More quotes by Tim Ferriss
There is always more information than attention
Tim Ferriss
Slowing down doesn't mean accomplishing less it means cutting out counterproductive distractions and the perception of being rushed.
Tim Ferriss
A recession is very bad for publicly traded companies, but it's the best time for startups. When you have massive layoffs, there's more competition for available jobs, which means that an entrepreneur can hire freelancers at a lower cost.
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
I really feel like knife skills - not just in the kitchen, but in life - are really critical.
Tim Ferriss
Learn to be difficult when it counts. In school as in life, having a reputation for being assertive will help you receive preferential treatment without having to beg or fight for it every time.
Tim Ferriss
Happiness has a very short half-life.
Tim Ferriss
The fishing is best where the fewest go and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone is aiming for base hits.
Tim Ferriss
Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.
Tim Ferriss
Learn to ask, If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?
Tim Ferriss
Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.
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
Seemingly unrelated [things] that are in fact really related, that's the stuff I like to talk about. Like dancing, language learning, swimming, three-pointers.
Tim Ferriss
Language learning deserves special mention. It is, bar none, the best thing you can do to hone clear thinking.
Tim Ferriss
Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic.
Tim Ferriss
The reason I was successful in launching my first book with bloggers is this: I assumed that I should spend as much time on a blogger with a million-person readership as I would pitching an editor of a publication with a million person subscription-base.

Learn to be difficult when it counts
Tim Ferriss
You think you're fatigued, therefore you can't exercise. In fact, you choose not to move, therefore you feel fatigued.
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.'
Tim Ferriss
I always point people to the article '1,000 True Fans' by Kevin Kelly. If you choose your thousand ideal customers or readers properly and find the single author blog that targets that audience, you never have to do any more marketing. You're done. That is a lesson that very few product developers and marketers have learned, and it's unfortunate.
