Conflict

The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine

General David H. Petraeus

Andrew Roberts

This book, co-authored by General David Petraeus and historian Andrew Roberts, provides a comprehensive examination of modern warfare from 1945 to the present. It covers significant conflicts, including the Korean War, the Gulf War, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The authors draw lessons from these conflicts to offer insights into the future of warfare, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in military strategy. The book also delves into the impact of technological advancements and the changing nature of warfare in the modern era.

After

Bruce Greyson

In 'After,' Dr. Bruce Greyson shares his transformative journey and extensive research on near-death experiences (NDEs). Starting from a position of scientific skepticism, Greyson delves into the nature of consciousness and the continuity of life beyond death. The book presents first-person accounts of NDEs, discusses various theories, and explores how these experiences can change individuals' outlooks on life. Greyson argues that dying could be a transition rather than an ending, challenging the conventional fear of death and offering a new perspective on the human experience. The book is accessible to both newcomers and those already familiar with the subject, providing a balanced and scientifically grounded exploration of NDEs[2][3][4].

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, listeners 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.
