Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World
reviewed on + 670 more book reviews


This book is good bathroom or bedtime reading. There are dozens of quick chapters, each a set of responses to Tim Ferriss's questions from people you probably have never heard of but whom he obviously admires.

There were only a couple of spots where I actually learned anything, but overall the book was interesting because it got me thinking about how entranced Tim Ferriss is with people who can claim any kind of "best." His definition of an ultra-high achiever worthy of being admired is quite, quite different from mine! He did not seek out trailblazers in government, sustainability or community service and not many in the arts.
