Amid all the powerhouse, brilliant thinkers Tim Ferriss has interviewed for his podcast and book Tools of Titans, one idea kept springing up: cultivating empty space in the mind.
A second concept, by contrast, came up only once, through conversations with Joshua Waitzkin, an American chess prodigy who takes an ‘endgame’ approach to every pursuit he undertakes.
Ferriss explains these two ideas in detail, why they’re so vital, and how they can be applied across many fields - from cooking to creating a startup.

I hadn’t realised, but chess is a pretty good practical analogy for understanding game theory principles
I get it . I have deleted all my news apps ! The crap was driving me looney . Stressed out to the max
👍
Awesome 💯
Thank you! Cheers!
I find it hilarious that Tim has every anecdote under the sun from productive business people yet has contributed next to nothing on his own to society. Awesome that people have been inspired by him- but we need more motivational doers than motivational speakers.
You described my feelings precisely. He's made me feel like that since I read his first book. The man is a walking summary of other people's ideas with 3x the conviction and 0 experience.
@@RedIria I appreciate knowing there is at least one other person who shares my sentiments. I cant help but get angry when I see him on podcasts and talking with experts in other fields who are treating him like he is of their caliber when he really is a money addicted adrenaline junkie who moves on to the next thing because it makes him money and hes 'bored'
Amazing episode with one of the most amazing character I know!
So glad you liked it!

ok, but has Josh Waitzkin actually achieved something to back up his theory, or does he believe getting lost in this process for his whole life is the achievement? I think Magnus Carlsen was taught the openings rather than the end game, too. you need to be born with it. then use any techniques you want, but not a single one will somehow materialise what should already be there.
