Tim Ferriss grew up in East Hamptons, NY. In 2001, while still working his day job, he created BrainQUICKEN, an internet-based nutritional supplement business, and grew it to 7-figures before realizing he was spending so much time and energy on the business that he wasn’t happy. This inspired him to write his first book, The 4-Hour Workweek, and spawned a new approach to life and business.
Referred to as a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk, Tim has written multiple best-selling books, including The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Body, The 4-Hour Chef, Tools of Titans, and Tribe of Mentors. I have personally read (and re-read) The 4-Hour Workweek and Tools of Titans, and highly recommend both.
Tim also has a world-famous podcast, blog, was the 6th highest ranked angel investor in 2014 and is popular on Twitter, where his account is one of the 5 Must-Follow Twitter Accounts for Entrepreneurs according to Mashable.
If you’re looking for a great mix of business, personal development, productivity and all sorts of other life hacks, I highly recommend him!
