#599: New Insights from Sam Harris, Dr. Peter Attia, Ramit Sethi, and Elizabeth Gilbert

Hello, boys and girls, ladies and germs. This is Tim Ferris. Welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferris Show, where it is usually my job in the long form interviews to deconstruct world class performers of all different types to tease out the routines, habits, favorite books, et cetera, that you can apply to your own lives. This episode is going to be something different. It's an experimental format that I'm super excited about. I've been thinking about it for a long time and it really scratches an itch that I've had for years. I'm asked all the time, what are your favorite podcasts to listen to? And the fact of the matter is, I'm so busy with this podcast that I don't always get to listen to what I want to listen to. Right? There's so many great podcasts out there, even when they are by some of my closest friends. So my answer to this predicament was to ask them to send me one of their top segments each from their podcast that I can listen to and just as important also share with you, my dear listeners. So my team edited these together and here we are. This episode is a compilation of 15 to 30 minute clips from some of the best podcasters in the world and certainly some of my favorites. And I told them that these segments have to be valuable as standalones. So you will get value from them. At the beginning of each clip, you'll hear an intro from the host, where to find their work and podcast and so on.

At the end, I'll also share one of my favorite clips from an episode of this podcast, the Tim Ferriss Show. from one of the long form interviews. You will notice that the first host is Sam Harris, and he actually includes some audio from his app, The Waking Up app, which I asked for and I put him first very, very deliberately because

I want to give you all some of my favorite meditations and that you could listen to repeatedly and to use this episode basically as a boot up mechanism or a reboot mechanism when you're feeling stressed or immersed in the chaos. Or just need some perspective. So That is why Sam is first. So you can view this episode as a buffet. I strongly suggest you check out the shows included. And if you like my podcast, you will very likely enjoy the featured shows in this episode. For a full list of the guests featured today, see the episode's description.
