Episode notes

In modern life, we've taken away for a thousand reasons the responsibilities of marriage. And I think that's coming to cost, right? It's made it harder for people to get married. Men struggle to stay in a long-term relationship. Not as appealing to either side. If you look at the data, it's pretty obvious. People are marrying later, or not at all. So what do you say by that? Tricky. Do you say more about the diminishing role of marriage and responsibility?"

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!
