Catching Up With Tim Ferriss
My last encounter with Ferriss was in 2016, with his book, "Tools of Titans," which I picked up in a book store in an Australian airport bookstore in an effort of dispose of the last my local currency before heading back to states. Again, a pleasant read, basically a compilation of transcripts of his many podcasts with celebs, over-achievers and even an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
His life has kind of settled down now, but he still runs his podcast, The Tim Ferriss show. His latest high-profile score was actor Hugh Jackman, who he must have snagged age 51, during one of Jackman's rare down times. Jackman, now 57, is busier than ever, currently involved in several projects, including starring in the upcoming film "Deadpool 3" alongside Ryan Reynolds. Jackman is reprising his iconic role as Wolverine, which has generated significant excitement. He recently completed a successful run in the Broadway musical "The Music Man." Here is a snippet of the interview:
"When you first pour a glass of water, it’s cloudy. And then, in a period of time, that all settles, and you see crystal clear through the glass, through the water. That’s what meditation does for me. It’s got that feeling where things drop down. I have a feeling of coming home, the feeling of experiencing my true self and not just being caught up in the monkey mind or being reactive to life. And it gives me a finer energy. I don’t always get out of meditation, like, ready to, you know, do a one-hour Peloton class, but I always come out with a finer energy. My intention feels clearer. My listening is more purposeful, and things feel easier and more connected."
I'm sure Ferriss will get a lot of mileage out of that interview, like he did with Schwarzenegger. I'll visit him again in a couple years.
