Oof, be wary of Tim Ferriss, for he is a giant phony. I bought one of his books once, and nearly every single piece of advice in it was a bad generalization from a single study, and all of it was either already well known outside of the book, or ineffective, or just plain wrong. I have had great luck by immediately downgrading the trustworthiness of anything that mentions him, and especially anything that treats him as an authority. I have found the same with NLP. Please don’t join that club.
Tim Ferriss is an utterly amoral agent. His purpose is to fill pages with whatever you will buy, and sell them to you, for money. Beyond that, he does not care, at all. I expect he has read Robert Cialdini’s “Influence”, but only as a guidebook to the most efficient ways to extract money from suckers.
