How Tim Ferriss Uses Deep Practice To Prepare for Big Speeches

Tim Ferriss has made a name for himself as a guru in the world of accelerated learning. Some of his “accelerations” are about hacking the system and taking short cuts by finding loopholes in the rules and doing things in unconventional ways, but his success is also due to the fact that he knows how to learn.

This month we’re featuring the Bottom-line on Daniel Coyle’s “The Talent Code,” and it’s all about how to learn. Daniel visited the top talent hotbeds in variety of different fields (music, art, education, sport) around the world and researched what they were all doing that enabled them to accelerate learning and create such solid talent so consistently, and The Talent Code is the compilation of what he found and a guide to how to learn.

How To Overcome Your Fears And Embrace Serendipity: An Interview With Chris & Cherie From Technomadia.com

I’ve had a bunch of people asking me to share examples of people who are living Agile lives so that you can see the Agile Living values in action. This video interview with Chris and Cherie from www.technomadia.com is part of a series of “Agile Profiles” that I’ll be sharing with you.

Adam and his family are a great example of folks who’ve dropped the “boxes and ladders” lifestyle and created a life based on what they love – and they’ve managed to do it with a toddler! So those of you who use children as an excuse for not doing what you’d love to, this one’s especially for you!

The video unfortunately came out rather poor quality, but luckily Adam is a lot clearer than me and he’s the focus anyway. For those of you who’d prefer to download the 40min interview and listen later on your ipod, you can download just the audio below.

Why Do You Want To Find Your Life Purpose?

I had a great conversation with Liv and Colleen from Get Real My Talk Radio 107.1 the other day (you can download it here), about discovering and living your life purpose, and I got to thinking that this idea that we need to discover our life purpose is a pretty pervasive one these days, and so a lot of us are on this big mission to find our life purpose. But did you ever stop and ask yourself what the purpose is of finding your life’s purpose?

How Much Pleasure And Play Are You Missing Since You Became A Grownup?
