Tim Ferriss summarizes tools that successful people use to motive them and to keep them focused on their goals. Ideally, you should implement a few of the key takeaways for your life to boost your future. It would be impractical to try applying all of these suggestions in your life since a few contradict each other.

Summary of Tools of Titans is similar to a buffet; many excellent ideas are presented with the option of selecting what looks the most promising to your wellbeing. I selected a few that I find would benefit me best.

First selection was “Go first”. Be the first to make eye contact, smile, and say hello. It is more intimidating for me to talk one on one than to stand up and speak to a crowd. So I will apply this to my personality until it is natural. Second selection is asking myself, “If I had to accomplish just one thing to feel satisfied with my day, what would it be?” This would change my day since I look for everything else to do but that one hard thing on my list.

Great from first page

I loved the takeaway portions that "one" line the summary it's how I take notes and a great way draw my ADD mind into reading more. Speaking of my low opening mindscape ... incorporating more one paragraph stories will help to make more of an impact. Especially for young readers who have little to no life experience with which to gain traction on some of the bigger life concepts.

Great summary

Although you can add a little more points. This is a great way to read the book. I am reading the actual book and this points definitely match with the ones I found most value. Thank you

Much Appreciated Summary!

I'm reading the original book as well but this concise summary makes it easier to take away the highlight from each chapter in TotT.
