What’s in it for me? Learn how the most respected professionals in the world got to the top.

Are you a recent graduate or a budding talent, ready for the next step in your career? Or maybe you’ve been working for a while now and are frustrated with the results so far. Either way, you’ve probably encountered a few challenges that you’re eager to overcome, so why not get some advice from the world’s top performers, the people who’ve already secured positions as pillars of their respective fields?

Tim Ferriss, the author of Tribe of Mentors and a rather well-respected entrepreneur in his own right, set out to create a handy guidebook for anyone looking for a little inspiration – a book of insightful and meaningful advice from some of the world’s brightest minds. Feeling the need for a motivational boost? Dive in to find some of the juiciest bits of advice!

In these blinks, you’ll discover

the one book that both Terry Crews and Jimmy Fallon hold dear;
the one self-investment that most mentors couldn’t do without; and
how “forest bathing” can come in handy.

To help you grow and succeed, turn to books that inspire and stimulate you.

The word “success” means different things to different people, but most of us would agree that being known to the world as a leader or a mentor is indicative of a high level of accomplishment. That’s why, when trying to pinpoint the habits of successful people, the author interviewed a series of renowned leaders and mentors. So what did he discover?

If asked to list the habits of success, you might not put reading at the top – and yet the author found that, for many leaders, books are an important source of inspiration.

For instance, the British journalist Matt Ridley, whose books on science and economics have sold millions of copies and been translated into over 30 languages, cherishes The Selfish Gene, by Richard Dawkins. Dawkins’s book not only provided Ridley with an answer to that most pressing of questions, “What is life?” – it revolutionized how people write about science and think about evolutionary biology.

In general, the books that mentors hold dear tend to offer spiritual or personal guidance.

Both the talk-show host Jimmy Fallon and the actor and former NFL star Terry Crews value Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. Fallon believes the book made him a better person, and it keeps Crews focused on what’s truly important in life.

Social science researcher and TED Talk superstar Dr. Brené Brown says that Harriet Lerner’s Why Won’t You Apologize? revolutionized her approach to apologizing. And then there’s that infamous book, The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand, which taught Wired magazine cofounder Kevin Kelly the importance of self-reliance – so much so that he dropped out of school after reading it!

Five-time Grand Slam tennis champion Maria Sharapova gained priceless insight into happiness from The Beggar and the Secret of Happiness: A True Story, by Joel ben Izzy.

Even children’s books can contain life-changing insights: TED Talk curator Chris Anderson will never forget the way C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia ignited his imagination. And, for Jimmy Fallon, The Monster at the End of the Book, by Jon Stone, continues to be a touchstone on the important subject of bravery.

Failure can help you grow and improve yourself.

Most of us, at some point in the past, have experienced at least one epic fail. Though such setbacks can feel insurmountable, it’s crucial to pick oneself up and carry on. But it’s even more important to try to learn from failure.

For instance, Rick Rubin, who’s produced countless Grammy Award-winning records, is familiar with the fickle finger of success. Masterful albums sometimes flop completely, and mediocre ones sometimes go platinum. The lesson he learned from failure is this: you can’t control how your work will be received. All you can do is stay true to your standards and make it the best you can.

Not all worthwhile investments are necessarily traditional ones.

When you hear the word “investments,” you might think about the stock market, but an investment can mean much more than what happens on Wall Street.

For mentors, the best investment you can make is one that takes your career to the next level.

Self-improvement can come from joining a community, prioritizing or seeing things differently.

No matter who you are, there’s always room for improvement, right?

Well, the author was particularly curious about the methods mentors use to improve themselves.

Dealing with a work overload means saying yes to yourself and no to others.

As the Notorious B.I.G. track “Mo Money Mo Problems” affirmed back in the ’90s, “The more money we come across, the more problems we see." So the author asked the mentors about their techniques for dealing with the difficulties that come with success.

What many agreed on is the need to reset and re-center yourself from time to time.

Focus on your passion and don’t fret about the future.

If there’s one common question that mentors get, it’s something like, “What piece of advice would you give someone who’s just starting out in their career?”

When the author brought up this question, many of the mentors said that it’s crucial not to get distracted by fears about the future and instead focus on the now.

Don't follow advice just because it's trendy or other people are doing it.

We’ve heard a lot of good advice, but maybe you’re curious about the worst advice the mentors have received?

Ed Coan, who’s set 71 different weightlifting-related world records, warns people against adopting techniques just because they’re new and trendy. Remember, there’s a good reason to trust the tried and true fundamentals that have stood the test of time.

Remember to value yourself and others.

At one point, the author asked all the mentors to consider what piece of advice they would give to everyone in the world if given the opportunity.

Many of them focused on asking people to be good to one another.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
