The best from “Tribe of Mentors”

Back in 2017, Tim Ferriss put together a fantastic book titled “ Tribe of Mentors “. I say that he “put together” rather than “wrote” the book, because 95% of the content of the book are answers to questions that he collected from other people.

All told, Tim asked 11 questions to roughly 130 people and shared the results in the book. Here are the questions that he asked:

1. What book have you given most as a gift, and why?
2. What purchase of $100 or less has most positively impacted your life in recent memory?
3. How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
4. If you could have a billboard anywhere with anything on it, what would it say and why?
5. What is the best or most worthwhile investment you’ve ever made?
6. What is an unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love?
7. What new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?
8. What advice would you give to a driven college student? What advice should they ignore?
9. What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise?
10. What have you become better at saying no to?
11. What do you do when you feel overwhelmed or unfocused?
