Tim Ferriss will be joined us at Google to talk about his career, books, podcasts, and stoicism. Tim was asked the following questions:
What has been the most important Stoic teaching that I’ve come across?
How do I manage the many requests I receive?
What are the factors or elements that have led to the success of the podcast?
Where do I see myself in five years?
If I could pick three people — alive or dead — to be in my personal board of directors, who would they be?
How do I experiment with my dog training?
What are my recommendations for longevity?
How do I fight insomnia?
And much, much more…

If there is one thing you should not do with monkeys is put them in cages.

Tim Ferris is a confirmed reptillian
Tim Ferriss is one of our modern day sages, a truly enlightened Renaissance person. Unlike to many leaders or spiritual gurus, he is sincere, humble, logical, and practical. You can actually learn and apply what he discusses.
Tim Ferris has a huge head also,but the other guys head is so big nobody even notices it.
I changed my mind Tim Ferris head is just as big or bigger ,it just has hair on it. If my head was that big I would be a genius also. The doctor had to use the jaws of life to pull these big ass head out of their mothers. Shit
That bald guy looks like someone taped his eyebrows on his head .blimp head ass mofo. That test tube baby's head busted the fucking tube damn.battering ram head ass.
That guys head is so big he has stretch marks on his head
I wanna be in that bootcamp!
I think he mentioned Google Plus at 14:35 just for being a nice person
1:12:19 Sounds a little similar to a 10-day vipassana meditation retreat (genders separate, no tech, only two meals a day)
One of the Beat Tim Ferris interviews ever!
Tim is a ?!
Fuck this ugly scam artist. He just says basic shit and thinks he's a god.
He clearly demonstrated his firestorm of humility. Tim is the male equivalent of the super models who used to write books about dieting while eating bags of candy.
Not as good as Augusten Burroughs this guy is too simplistic and pc about goals like Tony Robbins.
Try wearing socks with your sandles ?
Dayum.. the size of that noggin ?
Caging the monkey in your mind will make your life worse. Let the monkey mind countiue to chatter and let it be as it is. You trying to control it is the problem.
Wonderful advice I benefited a lot . Stoic advices fasting , meditations and preparing worst case senario is Islamic and it helps a lot . Tim got it very word he says benefits. Thanks for sharing
Pro tip: Listen to this on low volume while playing mediation music in the background – great white noise and motivation for writing code.
Would Tim Ferriss have the courage to give up everything – give everything away – avoid all the clapping and admiration and fame – live in true poverty whilst trying to help poor people out of poverty? Probably not. Is he a superficial stoic?
First talk I ever listened to and this had knock on effects that have changed my life, thanks Tim you've been a life saver!
Why the birds can stay on the electricity pole, but monkey can't ?
