"Tim Ferriss begins his book stating that this book should be considered the diary of a madman and I was given no less than promised. He's either the world'd biggest liar or the most interesting man on earth or some combination of the two. Either way it's a fun read and probably the most interesting non-fiction book I've ever read. This guy is crazy." — Jul 22, 2014 08:57AM

Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.”

“We don't believe something by merely saying we believe it, or even when we believe that we believe it. We believe something when we act as if it were true.”

“How can you gain a full understanding of a subject when you don't understand the words used to explain it?
Well, that's why words are the biggest hidden barrier to understanding that almost everyone completely overlooks.
Simply put, if you have misunderstandings about the words being used to communicate specific concepts, you will not duplicate the communications exactly - you will reach your own distorted conclusions due to misinterpretation.”
