What is Reddit's opinion of Tools Of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

It doesn't usually work that way.

It's not a color by numbers thing.

Read this book.

I think you'll find that mentorship is really on the individual theirself and often times about providing value to the mentor first for them to invest in you. And that investment is usually related to giving you direction to help them achieve something. And during that experience helping them, you learn. (Lots of mentor relationships are informal)

And stop the negative self talk. It does two things.

First it scares away successful people because they don't want to be around people like that.

Second it wastes time because it is an unproductive activity. (Imagine how many championships Kobe would have won if he stopped in the middle of practice shooting at 4 am to tell himself how much he sucks at shooting.)

Read the book. Work your butt off. Stop with the negative self talk.

Entrepreneurship is a contact sport. Get in the game and don't be afraid to to scrape up your knees and twist an ankle.

Be well.

I'm not looking to write a long post and I didn't really get the details fully understood, but I'll say two things. And I really don't understand how good the company or the start up people are outside of the company.

You don't really know much yet. Mentorship is most important. Soak everything up like a sponge. Learn as much as you can from people and take calculated risks. Relationships also matter. Building good relationships is important because if someone thinks you can help them and you're good and trustworthy they'll think of you for things. Relationships above, below, AND at your same level. Find the people worth investing in and build relationships. Also here's a book.

You also need to draw a map from where you are to where you want to go. Do it in detail. Money. Titles. Work life balance. At which time in your life. Age. Marriage. Kids. All of that $#@&. Then you use that as your compass for future decisions. I don't know if this is the right opportunity for you or if you're getting compensated well or appropriately. But it's good you asked a question about experience and mentorship vs compensation. It shows you are good at asking relevant questions.

One last thing. Make sure to find mentors outside of your current situation. For example, if you wanted to ask this question to the people you work for, obviously their answer would be biased. But if you asked them this question in 5 years when you were at a different company, then their answer would be less biased. (And hopefully in your best interest... especially if you did right by them and they truly want you to succeed.)

Good luck.

Been single for about 8 months feeling that pretty hard man

Edit: everyone else who’s going through worse shit than me I feel for you. I’d reccomend two books if you are interested in getting your shit together particularly if you are a young male although these could help anyone of any gender or background in my opinion:

12 Rules for Life by Jordan B Peterson

And:

Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss

12 rules for life is more just a good book to read if you are lost and need a book to get your shit together while tools for titans is more of a reference book for life that you can look back on when dealing with a particular part of your life that is difficult. It’s split into 3 sections called: Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Each section has people who’ve really succeeded in accomplishing great things in those categories writing about said success. I wish you all the best.

Tim Ferris has interviewed a lot of successful people

I am Tim Ferriss, host of “The Tim Ferriss Show” and author of “Tribe of Mentors.” AMA!

Hey reddit, Tim Ferriss here.

I’m best known for my books including “The 4-Hour Workweek”, “The 4-Hour Body”, “The 4-Hour Chef”, “Tools of Titans”, and “Tribe of Mentors,” which was released yesterday!

I am also the host of “The Tim Ferriss Show.” The podcast has been downloaded over 200,000,000 times and I’ve been fortunate enough to interview people including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Foxx, Edward Norton, Tony Robbins, Maria Popova, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Amanda Palmer, and a ton more.

My newest book is “Tribe of Mentors.” The book is the result of sending the same 11 questions to some of the most successful, wildly varied, and well-known people on the planet. People like Jimmy Fallon, Rick Rubin, Maria Sharapova, Ben Stiller, Greg Norman, Brené Brown, Dara Torres, and many more.

I asked the questions to seek guidance in my own life. I turned 40 this year, celebrated The 4-Hour Workweek’s 10th anniversary, and gave a vulnerable Ted Talk. As often happens at forks in the path—college graduation, quarter-life crisis, midlife crisis, kids leaving home, retirement—questions started to bubble to the surface. This book answers those questions from some of the world's most famous entrepreneurs, athletes, investors, poker players, and artists. The tips and strategies in have already changed my life, and I hope the same for you. If you’d like, you can read the introduction here.

Outside of podcasting and books I’m also an angel investor and startup advisor in companies such as Uber, Duolingo, Facebook, Twitter, Alibaba, and 50 more (Most are here: http://angel.co/tim).
