[Book Review] Tools of Titans

Tools of Titans

Do not read this like a normal book, in the age of Netflix the urge to binge is strong,  but you won’t be able to absorb all the tools.
With 736 pages you have some great tips both they are lost in the ‘good’

This book and by extension the Tim Ferriss podcast has lead to some behavior changes such as Headspace that lead to Jewish meditation and making my bed in the morning
This book is much more expensive than $18 hardcover on Amazon.
I’ve bought the following based on Podcast + book
  • 5 Minute Journal
    • replaced with regular Journal
  • Athletic greens
    • 2 months worth then canceled
  • Wealthfront
    • not really a purchase but I am parking my IRA money here instead of Betterment
  • Aromatherapy Diffuser
  • Box of Sardines
  • Tera’s Goat Whey
Would have been much more expensive if I had to buy most of the books recommended thankfully I could find most on overdrive.

If you heard all the podcasts, yes its repetitive as quotes “the good shit sticks”
If you heard the podcasts buying tools of titans makes a great bathroom reader to read a bio or two to refresh yourself with new tools.
Someone made Toolsfortitans to organize all the resources which can be found in the book
