Reflections on Confidence and Healing

This chapter recaps notable moments from the previous month's episodes while diving into a personal story about a transformative poker tournament experience. The speaker explores themes of confidence, intuition, and resilience, along with a skeptical yet eye-opening journey into the world of energy healing. Balancing lighthearted banter with deep reflections, the chapter questions the nature of memory and belief in unconventional treatments.

Episode notes

Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life.

This is a special inbetweenisode, which serves as a recap of the episodes from last month. It features a short clip from each conversation in one place so you can easily jump around to get a feel for the episode and guest.

Based on your feedback, this format has been tweaked and improved since the first recap episode. For instance, @hypersundays on Twitter suggested that the bios for each guest can slow the momentum, so we moved all the bios to the end.

See it as a teaser. Something to whet your appetite. If you like what you hear, you can of course find the full episodes at tim.blog/podcast.

Please enjoy!
