The thought from the interview with Arthur C Brooks that I had a need to contemplate was his question, ” what would you be willing to die for”. I felt the question lacked substance despite its mortal connotation. I will say I enjoyed the date of the podcast in relationship to that question. There was a lot of people answering that question for themselves that day. Anyway,
… if you’re willing to die for an idea, somebody has to be willing to kill you because you held that idea or you’re dying due to a faulty idea like all mushrooms are edible, right?
To theoretically be willing to die for someone,
Then what? Id one supposed to have an improved appreciation for the people you’re willing to die for? Are you supposed to rank your family members in accordance to your willingness?
Felt the exercise was bollocks; I would appreciate a summary of its value explained to me in a way that someone who never applied to Harvard could understand. I don’t get it.
Grazie
PS. You should have an episode where your audience recommends single people to you as a dating game. That would be hysterical. There are meditations that pull your partner into your orbit, btw. Prior to that you have to make sure you’re done with the wrong ones, maya can be fun. Ha.
The Tim Ferriss Show is an absolute gem! Tim’s ability to engage with guests and extract valuable insights is truly remarkable
