The Tim Ferriss Experiment

Overview

Entrepreneur, author, public speaker and start-up investor Tim Ferriss can add "reality TV show host" to his list of accomplishments. In "The Tim Ferriss Experiment," he applies his rapid-learning techniques -- he wrote about them in The New York Times best-seller "The 4-Hour Workweek" -- to tough-to-master tasks like parkour, rally car racing, playing drums at a rock concert, learning a language, and starting a new business. Ferriss believes nearly any skill can be mastered quickly if the teaching process is a sound one. To produce extraordinary results, he says, you don't need an unlimited budget; you just need a better tool kit.
