Review: The Power of a Question - In Doug Adam's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" there is a super computer named "Deep Thought " that humans want to learn the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything". We learn later that the computer's answer is the number 42. The Deep Thought super computer rightfully points out that the answer seems meaningless as we don't know what the "Question" is. In this book, Tim has reverse-engineered and demonstrated the value of asking good open ended questions to some of the most interesting and inspiring people on the planet. I think it really works well! I have found some answers super short and concise and others a much longer form, but I have already learned so much from both types of answers! When I see some of the negative reviews, I'm a little taken back. I know books are personal and speak to people in different ways, so everyone who reads the book is entitled to their own impression of the work. Here is a list of what I specifically like about this book: 1. The questions are an algorithm for success and result in interesting and though-provoking answers. I love the diversity and similarities of answers. It shows that Tim didn't choose an echo chamber of interviewees, yet there are still themes that ring true throughout. 2. I really like the format. The small nuggets of wisdom can be consumed quickly, yet digested over a longer period of time. It seems to be a unique and very useful technique. Sometimes I prefer to just reflect and go deep in on one quote versus having a firehose of many disparate concepts as the longer form interviews in Tools of Titans could sometimes do (I still consider Tools one of my favorite books). 3. I really enjoyed the fact that the majority of interviewees were new to me, meaning not covered on Tim's podcast, or were on the podcast at some point, yet provided new material that was not previously heard by most. 4. I really enjoyed the last section "Some Closing Thoughts" written by Tim. Not only is the story good, the supporting poem deep and the conclusion simple. It's a profound end to everything that I think should be read first. it's a perfect complement to everything else you read in the book. "Don't try so hard", read the book piece by piece, enjoy it, ponder it, meditate on it and allow intuition to guide you. One personal example, I decided to just randomly open to a page and the person I selected was someone I never heard of before. She happened to recommend a book I heard on the Ray Dalio podcast and have been contemplating buying, yet haven't yet for some reason. The fact that it showed up again, when I wasn't thinking about it at all leads me to think it's even more important for me to read. The section was Esther Dyson on pages 243-245 and the book is "From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds" by Daniel C. Dennett. 5. The book question is a great question. The recommendations and the thought processes alone is hugely valuable to anyone who wants to learn and be mentored from the best. Reading good books is an essential ingredient to a well seasoned life and all the book recommendations are invaluable in my opinion. 6. This book was less than $20, which makes it a steal! 7. The quotes throughout the book and the nice aesthetic design elements throughout makes it an enjoyable experience to read. 8. The repeat and reflective value this book offers, including the note section and Tim's personal note taking tips really shows his heart is to help people, not just recycle and take shortcuts to make money like some reviewers have suggested. Thank you Tim for putting together this gem of a book. I'm sure you will hear of the lives it's helped improve many years from now!
Review: You Must Read This Life Changing Book! Here is why. - Short Version of this review. "Tribe of Mentors" is a book where Tim Ferris collects and shares deep, meaningful, practical and life-changing tips and hacks. These tools give you the power to positively improve or radically upgrade the way you live. Your upgrade will be on a personal, emotional, spiritual and practical level. Tim's teachers include a wide range of amazing people from legendary investor Ray Dalio to Navy Seal Jocko Willink (look him up) to Rabbi Lord Jonothan Sacks. These mentors become your mentors. You can spend decades trying to reinvent the wheel in order to improve your life. Or you can pick up this book and learn from Tim's "Tribe of Mentors" and exponentially accelerate your learning curve. Instead of pushing a stone-age vehicle, drive a Ferrarri! Long Version of the Review I don't write many reviews, but I felt compelled to write this review out of gratitude; gratitude to Tim for writing "Tribe of Mentors", an amazing and valuable book. I'm a big fan of Tim Ferris and his other books. However, due to some of the negative reviews, I considered not purchasing "Tribe of Mentors". Some reviews states that the information in the book was shallow and unorganized, etc....or at least compared to "Tools of Titans". But I am so glad I purchased the book. To understand why, lets look at "Tool of Titans" and compare its purpose to "Tribe of Mentors". "Tools of Titans" was a compilation of Tim's best interviews as well as how he has applied this knowledge in his personal life. "Tribe of Mentors" is Tim choosing his 10 or so best open-ended questions and emailing them to "Mentors" that he's never had the chance to meet in person. Since "Tools of Titans" is culled from podcasts which are off cuff, their spontaneous flow results in many low-hanging juicy nuggets. This contrasts sharply with "Tribe of Mentors" where Tim emails his mentors questions and they take hours or days to write thoughtful and sophisticated answers. Some of these answers are very deep. Many of these answers are very practical and can have an immediate impact on your life. At the same time, since the written answers are more thought out they often make more nuanced points and employ a more sophisticated vocabulary. It follows that "Tribe of Mentors" doesn't give you the same instant gratification feeling imparted by the conversational style of "Tools of Titans". Don't get me wrong, it flows and is easy to read. But at the same time, you need to apply yourself more. There is one aspect of the book that some reviewers criticized and I find fascinating; Tim asks everyone the same questions! While Tim only shares the best answers, the same questions do keep on cropping up over and over again. I completely understand how some can find this tedious. But let me tell you, "I love it". Here is why: Every Mentor gives different answers to the same questions, providing a breadth and range of personality and knowledge on the topics; a range that I have never seen paralleled. It also shows you the strategies and mindset that different leaders and heroes use to defeat failure and thrive. These are real poeple so it follows that some of their strategies contradict each other. To me this shows the authenticity of the human experience as well as gives you a choice of tools to choose from. What strategy works best for you? This diversity and color also opened my mind towards valuing the diverse and sometimes contradictory parts of my personality. (At the same time, even I get tired of the same questions over and over and over and over again! Mix and spice things up!) Some other really fun aspects of the book are that Tim has included links to interviews and other resources from many of the Mentors. He includes an index of the top books these leaders have purchased. There is also an index of best "under $100" purchases Tim's mentors have discovered. I've gained so much from this book. It's fantastic and life-changing. I give it my highest recommendation. If you'd read this far, thank you for joining me on this review. Leave me a reply after you've read the book letting me know what you think.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***S on May 8, 2018*

Tim Ferries is one of my favourites authors, I was so excited and to be honest, he never disappoint. Just one little thing to take into consideration. Don't expect a book with a story plot as I did, but expect a gathering of lot Titans's best quotes. When Im down and I need a bit of motivation, I open a random page and my motivation and willpower start rising..
