Kay: All right, you’ve got a new book out, Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World- Class Performers. Basically what you have done is you’ve distilled hours of interviews you’ve done on your podcast The Tim Ferris Show, to get the best tactics to help people live a flourishing life. I love these sorts of books, like what successful people do, the routines of successful people. One of the criticisms that’s levied at these sorts of books and articles and things like that, is that they can fall prey to the survivorship bias. For those who aren’t familiar, the survivorship bias is, if you just look at successful people and look at what they did, you can get the assumption that, well if you do these things too, you too will also be successful, but you ignore the people who did the exact same things, but failed. You don’t see the losers. How do you respond to a criticism like that? Does that apply to the Tools of Titans or not? Tim Ferriss: I think that survivorship bias, the survivorship bias is something I’m very acutely familiar with because of investing. If you look at Barrons and you look at the mutual funds that advertise, that is a common criticism. That they just happen to be the monkey that flipped heads up a hundred times in a row, but if you have enough monkeys you’re going to end up with a lot of those, and how do you know that that monkey will go on to write how to books about how to flip coins? It just was a probability that of course given the sample size, you’d end up with something like that. I’m very familiar with how people can confuse correlation with causation. In this case, I think there are a few differences. The first is that from the hundreds of hours and about ten thousand pages of transcripts, that is probably 5. Tools of Titans. The distilled tactics and routines and so on. The important portion is that I don’t view myself as an interviewer. The rest is all new stuff. Brand new tips from past guests, and also new folks like Jack Dorsey and so on. There are a few elements that make it different. The fist is that I don’t view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimentalist. I’ve tried everything in the book, and I have replicated results to one extent or another. I’ve also then been able to look at how these habits have been used by my friends, colleagues, and fans over the last several years. Being able to vet, let’s just call it top 1% of everything that has been on the Tim Ferriss to date. The second piece of it is that many of these people, and I would be the first to say I think that it’s not any one trick or hack, which is a word I try not to use these days, but there’s no one trick that’s going to turn you into Jack Dorsey. The fact remains that once you’re lucky, twice you’re good, three times something really interesting is going on. Jack is someone who has a history of multiple home runs. Mark Andreessen, same story. These are people who, if they’re lucky, they are some of the luckiest people on the planet, but I have to think there is actually an element of skill involved. They have blueprints and recipes of their own. In the case of what’s been included in the book, these are things that I’ve been able to duplicate to some extent. It’s a big difference, is I’m not looking at it from the sidelines. I’m really an experiential learner, and only want to give people stuff that they can apply. Brett Mc. Kay: Right, so you’ve vetted everything. You experimented. That’s one of the ways you can figure out, if you can replicate it. Tim Ferriss: Yeah, definitely. I also just underscore the fact that it’s a matter of not only finding habits and routines and so on that appear to work for someone, but looking at for instance, the sleep cycles and so on, of these different models and finding someone who is compatible with your own personality in life. It’s very easy to say, well, hey you should wake up at 4: 3. ABCD people do. Just because it works for one person, just because it works for even many people, does not mean it will necessarily work for you. There is some trial and error involved, but the good news is, it doesn’t take a whole hell of a long time. Brett Mc. Kay: Right, so we’re not all Jockos. Tim Ferriss: We’re not all Jockos. For instance, there are certain things that you can test very quickly. I’ll actually pull out one of your pieces of work. When I was trying to learn how to whistle with my fingers to call my dog Molly, back in the day, I watched your video over and over and over again. As you know, it sucks learning to do it in the very beginning. You look like an idiot having some type of meltdown in the beginning. Over time, it takes just a few days, and then you’ll have your first success. The feedback loop is pretty fast, as it is with a lot of this stuff. Brett Mc. Kay: As you interview people, and as you went through the transcripts and writing the book, did you find that there were common habits or tactics or routines of these people you interviewed? Tim Ferriss: There were a lot of them. Sorry for the police cars. I’m in New York City. It sounds like I’m in Beirut, but hopefully you’re not picking up too much of that. The common habits and routines are many. There are a lot of patterns that I spotted after the fact. Here are a few. One would be that at least 8. I interviewed, and this could be another type of bias, selection bias. Survivorship, this could be selection bias meaning that I’m inviting people onto my show who are more prone to, in this case, have some type of meditation or mindfulness practice. More than 8. 0% have it, or have had it. If you look at, say Arnold Schwarzenegger, he only did it for a year, but he did transcendental meditation.
