內容簡介
《紐約時報》暢銷書《一週工作四小時》作者Tim Ferriss新作，集結了他下載量超過1億的播客節目其受訪來賓成功的祕訣。
Tim Ferriss在本書中說道：
過去兩年來，在我的播客節目Tim Ferriss秀當中，我訪問了將近200位世界級的表演家。來賓包括了電影明星傑米．福克斯、阿諾．史瓦辛格，在健力、體操與衝浪等領域赫赫有名的運動員，傳奇的特種部隊指揮官以及非法交易市場的生物化學家。大部分的來賓都是生平第一次同意接受2到3小時的訪問，而這個節目的下載次數已來到1億。這本書談的是經過精煉的工具與策略，以及只有內行人才知道、別處找不到的秘訣。
使這個節目與眾不同之處，在於不間斷地專注於可以付諸行動的細節。答案其實來自於問題。例如：在每日清晨的第一個60分鐘，這些人都在做些什麼？他們的日常訓練是什麼樣子？為什麼要這麼安排？他們最常送什麼樣的書給別人？在他們那一行，對新手來說，什麼最浪費時間？每天吃什麼樣的營養補充品保持健康？
我不把自己當作一個採訪者，我把自己視為一個實驗者。在每日忙亂的現實生活中，如果我不能嘗試某些事情且得出結果，那麼我對那些事情完全不感興趣。
書中的每件事情都被檢驗、探索並且以某些方式應用在我個人的生活裡。我已經把數十種策略與哲學應用在高風險的談判與環境中，或者大型的交易。這些經驗或教訓為我賺進了幾百萬美金，免去數年的徒勞無功與挫折。
我為我自己創作了這本帶有高風險工具的終極手札，它改變了我的生命，我希望也可以改變你的。
“For the last two years, I’ve interviewed nearly two hundred 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, and the show is on the cusp of passing 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.”
