In this Tim Ferriss interview, Ferriss talks a lot about the power of asking better questions. Are you asking the right questions in your life – both of other people and yourself?

Phase I
Inspired by book suggestions in Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss, I began creating yearly 52-book reading lists of books I want to read. To help me remember these books, I began covering each book in the project’s podcast.
Phase II
I have made a list of 200 of The Great Books and will begin reading them in order from oldest to newest around December 2022. My goal is to finish by the year 2030.
