The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek.

From the author:

“For the last two years, I’ve interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview. This unusual depth has helped make The Tim Ferriss Show the first business/interview podcast to pass 100 million downloads.

“This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and ‘inside baseball’ you won’t find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new ‘guests’ you haven’t met.

“What makes the show different is a relentless focus on actionable details. This is reflected in the questions. For example: What do these people do in the first sixty minutes of each morning? What do their workout routines look like, and why? What books have they gifted most to other people? What are the biggest wastes of time for novices in their field? What supplements do they take on a daily basis?

“I don’t view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I can’t test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, I’m not interested.

“Everything within these pages has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. I’ve used dozens of the tactics and philosophies in high-stakes negotiations, high-risk environments, or large business dealings. The lessons have made me millions of dollars and saved me years of wasted effort and frustration.

“I created this book, my ultimate notebook of high-leverage tools, for myself. It’s changed my life, and I hope the same for you.”

读后感

这本书是我前年看万维钢老师的《高手:精英的见识和我们的时代》中他重点推荐的，当时真是觉得必得一读，而今得偿所愿。本书叫《巨人的工具》，它还有一个很长的副标题：《亿万富翁、偶像和世界级表演者的战术、习惯和日常》。从书名就能看出来，这本书讲的是牛人们的方法论的。...

很多公司，要做的事情和后来调整业务方向之后实际在做的事情，已经非常不一样了，这其实也是一个道理。 当你设定了远大的目标之后，就尽量活在当下，把每一件小事做好，而不要去担忧未来了。 “蝴蝶效应”其实是一种“混沌学”现象，在一个复杂系统中，哪怕是初始因子一点微小的变化，也可能导致结果巨大的变动和连锁反应。商业世界也是一样，细微因素的改变会带来结果的巨大不同。 提升商业洞察的第二步，是在理解世界“混沌”的前提下，努力寻找一些规律和秩序。从这个角度讲，我们都是商业世界的学生。

高手的战术、习惯和日常。
