About the book

Over more than a decade, Tim Ferriss tested ways to reshape the human body, drawing on elite athletes, doctors and his own experiments, in search of the smallest changes that produce the biggest results. Diet is the main focus, with further chapters on exercise, sleep and sexual performance. Ferriss sets out his slow-carb diet: the same simple meals eaten repeatedly, slow carbohydrates, no starches or sweets including fruit, and one cheat day a week. Options run from simple to extreme, with personal stories, before and after photos and recipes. Published in 2010, it opened in first place on the New York Times best seller list.

Bryan Callen, co-host of The Fighter and the Kid, said in Tools of Titans that it is probably one of the two books he has recommended more than any others. DULO co-founder Marin Gerov said the 4-Hour series has served him very well for improving his work, health and learning.

I get most of my information about nutrition from medical studies. I haven’t read any books about nutrition that I agree with 100%. These are a few nutrition related books that I’ve read recently that I thought were interesting: Eat to Live (Joel Fuhrman), Why We Get Fat (Gary Taubes), and The 4-Hour Body (Tim Ferriss).

I probably have recommended The Art of Learning and The 4-Hour Body, I'm not kidding, more than any other books.
