The must-read analysis of the key insights from "Tribe Of Mentors" by Tim Ferriss — presented by Athena. 130-plus high-achievers — from the co-founder of Facebook to Jimmy Fallon — offer their expertise and input on how they set priorities, met challenges and rose to the heights they have. Self-help guru Tim Ferriss exploded onto the A-list in 2007 with the publication of his bestselling The 4-Hour Work Week. In that book, Ferris promised to show CEOs and employees alike how they could reduce the time spent working while increasing their wealth. He’s since published four more books and launched a podcast, in which he interviews experts at the top of their fields and that he claims has been downloaded more than 400 million times. Ferris built his brand on showing others how to make life simpler and easy — offering life hacks for everything from sleep to sexual performance. Tribe of Mentors is something of a departure. Released a decade after his breakthrough bestseller, he wrote it after a particularly tough year, when he lost several close friends, hit a milestone birthday and was beset by big life questions about his goals and place in the world. His search for answers led him to seek advice from more than 100 “top performers,” including athletes, actors, chefs, hedge fund managers, entrepreneurs and more. He sent each person the same 11 questions — among them: “How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?” and “In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?” The 600-page book gathers their answers — advice from a tribe of mentors Ferriss assembled to help inspire readers to be their best selves.
