Tim Ferriss

Tim Ferriss is an American author, investor, and podcaster who turned self-experimentation into a career and a genre. His breakout, The 4-Hour Workweek, popularized lifestyle design, outsourcing, and “mini-retirements,” and launched a series applying the same optimize-everything ethos to fitness and cooking. Through his top-ranked podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, he deconstructs the habits and routines of high performers, material he distilled into the bestsellers Tools of Titans and Tribe of Mentors. An early startup investor, he is also a prominent backer of psychedelic research.
