Description
Bestselling author Tim Ferriss ("The World's Best Human Guinea Pig." - Newsweek) pushes himself to the breaking point, attempting to learn notoriously punishing skills—surfing, professional poker, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, parkour, languages, etc.—in just one week each. Filmed and edited by the team behind Anthony Bourdain (Zero Point Zero). In every episode of The Tim Ferriss Experiment, Ferriss partners with the world's best and most unorthodox teachers (e.g. Laird Hamilton, Marcelo Garcia, Stewart Copeland), who train him for a final gauntlet. Shocking breakthroughs, injuries, epiphanies, and disasters ensue. In cases where he succeeds, Tim shows you how to replicate his results. The mantra of the show is "you don't need to be superhuman to get superhuman results…you just need a better toolkit."

Ferriss does it again!
I’m a fan of everything Tim does, his blog, the four hour work week, body, chef, and his podcast. What I have always been fascinated by is his amazing ability to acquire skills and accomplish amazing things. While this is deconstructed abstractly in 4HC, the show delivers exactly what I was looking for, specific examples of his learning process, so I can put his principles into practice developing the skills I care about that he hasn’t covered. If you watch this show you will gain some valuable insights into applying accelerated learning to your life. This show isn’t just excellent, it’s an investment toward living a remarkable life!
Boyish Struggle
From Tim’s books we all imagine he’s Superman by day and Batman by night. This experiment shows his humanity with a boyish struggle overcoming fear that we all feel when getting out of our comfort zone. It’s flat out awesome watching Tim’s vulnerability embracing the fear it and face it lifestyle.
All I hoped it would be and more
Tim kills it in this, as always. Breaking down the core principles of each topic, teaching and learning, then underlining it all with a fantastic story. This show is the pragmatic learner’s dream in 25 minutes. Already bought 4, about to buy the whole season. I want even more content, so get to watching, and get to buying!
