Estes excertos estão presentes na primeira parte do livro, que aborda temas relacionados com a Saúde.
Como mencionado num artigo anterior, este livro é uma coleção de ideias retiradas do podcast de Tim Ferriss. Neste programa foram entrevistadas centenas (se não milhares) de pessoas e, como tal, o livro está dividido por entrevistas. Neste artigo o nome do entrevistado aparece a negrito e a informação abaixo diz respeito à sua participação no podcast.
Amelia Boone
“I’m not the strongest. I’m not the fastest. But I’m really good at suffering.”
What would you put on a billboard?
“No one owes you anything.”
Rhonda Patrick
“Two 20-minute sauna sessions at 80ºC (176ºF) separated by a 30-minute cooling period elevated growth hormone levels two-fold over baseline. Whereas, two 15-minute dry-heat sessions at 100ºC (212ºF) separated by a 30-minute cooling period resulted in a five-fold increase in growth hormone... The growth hormone effects generally persist for a couple hours post-sauna.”
Christopher Sommer
“If you want to be a stud later, you have to be a pud now.”
“You’re not responsible for the hand of cards you were dealt. You’re responsible for maxing out what you were given.”
Dominic D’Agostino
WHY CONSIDER FASTING?
“If you don’t have cancer and you do a therapeutic fast 1 to 3 times per year, you could purge any precancerous cells that may be living in your body.”
“There is also evidence to suggest – skipping the scientific detail – that fasts of 3 days or longer can effectively “reboot” you immune system via stem cell – based regeneration. Dom suggests a 5-day fast 2 to 3 times per year.” – Tim Ferriss
Joe de Sena
Do you have any quotes you live your life by or think of often?
“It could always be worse.”
WIM “THE ICEMAN”
“Breathe, motherfucker!” – Wim’s answer to “What would you put on a billboard?”
He is the creator of the Wim Hof Method and hols more than 20 world records.
COLD IS A GREAT PURIFYING FORCE
“It can improve immune function, increase fat loss (partially by increasing levels of the hormone adiponectin), and dramatically elevate mood.” – Tim Ferriss
“Simply make the last 30 to 60 seconds of your shower pure cold.” – Tim Ferriss
Jason Nemer
What do you believe that other people think is insane?
“That you can trust people. You can trust a lot of people. You don’t have to live in fear of strangers. Strangers are just people you haven’t flown yet. It seems crazy to me that, in many cultures, we teach our children to fear and not talk to strangers.”
“I assume the best in people. I assume that I can trust them until they prove me wrong. When you do this practice enough, trusting is like a muscle that you flex.”
What would you put on a billboard?
“Play” Play more. I feel like people are so serious, and it doesn’t take much for people to drop back into the wisdom of a childlike playfulness. If I had to prescribe two things to improve health and happiness in the world, it’d be movement and play. Because you can’t really play without moving, so they’re interwined.”
PETER ATTIA
“There is value in exercise, though, and I think that the most important type of exercise, especially in terms of bang for your buck, is going to be really high-intensity, heavy strength training. Strength training aids everything from glucose disposal and metabolic health to mitochondrial density and orthopaedic stability.”
PAVEL TSATSOULINE
BASIC TENETS FOR STRENGTH
“Strength is the mother quality of all physical qualities.”
“Strength is a skill, and, as such, it must be practiced.”
“If you are training for strength, you want to try and avoid the burn altogether. The burn is your enemy.”
“Training is something that should be enjoyed.”
LAIRD HAMILTON, GABBY REECE & BRIAN MACKENZIE
TF: People are nicer than they look, but you have to go first.
THE INSPIRATION OF DON WILDMAN
GABBY: “The other thing Don does that’s very genius... is he solicits people to be in his group because no man can really do it alone. So he always has these guys around him, most of them quite a bit younger.”
“A LONELY PLACE IS AN UNMOTIVATED PLACE”
LAIRD: “All you flexible people should go bang some iron, and all you big weight lifters should go do some yoga...”
JAMES FADIMAN
“If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.” – Lao Tzun
KELLY STARRETT
“IF YOU CAN’D BREATHE, YOU DON’T KNOW THY POSITION.”
“ONE TACTIC FOR CHRONIC PAIN – USE A CLOSE COUSIN OF THE MOVEMENT THAT INJURED YOU”
PAUL LEVESQUE (TRIPLE H)
“Kids don’t do what you say. They do what they see. How you live your life is their example.”
IS THAT A DREAM OR A GOAL?
“Because a dream is something you fantasize about that will probably never happen. A goal is something you set a plan for, work toward, and achieve.”
“The people who were successful models to me were people who had structured goals and then put a plan in place to get to those things.”
