I love how Tim Ferris explained his 80/20 analysis technique. I need to apply this technique this Friday. Great interview JD. I love how quick and to the point it was. I didn’t feel like I had to waste my time to get to the good stuff.

@ Clay — I really enjoyed talking with Tim. He drives a lot of things from data, so his insights can be surprising.

@ Olivier — It’s not really about cooking — it’s a book about rapid learning (so be careful not to judge a book by its title.)

What I like most in the book is the surprising data. There are lots of data points and distinctions that can help with anything from learning a new language to learning how to swim most effectively.

@ Hilary — What’s really refreshing about the book is that it’s thick and dense. It’s great to read something that really has a lot of insights and actionable things to do, from cover to cover.

@ Siddartha — I think Tim has a way to boil impossible down to the possible … he exposes “how the magic trick was done.”

Hi JD .. what a great interview – and thanks for giving us such a valuable audio here on the blog – which we can dip into as and when we feel like it.

I enjoyed your chat and it was fun hearing your voice! I’ve seen a few posts on his book … and will keep an eye open for it … unless it doesn’t hit the shelves as such …

The story to illustrate our objective is an essential component of our entrepreneurial skills …

Thanks very much – I’ll be back to re-read and listen to it .. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family today … cheers Hilary

I listened to the podcast and read some reviews on this book and I’m not going to read it. From these I think there ins’t really anything he talks about in his book that would not generate a “duh” moment for people coming like me from cultures in which cooking is just natural (think China, India, Southern-Europe…).

Of course you don’t need tons of equipement to cook, of course your set of pots if used (so are your knives), of course cooking is not intimidating, of course cooking in the evening does not need to take lots of time, etc.

I did read his 4-weeks work-week and, honestly, most of its content was either a “re” of (for instance) the concepts you already talk about J.D. (prioritization, top items for the day, week, month; energy management, etc) and/or were not applicable to most people’s job. Yes if you’re a free lance consultant or book writer this can work. But not for the layman corporate employee.
