About the book

Tim Ferriss, a lifelong non-cook, uses cooking as the vehicle for teaching meta-learning, a step-by-step method for picking up any skill quickly. Billed as a cookbook for readers who don't buy cookbooks, it is organized in five sections: META on learning how to learn, DOM on basic kitchen techniques, WILD on hunting and foraging, SCI on the science side of cooking, and PRO on how the best in the world reach the top. It mixes recipes based on his Slow-Carb Diet with tips from chefs, chess prodigies, athletes and sommeliers. Published by Amazon Publishing in 2012, it was boycotted by some bookstores, Barnes & Noble among them.

DULO co-founder Marin Gerov called Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour books, this one included, excellent resources for getting better at work, health and learning.

First, a word on career paths. In time, I realised that career paths are like one-way streets. Magic happens in unexplored territories. Plus life is how you choose to live every moment, every day. So today, rather than building a career, I prefer to make lateral moves in life, working with great people and being part of ambitious projects impacting the world. There are a few books that got me here: [...] Tim Ferriss " The 4-Hour Workweek", "The 4-Hour Chef", "Tools of Titans".
