Tools of Titans Summary
The book distill information from the guest on his show, but it also includes hundreds of bite-sized nuggets that an change the way you look at thinks and the way you look for solutions. But the secret to finding the right answer is the ask the right question. The book will you give these important questions.
The author says that in spite of interviewing hundreds of guests on his show, he doesn’t see himself as and interviewer. He sees himself as an experimenter. And all the information in the book is the result of this experimentation. Advice that he has implemented and tested before putting it out for his readers.
The book is a reference manual of a kind. The author quotes each guest’s experience and wisdom on their expert topic to provide a laser focused answer on the topic. Each of these guests have achieved amazing feats in their fields. Whether it is Dominic D’Agostino who lifted 500 pounds for 10 reps after 7-day fasting or Patrick Arnold who created THG and now works with the military on Ketone supplementation.
From physical fitness to business acumen to leadership to science, each chapter about a specific guest provides advice and tips that can make you better at what you do. For example, Alain De Botton, a philosopher, points out how we should avoid jumping to conclusion and see for the root cause for malice in other people. He explains this by asking us why we never say “the crying bawling baby is out to get me” when faced with a crying baby, but do that quite easily with a grown up.
It is the season of gifting and then it is the season of resolutions. And to makes those resolutions work for your friends and family, Tools of Titans is the perfect gift that will motivate them to take action.
Foreword by Arnold Schwarzenegger
