#468: Books I've Loved — Cal Fussman

Optimal minimal. At this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. And I answer you personal question. Now it is seen. I'm a cybernetic organism living to show a metal mental cellar. Books I've loved on the Tim Ferris show is exclusively brought to you by Audible. There couldn't be a better sponsor for this series, my dear listeners and readers. I have used Audible for so many years. As long as I can remember, I love it. Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks on the planet. I listen when I'm taking walks. I listen while I'm cooking. I listen whenever I can.

And if you're looking for a place to start, I can recommend three of my favorites. The first Is the Tau of Seneca. by Seneca, if you want to hear my favorite letters of all time, touches on stoic philosophy, calmness under duress, et cetera.

The next is The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, G A I M A N, one of my favorites. Even if you're a nonfiction purist, this is the fiction book that you need to listen to. Neil also has perhaps the most calming voice of all time. And third, Greg McEwen's Essentialism. Subtitle The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. This is one of my favorite books of the past few years. Combines very well with the eighty twenty principle. But more on Audible. Every month, Audible members get one credit for any audiobook on the site, plus a choice of multiple Audible originals from a rotating selection. They also get access to daily news digests from the likes of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. as well as guided meditation programs. And here are some other amazing audible features. And I use a bunch of these. You can download titles and listen offline anytime, anywhere.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
