About the book

Tim Ferriss, a four-time number one best-selling author, went looking for mentors of his own and tracked down more than 100 experts, whose advice on success, happiness and meaning he presents in short profiles. Investor Ray Dalio names the three books he recommends most, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz explains why he turns down most requests, and TED curator Chris Anderson argues that pursuing a passion is bad advice. Athletes including Maria Sharapova, Tony Hawk and Kelly Slater share lessons, poker players Annie Duke and Daniel Negreanu describe their mental models, and David Lynch, Rick Rubin and Jimmy Fallon discuss meditation. Another entry follows how Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari went from repeated rejections to worldwide success.

Ray Dalio said he loves it as a gathering of sound principles from people who achieved great things, and Daymond John called it another great book from his friend and urged followers to add it to their reading lists.

I have always been a huge fan of his, started out reading his 4 Hour Work Week and now his latest, Tribe of Mentors.

Cliff Hartono (CEO/Jasri Partners)

Tim Ferriss’ latest book, Tribe of Mentors, contains over 130+ interviews with a diverse collection of top athletes, artists, CEOs and entrepreneurs. One of the questions he asks is “what is the book (or books) you’ve given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life?”. This has given me an extensive booklist recommended by amazing high performers like Dustin Moskovitz, Gary Vaynerchuk, Eric Ripert, Kelly Slater and Neil Gaiman (just to name a few).

Ray Dalio (Founder/Bridgewater Associates)

I love Tim’s book because it’s essentially a collection of great principles from people who have accomplished great things.
