EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Q&A with Tim — Tools for Better Sleep, Musings on Parenting, The Different Roles of Fear, The Delight of Deepening Friendships, The Purpose of College, How to Boost Your Mood, HRV Training, and More | Brought to you by Athletic Greens all-in-one nutritional supplement (http://athleticgreens.com/tim), GiveWell.org charity research and effective giving (http://givewell.org/), and Eight Sleep’s Pod Pro Cover sleeping solution for dynamic cooling and heating (http://eightsleep.com/Tim). Show Notes: https://tim.blog/2021/12/22/qa-with-tim-sleep-parenting-fear/ Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show. This time, we have a slightly different format, and I’m the guest. As some of you know, I tested a “fan-supported model” in 2019, but I ended up returning to ads by request. That’s a long story, and you can read more about it at tim.blog/podcastexperiment. I recently sat down with the supporter group for a fun and live Q&A on YouTube. I answered questions on plantar fasciitis relief, manga-assisted language learning and retention, breathing exercises, wolf conservation, parenting ambitions, VR therapy, mood and energy remedies, post-pandemic social reintroduction, the value of college, favorite wrestling movies, and much, much more. Please enjoy!
