Tim Ferriss: Seriousness is Kryptonite to Creativity - a podcast by Chase Jarvis

This week, I'm revisiting one of my favorite conversations with my good friend Tim Ferriss. For those of you who don’t already know, Tim is an entrepreneur, angel investor, author of 3 New York Times Best Sellers, and host of “The Tim Ferriss Show,” a podcast that receives millions of downloads each week.

Tim is widely considered a human guinea pig and has self-experimented his way through unfamiliar territory time and time again. He has a keen ability to simplify complicated systems into tangible, actionable steps showing us we truly can learn and do anything.

In this week’s episode, Tim and I discuss the importance of rigging the game of life in your favor. The feeling of winning is a precursor to winning on a large scale. So how can we give ourselves more of that feeling? 

We also get into:

• The compound effect of positive actions
• Setting realistic goals. Tim’s rule for writing is 2 crappy pages a day.
• Viewing that negative, nagging voice as an annoying roommate, one that you definitely do not have to listen to.
• Transcendental meditation, and how a medication practice can quiet that negative internal dialogue
• Positive constraints; learning to do more with less, so you’ll know how to do more with more.

And much more.

Enjoy!
