  • To kick of our 11th orbit around the podcast sun, Neil deGrasse Tyson sits down for a one-on-one interview with author and entrepreneur ‪@timferriss‬. Tim is a well-known author with his works including The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Body, and The 4-Hour Chef as well as being an early-stage technology investor in top companies like Facebook, Uber, Duolingo, Alibaba, and more. Tim also has his own podcast aptly titled The Tim Ferriss Show.
    To start, we investigate Tim’s geek upbringings. You’ll hear about his fascination with sharks that led to his love for marine biology. We discuss his connection to Jaws. You’ll learn about Tim’s love for science fiction. We dive into the books Dune and Stranger in a Strange Land and explore how science fiction helps us think in different ways.
    Find out about Tim’s interest in neuroscience and how his family tree led him to explore more. Neil and Tim ponder the societal impact of psychedelics and why they might have been much more helpful if they weren’t made a Schedule 1 drug under the Nixon administration. Discover more about the writing process as Neil and Tim break down the creation of Tim’s books The 4-Hour Workweek and the 4-Hour Body. Tim tells us how he dealt with getting rejected by over 25 publishers. We also discuss the advantages of testing ideas and how Tim tested ideas for the titles of his books.
    You’ll hear about life hacking. Tim shares with us the value of meta learning. Lastly, get a glimpse of Tim’s inspirations as he shares who inspired him growing up, and in college, and who continues to inspire him today. All that, plus, we discuss Tim’s most recent book Tribe of Mentors which offers “short life advice from the best in the world.”

      Those interruptions can really get annoying sometimes.
      But then, I realized that he is just trying to make sure that EVERYONE who is listening, has understood the point being discussed.
      Also, occasionally he is just trying to crack a joke and few of those attempts don't go through
      In any case, he is my personal astrophysicist and I never miss an opportunity for listening to something and anything from Neil.

      @Zhixalom 4 года назад +2

      My bet is that a lot of people find the comedy to be what keeps it more down to earth casual, digestible and entertaining. But I often find it quite disruptive to the flow of Niels explanations, especially when he is presenting something in one of his uniquely interesting perspectives.

    Fascinating interview. I became an avid reader by the time I was 8, and got to read both "Stranger in a Strange Land", and "Dune" in my teens in the first editions, borrowed from the library. I still read a lot (currently "First Man" and a biography of Emperor Augustus) and mostly books from my local library. Libraries are a vital resource. Mine has a display of the latest books, both fiction and non-fiction. Since I retired I can get to the library in the mornings, and have worked out when they put out the new books. Recently I got hold of "She Said" the day the library got a copy!
    I agree with his comments about what the Nixon administration did to stop research into the therapeutic uses of psychedelics. The just ignored the fact that there were no uses at the time because there had not been enough research!

      I'm almost certain that StarTalk would be able to schedule an interview with Neil. Elon, one might think, wouldn't pass-up an opportunity to spread his (Dogmatic & Socioeconomic) views on Business, Economics, Ecology, *Insert any science that incipient's who are in the business of making money et al et, ad infinitum*!
      I've had the same thought about getting Mark Zuckerberg (founder, President & CEO of Facebook).
      The only "Curveball" I can think of that would be essentially out of the "Ordinary", may be the the "Avoidance" discussing some topics that could be presentable as inappropriate for that specific guest to converse about previous personal mistakes.
