Tools of Titans

Tools of Titans is not meant to be read all the way through and I wholeheartedly agree. Although I struggled to get through certain sections due to a lack of interest in the topic, much of the information and concepts presented in this book are moderately interesting at worst and profound at best. On occasion, Ferriss's writing can come across as a bit self-centered (i.e. “As I was writing this book is Paris, sipping my glass of (x)...” sort of thing), but the value of the book's content makes up for it.

If you're looking to get as much value from this book in the least time possible, I would highly recommend going straight to the back of the book, where Ferriss summarizes some of the commonalities of the people he's interviewed over the years and more importantly, the books that have been most frequently recommended by those same people. After doing so, flip through each section and skip liberally if you so desire.

Is it a page turner from start to finish? No. Absolutely not. Would I recommend it just based on likelihood of finding at least one profound nugget of wisdom or info that may shift your perspective on something? Absolutely.
