From afar, Tim Ferriss appears to be someone who has figured out life and achieved so much to the extent that he spends most of his time trying to help others be the best they can be.

Join us as we take a look at his life and all he has been able to achieve so far.
Tim Ferriss Biography (Age)
On the 20th of July, 1977, in East Hampton, New York, Tim Ferriss was born to low-income parents whose names are not known. As the story goes, Ferriss’ parents did not make or have much money, which means that they were not able to give their child everything that he wanted. But they, however, made sure to always buy books for him to read, something that he said helped develop his love for learning.
At around the age of 8, his mother enrolled him for wrestling classes because he was bullied a lot by other kids due to his size. With the help of his grandparents and academic scholarships, Ferriss was able to attend St. Paul’s School, an elite Concord New Hampshire boarding school. While there, he was able to spend a year in Japan as an exchange student. His experience in the East Asian country sparked his interest in learning about other cultures. As a result of this, he decided to pursue a degree in East Asian Studies at Princeton University.
During his time at Princeton, Tim Ferriss became disillusioned with life as he suffered from depression and contemplated suicide. He eventually decided to take a year off, which he spent in China working odd jobs and teaching Japanese, before returning to graduate in 2000. After his graduation, Ferriss worked in the sales department of a data storing company before deciding to move to Silicon Valley, California to start his company, and the rest became history.

His notable works include The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Body, The 4-Hour Chef, Tools of Titans, and Tribe of Mentors.
