Tim Ferriss Author, The Four Hour Workweek |
October 17th, 2008 |
I had a chance to sit down with my very good friend Tim Ferriss and talk about his amazing rise to fame with his best selling first book, The Four Hour Workweek. In this interview, Tim reveals a lot about his process for creating and promoting the book, what he has learned about time management and uncomplicating his life, and how to do an on screen interview despite distractions from Shakira … check it out!
Being faceless doesn't work anymore.
The Personality Project is an online collaboration to uncover the many ways that personality matters for brands and individuals to stand out. The site is inspired by the new marketing book Personality Not Included.

1I think my first feelings about Tim were jealousy and skepticism, but fortunately, I’ve gotten past that to where I am now inspired and challenged toward growth.
Thanks for the interview, and thanks to Tim for doing what he does.

2“Don’t write what you think your readers want to read, write what your passionate about”
That’s the one quote I would take away from the video.
You are then expressing yourself, your thoughts, and opening the floor for discussion. Readers also can pick up on your passion.
