Hi Tim, I have 1 off topic question, but I don't see any other way of getting to ask it... I have bought and am reading your book "Tools of Titans" (physically on paper). Congratulations for the book btw as it is really great. The book is so great that I would really like to have it in my pocket all the time. The problem is it is quite big 🙂 The question is: Is there an option to retrieve an electronic version of the book based on the physical book? (Maybe based on the ISBN as it is the case with other books) Hope I will receive an answer 😃 Thanks

[@moonbeam385]

I so mastered the art of not giving a fuck l am not even going to watch the video. Fuck it. I love you. Bye

[@cannabishomegrowconsulting6043]

Man this guy Tim just prints money! And I love it! Just finished the 4 hr work week, wow. Just started Atomic Habits, thanks for everything you do!

[@svantenordstrom]

Fun fact: to this day, Mark has answered every email i’ve written to him since like 2017. Some answers been short and some have been more of a back and forth. He is as genuine as they come.

[@MartinKPettersson]

As a former monk I actually remember reading your books while I was ordained, thinking about how fascinating it was to hear someone delve into their own mind and body as much as you have. And then be able to share it with others in a book which actually helped me in some ways while I was a monastic. Thank you for all the material you put out!

[@meaningfulmakings]

People are fascinated by monks. Me included. Even more fascinating is are former monks. Anyhow, I’ve now subscribed to your channel.

[@MartinKPettersson]

@@meaningfulmakings for people around me it always seemed like a big thing when I left. For me it was at the time the most obvious answer to a problem that I was having since someone had to know the answers (not religious), I figured the monks where the ones who would know. So I sold my stuff and left for 8 years.

[@What-vo5bx]

@@MartinKPettersson subscribed! 😄

[@misty7220]

The way you said "yeah, April 2007 is when it came out, seems like a lifetime ago" was really beautiful, you looked like it was a really warm moment

[@mariolongtin8271]

I'm so happy for you, Mark! We'll deserved. You're so humble too and it's nice see the real ones make it! When I started reading your blog back in 2012, 2013, I knew it was inevitable that you would blow up! That's what brought me into your blog, the psychology aspect into personal development.

[@steve1235759]

Tim is absolutely nailed his KZbin channel I can’t believe that I’m just finding him now after reading 4 hour work week years ago. Love Marks work as well. It’s amazing to be able to listen the these conversations with top performers. Water seeks its own level and these talks get my operating at a high level almost thro osmosis!!

[@wjcurious]

I need more Tim Ferriss in my life. Once I start listening to the podcast, I get back on track.

[@meaningfulmakings]

Yes. He’s a re-set for sure.

[@Tonysuriano]

Ditto! 4 hour work week helped me leave USA and live in Asia on beachfront house while writing a feature films for nearly a year while renting out my USA place out 🎉

[@antoniovillanueva1119]

My thoughts, exactly.

[@djVania08]

Any other podcast/source that does that for you?

[@margaret3883]

Two heavy hitters 💪If you haven't seen Tim's last TED talk yet, go there next! Blew me away 🌬Gained a whole new appreciation for this man 🙏

[@clarkkegley]

Love the dynamic. Great conversation 💪

[@1chefa]

It’s great to have Tim and Mark together! The two brain stuff idols I have.

[@tonywong6884]

"You and I have had a complicated relationship, most of which you're not aware of." Tim probably gets this a lot and to hear it come from Manson was strangely wholesome and uplifting.

[@DarkDruid7]

Two of my favorite authors finally talking together. Love it.

[@uknowwho613]

Just bought this book the day after Christmas. Great timing!

[@edgardosantana]

This conversation is so wholesome and the questions have been great and well thought-out. I really appreciated the Katamari reference btw. Still at the 1-hour mark but definitely looking forward to watching the rest. Great timing for this interview btw. Thank you both! 🙏

[@franklanham6936]

I stopped in the middle of this interview and watched Mark’s movie/documentary. It is outstanding! Affected me emotionally and left a big impact on me, for the better I’m sure.

[@chiefmcconnell]

Wha wha whaaaat?? Never read Sophie's World?? It is an incredible book (especially on audio format), such a super awesome episode. Love digging deeper into the Mark Manson Machine. appreciate seeing the two of you vibing out. great jam session

[@aLIGHTinSHNINGdarkns]

Great video Tim! Will smith is my favorite actor and im so happy you collabed with him! High profile People of Business like you two should stick together in this world.

[@NYKIRA]

Wait that's a great idea!!💡 I would really appreciate hearing advice from successful individuals & listening to their take on what isn't always shared when becoming successful

great minds. love the conversation. love both of these authors. packed with insights and stories that spark emotions and thoughts within me. thanks for sharing yet another gem of an episode, Tim!

[@Madhuwellness]

Mark Manson I read your book not giving a fuck, life changing thank you ❤

[@therealjohnnyb2151]

Never fails Tim...I get 20 min into a podcast and my kindle library grows by a book. Don't know why I never picked up Subtle Art till now...guess I'm in a place where it'll mean the most to me now eh

[@JakeTime25]

Mark - PLEASE write a weight loss journey book!

[@brianb4877]

My two favorite authors!

[@FreedomLovin]

Great chat! I was also wanting to hear more personal stuff. Like Manson's personal life, marriage, where he's living, etc. It would be fascinating to hear about all that!

[@amanr6346]

56:08 ‘I just got fat’ 😂😂……Love Manson just one awesome dude and one of those people you are just happy for and who inspires you too!

[@DJSTOEK]

Thank you

[@ashleylemmer8016]

Brilliant! Thanks guys.

[@MattKaramazov]

Ok, now I’m not SURE, but I think this episode just changed my life 🔥🔥🔥

[@coppersense999]

Yeah whoever helped him with his newsletter revamp was an excellent hire. The difference is so noticeable and while there was nothing wrong with the old format, the new style is just a huge leap forward as an Improvement and upgrade. Extremely refreshing to see an iteration for the better. 👍

[@YashoShasho]

Grateful for what you share and what a difference it makes. I appreciate the wisdom “One step at a time. Keep that sticky ball rolling. Don’t underestimate what you can do over time.” :) When I used to teach, I would tell my students all the time “Put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be walking out the door.” As a child that song from Santa Claus is Coming to Town, though it seems so simple, helped my through some trying times in my life. All we can do is keep going and rest but don’t quit. Don’t stay idle for too long. Be gracious with yourself. Life isn’t going to be perfect. It never will, but there are some rad highlights within the weaving of our lives. When there is extreme pain, feeling shards of glass in your heart, keep moving. Don’t wait for the pain to pass, just keep on, carry on. Your heart will heal and you’ll be stronger for it. Blessings.

[@creativerebelution]

This is a great conversation

[@Droviderion]

24:06 that is what I'm trying to understand from when you named it! Google is not that clear either😂

[@isferdan]

Two of my favorites.. what a delight to listen you guys. Thanks 👏👏

[@williampowell3378]

Great episodes

[@MrFilip7m]

Listening to your podcast I have to say how nice of you to also greet ‘germs’ :)

[@taylorjanegreen1]

Great interview, thank you! Was surprised at the “male bias” terminology in Mark’s language for someone who’s about healing our future through psychology, language, writing and relationship. Overwhelming use of male pronoun. "He", "dude"' versus "individual", "person." Language designates value and visibility. Language creates culture at subconscious levels.

[@BigEnglishStandup]

Good job, Tim.

[@rationalcoder]

I see Tim is back to practicing stoicism with his bald guy hat.

[@investidorint]

This hat :) love that is back

[@daniel_najar]

First thing I noticed too :D

[@amorshanti]

I read few pages of this book and found quite interesting. Life changing book.

[@naturejelisabeth]

Such a cool & smart idea to hire a psychologist for researching topics!! Am somehow impressed and excited about that way of operation! :))

[@eliottrodriguez7425]

In the event you read this Mark .... 2 things. 1. Amazing idea to make therapy , life coping skills for the masses for free, preferably free, or really cheap , which is relative. Kudos for being still in that space in your head of Self development after all the notoriety and money. Making therapy , quality therapy for the Walmart employee like me, filled with creativity, turned to anxiety, who make $16.50 an hour , stocking shelves at the tender age of 56. 2. From your blog days and form " The subtle art...." I know you were or are into Marilyn Manson. In this podcast you said , at some point you mentioned that you decided to go with your real name. So, your real last name is Manson?! Wow. Love you long time....since 2014 to be exact. Later

[@chadwalkaden6375]

Everything is shown in 1:22 for the next minute. You can see Tim's respect and interest in hearing about his rules. The eternal guinea pig!

[@ebruergen7382]

Loved listening to these two! I wish it were more than 2 hours!

[@shukimonster]

this made me realise how improved the Tim Ferriss Show has gotten since this episode in terms of real takeaways and nuggets for living. Great interview of Mark Mansons life and pedestal accomplishments, but an hour in I didn't need more of a Mark love in or that he rejected Steven Spielberg or that he would ONLY write for A-List celebrities - put your ego down and give some tools and life insights to the listeners. I took away Zero reasons to read your books.

[@JanSadorra]

45:44 Didn't know Mark Manson's a metal head. Lamb of God -inspired book title haha. Nice

[@MajorasMaskMailman]

Great episode!

As a new, but already deeply passioned fantasy writer, I am highly excited to hearing more about your tour into the fantasy/sci-fi world and the "writer's journey" idea you touched on.

This is an awesome start into the New Year. Haven't watched it yet but something tells me this is gonna be gold.

Is he the Mark Manson that played for the Los Angeles Lakers and helped the Lakers won a Championship?

[@isabelanderson9838]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Thank you both!

[@NNPT2024]

beautiful voice

[@taylorjanegreen1]

Great show! Regarding Will at the Oscars… The video called “Monarch mind control… An alter-nate reality” on Journey to Truth podcast may possibly shed some light regarding the Tavistock Institute behind the scenes. Particularly the Hollywood scenes. Really good people suddenly acting strangely. And why. Dare we open our minds enough to investigate this.

By far one of the best books ever written. If only my personality were capable of not giving a fuck. I am cursed with a gene of caring.

[@ohcrikey9560]

Is there really nothing you don't give a fuck about? Just don't give a fuck about a lot more. Prioritise your fucks. Give a fuck about things you can change. Don't give a fuck about things you can't. It's a conscious decision.

mark needs to come on podcasts with more information next time. There were a couple stories and then just a few life stories, and then thats it. Its like half of the plot of one episode of GOT>

[@ohcrikey9560]

Read his books?

[@npi3142]

"In our industry, ideas aren't the thing that matters." Can anyone explain what this means? What does matter?

[@charlieloxley5935]

A way to look it could be that the “packaging” of ideas and the way they’re presented are often more important than the idea itself. A great idea packaged in an indigestible and non-relatable way will have much less impact than an inferior idea that is packaged more effectively. Hope this provided some sort of insight.

Tim, I'm worried that you are doing a fair bit of mouth-breathing. Never a good thing. Check out the last twenty seconds of this video and see for yourself if you are drawing air in through an open mouth. I am a big fan and hope you keep up the great work. All the best.

[@lunaticman]

What's up with wearing a hat in your apartment? Is that normal?

[@operarocks]

It's part of a stoic practise to wear something foolish, to build up a resilience against criticism and focus on the correct things.

i found his book completely obvious and lame. this discussion isn't much better imo.

[@ohcrikey9560]

Obvious to you. But not to everybody.

[@DavidRussellM]

I gotta say this was the least insightful Tim Ferris episode I’ve seen. This guy randomly started blogging at the right time? That’s it?

[@margaretenoha5394]

Free the Tates!!!!

[@JoBlakeLisbon]

This guy literally stole his whole idea from an English author called John Parkin who wrote a book called 'Fuck it, the ultimate spiritual way' In typical American fashion he jumped on the idea, repackaged it and stole it.

[@willhurst]

He sold it better and therefore will have more impact with the message. Sounds like he did the right thing.
