Tim Ferriss is an angel investor and advisor to various tech start-ups such as Facebook, Twitter, and Uber, among others.

His podcast The Tim Ferriss Show has been downloaded over 80 million times, dubbing Tim the title The Oprah of Audio.
He has written several books prior to Tools of Titans.

Tools of Titans began as Tim's personal project to summarize more than 10,000 pages of his notes. The end-result is a compendium of tips and tidbits from experts, influencers, and people who are generally considered as success stories. These are people who, like Tim, are titans or super-humans, in the sense that they have accomplished great things in their respective fields, and are driving significant changes in the world in their own ways.
Contributing guests include athletic power-couple Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece, action star turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, philosopher Alain de Botton, journalist Malcolm Gladwell, and AcroYoga cofounder Jason Nemer, among others.
For Tim, Tools of Titans is not just a compilation of quotations, but a toolkit full of results-driven tactics and philosophies that worked for successful people and for him. He calls it a buffet of performance-enhancing details and ideas. He encourages the readers to scan the book and to feel free to skip parts liberally and intelligently. His goal is: "for each reader to like 50%, love 25%, and never forget the 10%."
The structure of the original book is personality-based. This makes it easy for the reader to skip freely from one guest to the next, allowing the reader to see patterns, connect the dots, and extrapolate useful tips along with technical how-tos. There is merit to this format because it provides context and backstories to the quotable quotes and general learnings. That kind of format is fit for readers who are patient to read through interviews and anecdotes. However, it might not be everyone's cup of tea.
Hence, this summary of Tim's book was written to provide a more condensed, processed, and synthesized version of Tim's book. This is perfect for people who appreciate a more macro view before delving into the micro details. The format is reversed in this summary. This already connects the dot for you, dear reader. It is advised that you still read the original book after reading this summary, to zoom in on dots that interest you.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he is not a self-made man because he has had a lot of help along the way, by standing on the shoulders of giants. Tim made the shoulders of giants more accessible to readers, and this summary makes it even more easy-to-digest.
