More quotes by Tim Ferriss
I've seen the promised land, and there is good news. You can have it all.
Tim Ferriss
The problem with New Year's resolutions - and resolutions to 'get in better shape' in general, which are very amorphous - is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesn't work. I don't care if you're a world-class CEO - you'll quit.
Tim Ferriss
Luxury, to me, is not owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.
Tim Ferriss
Just because something has been a lot of work or consumed a lot of time doesn't make it productive or worthwhile.
Tim Ferriss
I'm not a big believer in long-term planning and far-off goals. In fact, I generally set 3-month and 6-month dreamlines. The variables change too much and in-the-future distance becomes an excuse for postponing action.
Tim Ferriss
I'm prepared to do battle for a dream that is worth dreaming.
Tim Ferriss
People who avoid all criticism fail. It's destructive criticism we need to avoid, not criticism in all forms.
Tim Ferriss
The truth is that since the first book, I have wanted to emulate Benjamin Franklin and put together a healthy, wealthy and wise trilogy and so healthy was 'The 4-Hour Body,' wealthy was 'The 4-Hour Workweek' and then wise is 'The 4-Hour Chef.'

Personal branding is about managing your name - even if you don't own a business - in a world of misinformation, disinformation, and semi-permanent Google records. Going on a date? Chances are that your blind date has Googled your name. Going to a job interview? Ditto.
Tim Ferriss
One of the bigger misconceptions of learning is that many skills take a lifetime to get world-class at, or 10,000 hours to become world-class at.
Tim Ferriss
Focus on being productive instead of busy.
Tim Ferriss
Don’t follow a model that doesn't work. If the recipe sucks, it doesn't matter how good a cook you are.
Tim Ferriss
If someone's criticism is completely unfounded on data, then I don't want to hear it. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
Tim Ferriss
People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.
Tim Ferriss
Just because you are embarrassed to admit that you're still living the consequences of bad decisions made 5, 10, 20 years ago shouldn't stop you from making good decisions now. If you let pride stop you, you will hate life 5, 10, and 20 years from now for the same reasons.
Tim Ferriss
Sports just happen to be excellent for avoiding foreign-language stage fright and developing lasting friendships while still sounding like Tarzan.
Tim Ferriss
Most people can do absolutely awe-inspiring things. Sometimes they just need a little nudge.
Tim Ferriss
I didn't even like white wine. Then I tasted it and bought a case. It was the first case of any wine I'd ever bought.
Tim Ferriss
Lack of time is actually lack of priorities.
Tim Ferriss
There are tons of things in your home and life that you don't use, need, or even particularly want. They just came into your life as impulsive flotsam and jetsam and never found a good exit. Whether you're aware of it or not, this clutter creates indecision and distractions.
