🎧 New podcast episode:
​Mark Zuckerberg on Long-Term Strategy, Business and Parenting Principles, Personal Energy Management, Building the Metaverse, Seeking Awe, the Role of Religion, Solving Deep Technical Challenges (e.g., AR), and More​

Mark Zuckerberg (FB/IG) is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Meta, which he originally founded as Facebook in 2004. Mark is responsible for setting the overall direction and product strategy for the company. In October 2021, Facebook rebranded to Meta to reflect all of its products and services across its family of apps and a focus on developing social experiences for the metaverse—moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.

He is also the co-founder and co-CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative with his wife Priscilla, which is leveraging technology to help solve some of the world’s toughest challenges—including supporting the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of the twenty-first century.

Mark studied computer science at Harvard University before moving to Palo Alto, California, in 2004.

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

Art I’m loving

“Of Trees, Tenderness, and the Moon: Hasui Kawase’s Stunning Japanese Woodblock Prints from the 1920s–1950s” by Maria Popova (@brainpicker). From the article: “Born into a Tokyo family of rope and thread merchants, Hasui Kawase (May 18, 1883–November 7, 1957) grew up dreaming of becoming an artist. His parents pressed him to continue in their path, but he persisted in following his own, drawing quiet inspiration from the example of his maternal uncle—the creator of the first manga magazine.”

What I’m watching

​The Most Reluctant Convert. I find C.S. Lewis, best known as author of The Chronicles of Narnia, endlessly fascinating. This film paints a rich picture of his life, and even though I don’t self-identify as religious and didn’t understand a few of the logical leaps, I was blown away by Max McLean’s (@MaxMcLeanNYC) performance. From the description: “Experience C.S. Lewis’ profound journey from vigorous debunker of Christianity to become, as he said, ‘the most reluctant convert in all England.’ Through Max McLean’s detailed and masterful performance, Lewis tells his story of grief, loss and redemption in his own magnificent words; and delivers the provocative, intellectual and spiritual insights that made him the most influential Christian writer of the past century.” See the trailer here.

What I’m listening to

“Body Yako (Instrumental)” (YouTube, Spotify) by Captain Planet (@ChuckWild).

What I’m reading and forwarding

“Patents on Psychedelics: The Next Legal Battlefront of Drug Development” by I. Glenn Cohen (@CohenProf) and Mason Marks (@MasonMarksMD) for the Harvard Law Review. Here is an excerpt:
​
​The issuance of low-quality patents on psychedelics reflects unique characteristics of these substances, their complex history and regulation, and systemic problems with the patent system. Though prior art repositories and patent pledges can be helpful, meaningful patent reform is necessary to prevent the granting of meritless psychedelic patents.
​
The existing patent framework often rewards those who patent “me-too drugs” that are insignificant advancements over existing therapies, reducing the public benefit received per research dollar spent. Copycat therapeutics not only lack novelty, but they have also failed to produce significant improvements in mental healthcare, as evidenced by rising rates of suicide and skyrocketing overdose deaths. Drug companies have recently applied this me-too approach to psychedelic experiences pioneered and revered by Indigenous communities.
​
Psychedelics may represent a paradigm shift for mental healthcare and the most promising solution to the mental health crisis. However, if a small number of companies secure wide swaths of intellectual property early on, then the beneficial impact of that shift may be blunted.
​
In this Essay we have set out a series of proposals for discouraging unwarranted patents in the psychedelics field, some radical, some less so. It is essential to have these conversations now, while the industry remains in its nascent stage. The political economy is such that once new players become large enough, they will have an outsized influence over potential changes to the law, especially those that threaten their dominant positions.

Quote I’m pondering

“I tell you: one must have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star.”
​— From Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
​

​
And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @tferriss and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.
​
Have a wonderful weekend, all.

Much love to you and yours,

P.S. Deal of the Week — Get your free LMNT Sample Pack—the healthy alternative to sugar-laden electrolyte drinks.

I’ve stocked up on boxes and boxes of LMNT, and I usually use 1–2 packs per day to add electrolytes. These days, as I’m logging more outdoor and hiking hours, LMNT has been critical. And if you’re on a low-carb diet, ketogenic diet, or using intermittent fasting, electrolytes are key for relieving headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. I add electrolytes for many reasons: because I over-hydrate compulsively while stuck at home (which dilutes electrolytes and leads me to feel tired), because I’m on a low-carb diet, because I’ve lost electrolytes through exercise, etc. It’s simply cheap insurance that tastes great.

Developed by Robb Wolf and his coaches, each serving delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes without the garbage—no sugar, no artificial ingredients, no coloring, no junk. LMNT is used by three Navy SEAL teams, as prescribed by their master chief, and 10+ NFL and NBA teams, and it is the Official Hydration Partner of Team USA Weightlifting. My favorite flavor is Citrus Salt, which, as a side note, you can use to make a kick-ass, no-sugar margarita. Watermelon is a close second, so I alternate the two.

​For a limited time, you can claim your free LMNT Sample Pack to try all 8 of their flavors—you only cover the cost of shipping ($5 for US customers). This special offer is available here >> DrinkLMNT.com/Tim.

​Susan Cain on Transforming Pain, Building Your Emotional Resilience, Exploring Sufi Wisdom, Tapping into Bittersweet Songs, and Seeking the Shards of Light​

Susan Cain (@susancain) is the author of Quiet Journal: Discover Your Secret Strengths and Unleash Your Inner Power, Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts, and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can’t Stop Talking, the latter of which spent eight years on the New York Times Best Sellers list and has been translated into 40 languages.

Susan’s first record-smashing TED Talk has been viewed more than 40 million times and was named by Bill Gates as one of his all-time favorite talks (and if you like that one, you should check out her most recent TED Talk with violinist Min Kym). LinkedIn named her the top sixth influencer in the world, just behind Richard Branson and Melinda Gates. Susan partners with Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Dan Pink to curate the Next Big Idea Club. They donate all of their proceeds to children’s literacy programs.

​This episode is brought to you by Pique! I first learned about Pique through my friends Dr. Peter Attia and Kevin Rose, and now Pique’s fermented pu’er tea crystals have become my daily go-to. I often kickstart my mornings with their Pu’er Green Tea and Pu’er Black Tea, and I alternate between the two. This rare type of naturally fermented tea is more concentrated in polyphenol antioxidants than any other tea—it supports focus and mental clarity, healthy digestion, metabolism, and a healthy immune system. Their crystals are cold extracted, using only wild-harvested leaves from 250-year-old tea trees. Plus, they triple toxin screen for heavy metals, pesticides, and toxic mold—contaminants commonly found in tea. I also use the crystals for iced tea, which saves a ton of time and hassle.

​Pique is offering up to 20% off of their pu’er teas, exclusively to my listeners. To sweeten the deal even more, you’ll get a free sampler pack with 6 of their best-selling teas. Simply visit PiqueLife.com/Tim, and the discount will be automatically applied. They also offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, so your purchase is completely risk free. Just go to PiqueLife.com/Tim to learn more.

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

What I’m putting on nearly everything

​Yellowbird’s habanero sauce. This stuff is magical and crafted right in my backyard of Austin. The last time I featured Yellowbird in 5BF, you seemed to love them in a big way. Here’s the official description: “Meet the cult classic that’s now 100% organic with no added sugars! Our organic habanero condiment boasts a flavorful, balanced heat with a complex blend of organic habanero peppers, carrots, and tangerines.”

What I’m watching

​La La Land (Amazon, YouTube, Apple TV, Google Store). This movie is outstanding. I held off for a few years, despite the many recommendations from friends, because I’m largely allergic to musicals. Chew through that and you’ll be rewarded. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling (@RyanGosling) are beyond talented. Multi-hyphenate doesn’t do either of them justice. If you liked Whiplash, this is also from Damien Chazelle, the same writer-director. From Wikipedia: “It won a record-breaking seven awards from its seven nominations at the 74th Golden Globes and received eleven nominations at the 70th British Academy Film Awards, winning five, including Best Film. The film also received a record-tying fourteen nominations at the 89th Academy Awards, winning in six categories, including Best Actress for Stone and Best Director for Chazelle.” Find the trailer here.

What I’m listening to again

“Tres Deseos - Sesiones de Estudio (En Vivo)” by Churupaca (@churupacaoficial). If you listen to this a few times, it will get stuck in your head… and that’s a good thing. Find the lyrics in the video description.

What my foundation is supporting

​Fireside Project. Official description: “Fireside Project’s Psychedelic Peer Support Line offers free, confidential peer support by phone and text message to people in the midst of psychedelic experiences, people holding space for others who are in the midst of psychedelic experiences, and people integrating past psychedelic experiences.” The line is available daily from 3 PM to 3 AM PT at 62-FIRESIDE (623-473-7433), and it has been featured in Esquire, Forbes, Rolling Stone, and others.

Quote I’m pondering

“That’s L.A. They worship everything and they value nothing.”
​— Sebastian Wilder in La La Land, played by Ryan Gosling​

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

You’d like an extra bullet this week you say? Done. This edition features an extra bullet because I couldn’t resist.

What I’m using and loving

“How to tie the Marathon Knot.” Following a recent ski injury, I’ve had some neurological pain in my right foot. I notice it as shooting pain in the second toe when I go from sitting to standing. One of my doctors suggested this could be partially a result of an overtightened toe box at the front of my shoes, and he suggested trying this lacing technique. I immediately felt better. It’s not cured, but it’s substantially improved. Sometimes it’s the simple things, eh?

What I’m playing

​Secret Hitler. From the description: “Secret Hitler is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930s Germany. Players are secretly divided into two teams—liberals and fascists. Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.” This is a really fun board game, but it requires a minimum of five players. Any great recommendations for games that can be played well with 3–4 players? Please let me know @tferriss on Twitter.

My first and possibly only foray into TikTok

​No children were harmed in the making of this video… I’ve never been on TimTok until now. I don’t expect to make it a habit, but this was fun to put together. Pro tip: being bald makes the BritBrit hair toss a lot harder on the neck. Secret Hitler may or may not have been introduced to me by someone in this video.

What I’m excited about

​Moonbirds. Kevin Rose (@KevinRose), my nutty brother from another mother, is at it again. He’s been cooking this up with an entire team for some time, and I imagine there are surprises in store. Moonbirds are “a collection of 10,000 utility-enabled PFPs [profile picture NFTs] that feature a richly diverse and unique pool of rarity-powered traits. What’s more, each Moonbird unlocks private club membership and additional benefits the longer you hold [or ‘nest’] them.” If you missed our newest Random Show episode this week, you can find it here.

What I’m reading and sharing

“Can the Clever Use of Old Legal Strategies Thwart Psychedelic Monopolies?”

Quote I’m pondering

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”
​— Attributed to Rabindranath Tagore​
​(Thank you to Terry Crews for sharing this one.)
​

​
And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @tferriss and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.
​
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
​
Much love to you and yours,
​
Tim

P.S. Deal of the Week — Ascent Protein.

Ever since I wrote The 4-Hour Body, starting my day with ~30 grams of protein has been an essential part of my routine. I’ve been using Ascent’s whey protein for the last several years, and I recently tried their new plant-based protein. I’ve experimented with many other plant-based proteins, and most compromise on taste or efficacy, but Ascent Plant Protein is delicious and provides 25 grams of protein with 4 grams of BCAAs to support muscle health. To ensure their product tastes great, Ascent verified it with third-party consumer research, and it won on taste and texture against the market leader. What’s more, it’s made from organic, real-food sources like organic pea, pumpkin, and sunflower and contains zero artificial ingredients, artificial sweeteners, or added sugars. Visit AscentProtein.com/Tim and use the code 20TFASCENT, and you’ll receive 20% off of your entire purchase. This code is valid on their website and on Amazon.com. If you want a quick dose of protein to start your day or end a workout, this is a great option. Enjoy!

​This episode is brought to you by JuneShine! You don’t know it yet, but JuneShine’s going to be your new go-to happy-hour drink. Consistent with their tagline, “organic hard kombucha for a brighter buzz,” I do get a nice buzz, as it sports a hefty 6% ABV (alcohol by volume), but 1–2 drinks doesn’t punish me with a nasty hangover. I enjoy grabbing a can of JuneShine in the late afternoon after a workday or when hanging with friends on the weekend. You’ve also heard me drinking JuneShine in a few Random Show episodes with Kevin Rose. Grapefruit Paloma might be my personal favorite flavor, but I usually grab a Sampler Pack and rotate.
​
​JuneShine is made with organic ingredients, and it is naturally gluten-free. As a listener of The Tim Ferriss Show, you can get an exclusive discount: receive 20% off your first purchase, plus free shipping on any orders over $75. Simply use code TIM at checkout.

This episode is also brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system.

Right now, Athletic Greens is offering you their Vitamin D Liquid Formula free with your first subscription purchase—a vital nutrient for a strong immune system and strong bones. Visit AthleticGreens.com/Tim to claim this special offer today and receive the free Vitamin D Liquid Formula (and five free travel packs) with your first subscription purchase!

In this one we discuss the books that we are currently reading, outdated behaviors, healing with men’s groups, masculinity, Kevin’s new Moonbirds project (a collection of 10,000 utility-enabled PFPs), my first NFT, and much, much more.

​This episode is also brought to you by Ascent Protein! Ever since I wrote The 4-Hour Body, starting my day with ~30 grams of protein has been an essential part of my routine. I’ve been using Ascent’s whey protein for the last several years, and I recently tried their new plant-based protein. I’ve experimented with many other plant-based proteins, and most compromise on taste or efficacy, but Ascent Plant Protein is delicious and provides 25 grams of protein with 4 grams of BCAAs to support muscle health.
​
To ensure their product tastes great, Ascent verified it with third-party consumer research, and it won on taste and texture against the market leader.

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

What I’m watching

“Mentalism, mind reading and the art of getting inside your head” by Derren Brown (@derrenbrown). If that whets your appetite, follow it up with “The Events: How to Be a Psychic Spy” by Derren. I’m very keen to learn more about mentalism. Can anyone suggest a “curriculum” or great way of learning? Please send me a note on Twitter using @tferriss and #mentalism if so!

What I’m studying

​Drunken monkey hypothesis. From Wikipedia: “[The Drunken monkey hypothesis] proposes that human attraction to ethanol may derive from dependence of the primate ancestors of Homo sapiens on ripe and fermenting fruit as a dominant food source.” Thanks to Dr. Mark Plotkin (@DocMarkPlotkin) for introducing me to this hypothesis. Learn more about Mark here.

What I’ll be practicing outdoors this summer

“AcroYoga with Chelsey Korus and Matt Giordano.” This video has 1M+ views for a reason, and the sequences make me want to dive back into AcroYoga. For a good overview of the fundamentals, check out co-founder Jason Nemer’s book, Move, Connect, Play: The Art and Science of AcroYoga. You can also watch my video interview with him here.

What I’m listening to

Soft: “Ave Cruz” (YouTube, Spotify) by Céu (@ceumusic). Caramel and velvet for winding down.
​Hard: “Blood from a Stone” (YouTube, Spotify) by Sevendust (@Sevendust). Sonic hammer for winding up.

Question I am once again revisiting

“How am I complicit in creating the conditions I say I don’t want?” (Click to see thread and discussion.) ​
​— Jerry Colonna
​

​
And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @tferriss and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.
​
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
​
Much love to you and yours,
​
Tim

P.S. Deal of the Week — JuneShine!

You don’t know it yet, but JuneShine’s going to be your new favorite happy-hour drink. Consistent with their tagline, “organic hard kombucha for a brighter buzz,” I do get a nice buzz. It sports a hefty 6% ABV (alcohol by volume), but 1–2 drinks doesn’t punish me with a nasty hangover.

You’ve also heard me drinking JuneShine in a few Random Show episodes with Kevin Rose. I’ll be trying the Mango Daydream next, but I often grab a Sampler Pack and rotate. I keep very little booze in my house, but JuneShine easily makes the cut.

🎧 New podcast episode:
​Terry Crews — His Journey to True Power​

Terry Crews (@terrycrews) can do it all: author, action-movie hero, sitcom star, children’s book illustrator, advertising pitchman, playable video game character, talent show host, high-end furniture designer, and human rights activist. The list goes on and on.

Terry’s new memoir is Tough: My Journey to True Power. In it, he chronicles the story of how he went from being a six-year-old boy with a goofy, toothless smile to being utterly selfish and angry to being a man who can finally acknowledge his own weaknesses and vulnerabilities and use his experiences to help motivate those around him.

Terry has starred as a series regular in three consecutive TV series that have surpassed the coveted 100-episode mark: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Are We There Yet?, and Everybody Hates Chris. Terry is set to star in Tales of the Walking Dead and hosts NBC’s top-rated alternative series America’s Got Talent and its spin-offs, AGT Champions and AGT Extreme.

He recently added yet another title, children’s book illustrator, to his resume for his first-of-its-kind augmented reality book, Come Find Me. Terry’s Crew is Terry’s latest children’s lit entry, a graphic novel set to be released in November 2022. Terry’s Crew provides insight into his childhood in Michigan and what it was like trying to find his place. In 2021, Terry and his wife, Rebecca King Crews, released an exclusive Audible audiobook, Stronger Together, sharing the staggering ups and downs of their relationship and how they have weathered the myriad crises that have rocked their marriage.
​
Terry, a lifelong artist, released his furniture collection with Bernhardt Designs in 2017, which premiered at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York and was awarded the prestigious “Best of NeoCon 2017.”

​The Path to Better Thinking Through Puzzles and Riddles​

The following is a guest post from A.J. Jacobs (@ajjacobs), a bestselling author, journalist, and human guinea pig. It is excerpted from his new book The Puzzler: One Man’s Quest to Solve the Most Baffling Puzzles Ever, from Crosswords to Jigsaws to the Meaning of Life.

Enter A.J....

My father was the one to introduce me to math puzzles.

He didn’t focus on the traditional kind. His were weirder than that, more homegrown. My dad’s greatest joy comes from baffling unsuspecting people—strangers, friends, family, whomever—and he often accomplishes this with math-based hijinks.

One time, when I was about eight years old, I asked my dad how fast race cars went. This was before Google, so my father was my version of a search engine.

“The fastest ones get up to about 50 million,” my dad said.

Even to my unschooled mind, 50 million miles per hour seemed off.

“That doesn’t sound right,” I said.

“Yes it is,” he said. “50 million fathoms per fortnight.”

I just stared at him.

“Oh, you wanted miles per hour?” my dad said. “I thought you meant in fathoms per fortnight.”

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

Twitter thread I’m enjoying

“No one knows how to actually learn a foreign language. I have been aggressively studying Spanish over the next month before I fly to Spain. Wanted to share a breakdown of what I’ve been doing, and how it differs from school...” by Jack Raines. For those who would like to explore language learning further, these posts will give you new tools and tricks for faster acquisition.

What I’m prepping to cook

​Hot Rock Steak and Chimichurri Sauce by Remi Warren.

What I’m listening to

“My Friend” (YouTube, Spotify) by Groove Armada (@GrooveArmada).

Series I’m watching

​Old Enough!. This is a Scooby Snack for all the Japanophiles out there. These 10–15-minute episodes are perfect as emergency pick-me-ups. Here’s the description: “Children go on errands all by themselves for the very first time as a camera crew follows along in this beloved, long-running reality show from Japan.” Hat tip to JZ for this gem. いつもお世話になっております, JZ-kun!

Quote I’m pondering

“The mind should be kept independent of any thoughts that arise within it. If the mind depends upon anything, it has no sure haven.”
​— The Diamond Sutra​
​

​
And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @tferriss and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.
​
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
​
Much love to you and yours,
​
Tim

P.S. Deal of the Week — UCAN!

Energy management is much more important than time management; it’s the foundation of nearly everything. Sugary energy bars and drinks provide brief boosts but inevitably lead to a crash that leaves you feeling unfocused and unmotivated. Several years ago, my friend Peter Attia, MD, introduced me to UCAN for sustained energy and performance. UCAN is a breakthrough, plant-based energy alternative that unlocks your natural ability to stay focused and calm—no more getting “hangry”—while providing the energy you need to meet your daily challenges.
​
Their products have a unique time-release profile, delivering long-lasting energy without the blood-sugar highs and lows of typical “energy” products. Controlling your blood sugar promotes numerous health and performance benefits, such as better cognitive function and sleep, hunger control, improved athletic performance, and overall enhanced well-being.
​
​UCAN is one of my go-to solutions for lasting energy and focus. Many readers and listeners have already found that it helps them reach their goals at home, at work, in the gym, and wherever else they want to be at their best. For a limited time, UCAN is offering 30% off your first order when you use code TIMUCAN at checkout. If you’re looking for a place to start, check out UCAN.co/Tim to see some of my favorite products and learn more.

🎧 New podcast episode:
​Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine Fame — Fear{less} with Tim Ferriss​

Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life.

You’ll get plenty of that in this special episode, which features my interview with Tom Morello from my 2017 TV Show Fear{less}. The “less” is in parentheses because the objective is to teach you to fear less, not to be fearless.

Fear{less} features in-depth, long-form conversations with top performers, focusing on how they’ve overcome fears and made hard decisions, embracing discomfort and thinking big.

It was produced by Wild West Productions, and I worked with them to make both the video and audio available to you for free, my dear listeners. You can find the video of this episode on YouTube.com/TimFerriss, and eventually you’ll be able to see all episodes for free at YouTube.com/TimFerriss.

Spearheaded by actor/producer and past podcast guest Vince Vaughn, Wild West Productions has produced a string of hit movies including The Internship, Couples Retreat, Four Christmases, and The Break-Up.

In 2020, Wild West produced the comedy The Opening Act, starring Jimmy O. Yang and Cedric The Entertainer. In addition to Fear{less}, their television credits include Undeniable with Joe Buck, ESPN’s 30 for 30 episode about the ’85 Bears, and the Netflix animated show F is for Family.

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

What I’m reading

“103 Bits of Advice I Wish I Had Known” by Kevin Kelly (@kevin2kelly). Last week, Kevin Kelly, arguably the real-life most interesting man in the world, turned 70 and shared another round of excellent advice. For more KK life tips, see his “68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice” from 2020 and “99 Additional Bits of Unsolicited Advice” from 2021.
​“It’s Time to Rage” by Roxane Gay (@rgay) (The New York Times).

Live interview I’m inviting you to

​This upcoming Monday, May 9th, join me as I interview scientist Dr. Suresh Muthukumaraswamy. Suresh is an associate professor at the University of Auckland, and we will explore psychedelic medicine applications to mental health, experimentation in NZ vs. the US, and much more. Suresh’s expertise includes various hallucinogens (e.g., ketamine, LSD, psilocybin), microdosing studies, and neuroimaging the effects of ketamine in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Think of this interview as a free, live podcast. Sign up for free here. If that main page is confusing, click here for the direct link to sign up. All you need to do is type in your name and email address. We are also hoping to have some time for Q&A from the audience.
​​
​It starts Monday at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT, it will last ~90 minutes, and it’s completely free. Special thanks to the Edmund Hillary Fellowship for hosting and organizing. Since EHF and Suresh are based in New Zealand, all time zones and dates indicated on the website are in New Zealand Standard Time, but US times are Monday at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT. Please click here to register to attend.

Podcast episode I’m listening to

“Sam Bankman-Fried and Matt Levine on How to Make Money in Crypto” on Odd Lots (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast). This takes 10–15 minutes to really warm up, but it covers a lot of excellent ground. It gets into some nitty-gritty finance stuff, but if you don’t understand a segment, keep listening and it will usually segue within a few minutes. Here’s the episode description: “The price of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have been moving sideways for a while. But it doesn’t seem like there’s any slowdown in terms of money entering the space. Every day, some new fund is being launched or some legacy financial institution is diving into it. But what’s all this money going to do? On this episode, we speak with Sam Bankman-Fried (@sbf_ftx), the CEO and co-founder of FTX, as well as Bloomberg Opinion columnist Matt Levine (@matt_levine) about the moneymaking opportunities that people are exploiting, whether it’s directional bets on coins or yield farming or arbitrage, and how much potential profit there is for the taking.”

What I’m preparing for you all

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of The 4-Hour Workweek, which was first published on April 24th, 2007 (4/24/07), I am signing and giving away 424 copies of the book! To toss your hat in the ring, please fill out this form before 11:59 PM PT on Tuesday, May 10th, 2022, and my team will select 424 folks at random as lucky winners. My team will notify the winners no later than next Friday at 5 PM PT. A few copies might be slightly damaged from shipping, but consider that a feature and not a bug… some are the early 2007 edition that have traveled with me since publication!

Quotes I’m pondering

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”​
— Attributed to Oscar Wilde
​​
​“You can’t forgive without loving. And I don’t mean sentimentality. I don’t mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it.’”​
— Maya Angelou​

🎧 New podcast episode:
​Dennis McKenna — An Ethnopharmacologist on Hallucinogens, Sex-Crazed Cicadas, The Mushrooms of Language, BioGnosis, and Illuminating Obscure Corners​

Dennis McKenna (@DennisMcKenna4) has spent more than 40 years researching the interdisciplinary study of Amazonian ethnopharmacology and plant hallucinogens. He has conducted extensive ethnobotanical fieldwork in the Peruvian, Colombian, and Brazilian Amazon.

His doctoral research at the University of British Columbia focused on the ethnopharmacology of ayahuasca and oo-koo-he, two tryptamine-based hallucinogens used by indigenous peoples in the Northwest Amazon.

He is a founding board member of the Heffter Research Institute and was a key organizer and participant in the Hoasca Project, the first biomedical investigation of ayahuasca used by the UDV, a Brazilian religious group. He is the younger brother of Terence McKenna.

From 2000 to 2017, he taught courses on ethnopharmacology as well as Plants in Human Affairs at the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota. In 2019, in collaboration with colleagues, he incorporated a nonprofit, the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy. Currently, the Academy has several projects underway, with the most immediate being preparations for an upcoming conference in the UK May 23rd–26th, ESPD55, which will cover a wide range of topics related to psycho-ethnopharmacology and feature an exclusive, pre-release screening of the McKenna Academy’s first short documentary, BioGnosis, Bridges to Ancestral Wisdom.

Dennis emigrated to Canada in the spring of 2019 with his wife Sheila and now resides in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

What I’m watching

​This short and mesmerizing video, thanks to Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt). Be sure to watch through the finale.

What I’m reading

“The Best Treatment for Insomnia Usually Isn’t a Pill” by Cyril Manning (UCSF Magazine), which includes the work of Jennifer Felder, PhD (@jenniferfelder), Aric Prather, PhD (@aricprather), and Andrew Krystal, MD. This article covers the interplay of insomnia and depression, CBT-I, as well as two associated apps. Both apps, though seemingly clinically effective, appear quite cumbersome to access. Have you found a nondrug sleep aid that has helped cure your insomnia? If so, please let me know @tferriss on Twitter with #sleep!

What I’m using with my dog

​Slow-Feed Stainless Steel Bowl. My dear Molly pup has a lot of superpowers, but eating slowly is not one of them. Every two weeks or so, she’ll manically Hoover her food and puke it onto the floor a few minutes later. Not my favorite. This new bowl has totally fixed the problem. No one likes the scarf and barf! For some recent Molly photos that don’t involve barfing, click here and here.

Twitter features I’m learning more about

“The most powerful feature that Twitter has: Advanced search.” Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey (@jack) commented on this thread and said, “twitter search is my favorite feature (and undervalued).” Thanks to JZ for sending this to me.

Quote I’m pondering

“It seems to me that the real problem is the mind itself, and not the problem which the mind has created and tries to solve. If the mind is petty, small, narrow, limited, however great and complex the problem may be, the mind approaches that problem in terms of its own pettiness.”
​— Jiddu Krishnamurti​

P.S. Deal of the Week — Eight Sleep Pod Pro Cover!

Good sleep is one of the keys to unlocking your maximum potential. More than 30% of Americans struggle with sleep, and I’m a member of that sad group. Temperature is one of the main causes of poor sleep, and heat is my nemesis. I’ve suffered for decades, tossing and turning, throwing blankets off, pulling them back on, and repeating ad nauseam. Now, there’s a simple way to sleep at the perfect temperature, and it’s a device I use myself—the Pod Pro Cover by Eight Sleep. It pairs dynamic cooling and heating with biometric tracking to offer the most advanced (and user-friendly) solution on the market. I’ve been using it for more than a year. Add the Pod Pro Cover to your current mattress and start sleeping as cool as 55°F or as hot as 110°F. It also splits your bed in half, so your partner can choose a totally different temp. The technology adjusts the temperature of each side of the bed based on your sleep stages, biometrics, and bedroom temperature, reacting intelligently to create the optimal sleeping environment. The result: Eight Sleep users fall asleep up to 32% faster, reduce sleep interruptions by up to 40%, and get more restful sleep overall. Eight Sleep is offering subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday a very special and early Memorial Day offer to save $350 off(!) of the Pod Pro Cover. This offer is valid until 11:59 PM ET on May 22nd. Click here to claim this deal and unlock your full potential through optimal sleep.
