Maybe it's just random that he found those people interesting and others not.

Or there is generally a bigger amount of successful men than women...

Worst review ever.

There's probably a good reason for that...

Harper Bliss, do us all a favor and keep your dumb reviews to yourself.

Harper, Thank you for your review; I follow you on ŷ������ and other websites. I thoroughly enjoy reading your books, and I always appreciate your wonderful reviews, ratings and comments.

I had the same thought. People live in their bubbles. And it is still a mans world. Sadly.

Why do people get so angry when you mention we live in a patriarchy? Like it's not obvious. Thank you for your review. It seemed geared towards men as well in my opinion

Hi, I totally agree with you - thanks for your comment. 😊

A glaring flaw with Tim and his worldview is that he is more concerned with being 'successful' than being woke. Some of the people he normalizes in this book have said very disturbing things in other venues (eg. Thiel). Reading "Titans" with it's techbro source in mind makes it even more enlightening.

Have you heard of Tim's original word 'bigoteer'?

I didn't count but I certainly noticed the discrepancy. It is disappointing but I figure since Tim interviews people to enhance his performance and life (and this book is his set of notes for himself), it's not surprising he would mainly profile other men.

You people are so ridiculous. It is absolutely pathetic that you preoccupy yourselves more with the gender of the people mentioned in the book rather than all the lessons that can be learned from them.

Apparently, you are having a problem being respectful; it seems you are out of your depth here. Dear, this is ŷ������ not Twitter; if you don't like a review and others' comments, please move on.

Balls

It's that way for a reason... lol

The best is to write one,s own book. People write books the way that please s them.

I agree, Harper. Noticed that too.

Sometimes it’s not the messenger who sends the bad message, it’s the receiver that takes the bad message. Maybe a case of this here?... ;)

Personally, I didn’t take into account the gender of all the guests. I greatly enjoyed all of them. I’m not sure if I can even remember whether the lessons I picked up were from men or women.

So gender = merit?

Anyone else notice Erin Winecroft is a jerk? She (or he?) doesn't like that Harper made an observation? And on her/his profile there are no books read, and one other comment asking if someone is "triggered". What a great person Erin seems to be!

He also reaches out to people and not always do they agree to be in books

actually your white knight shitty review convinced me to buy the book, thank you

coincidence - his previous Tribe of mentors is PACKED with women...

His new book (tribe of mentors) has a good number of women in it...kick-ass ones too. :) I didn’t count or compare ratios though.

Pointing out a fact should not be grounds for being attacked for a review. The fact is the world won't change if women are continually overlooked, and if you don't believe that is all around you, then you weren't interested in facts in the first place.

All of you equality of outcome ideologues are complete scum. Men are overlooked when it comes to war or the current suicide rate. Shall we try to make those statistics equal as well?

Thank you for sharing Harper. The comment section seems hell.... What's wrong with these people not believing in gender equality?

The book is about successful people fact there are more successful men than woman thank you your retarded review have inspired me to go down and buy the book

There's more women working as prostitutes and in the porn industry. Those bloody entitled morons. We should protest this as it's so unfair.

wow! Such anger about a valid point. I'm sorry you have to deal with these rabid responses, Harper.

You could probably say the same about other demographic representation - blacks, Asians, LGBT etc. In reality it’s just a reflection of his circles (west coast, tech/start-up founders)

This is the dumbest review I've read since I'm in ŷ������.

I noticed that the majority of the interviewed are white people that means Tim Ferris is racissss!!

Ugh good to know.

Feminists are every where these days, seesh!

That quickly reminds me of my literature course in the University "Women Writers"

Harper, hope you’re not reading these replies, I really thought of all places ŷ������ would have a non-toxic comment section, guess I was wrong!

A book about successful individuals should cover as many spectrums as possible. If not, just call it the book of successful men. If you want a fully applicable book, you have to have a diverse grouping.

Agree. Some really great moments here with memorable quotes, and book recommendations, but sadly limited in scope. Others have made this point about similar inspirational books like this one: the advice generally comes from and is for a certain group of people.

How about seeing this book, and by expansion, the world, not in a men vs women dichotomy? This book will help men AND women be more succesful, however they want to define succesful. That's what's this book is about. (If you really insist: as a result, there could be more succesful people, thus more succesful women, and consequently maybe in the future a new version of this book will be published with a 50/50 division men and women.)

I agree. I can enjoy and appreciate the book while at the same time recognizing that there are many many successful and interesting women whose perspective would have made it an even better book. It’s obvious Tim appreciates the male perspective more and that’s what he focused on. Personally, I would have enjoyed more perspectives from smart and successful women. A valid criticism perhaps he will ponder.

100% agree. Enjoyed this and got a lot out of it, but for such a huge book I would have liked it to have included more perspectives from successful women.

If you can't figure out the answer your self then you got a problem in ur head buddy

Excuse my language miss but what you said is absolutely bullshit, your fenisim logic is fucked up, even though I have seen a lot of feminists like you but I can't get used to their illogical thinking, he simply wrote about people who he thinks are greats, wherever it is men or women, but since he doesn't have a fucked up logic, he didn't care if there is more men in his book then women wich is completely normal , and the truly great women are the ones who raise great men, the mothers who raise her sons and daughters the right way not the one who tries to be like men and tries to be equal, cause men and women will never be equal, each have his role cause that's how God created us, anyway sorry again for the bad language

@Mehdi just go fuck yourself dude

There are no great men/women/gay/LGVTQ+ leaders. There are only great leaders. Period.

I felt that same way when it came to the amount of black people, I still need to go back, but I only got 3 so far, could be missing several more, but from the amount of the known people that I know, I’m at 3.

Good point Jacob!

This has to do with average temperamental differences between men and women. Men on the average tend to be more disagreeable and competitive than women. Plus the reality that child bearing and rearing still hold back women from their careers more than men. These are major factors that influence success in most fields. Not to deny that prejudice against women do not exist but sexism is just no longer a major issue holding back women today at least in the west, and likely not something you could accuse Tim Ferris over his choice of people. The percentage of non-whites probably has to do with demographic composition in the west. I hope people stop playing identity politics. It is just exhausting.

Of all the things you could say, you chose that?
