Author Tim Ferriss, who practices Transcendental Meditation, finds that successful people tend to practice meditation regularly.
Ferriss is well-acquainted with success as an early investor in tech companies like Facebook, Uber and Twitter, and as the author of multiple New York Times bestselling books. He’s interviewed hundreds of successful people — from fellow entrepreneurs and investors to athletes, entertainers and mental health experts — on “The Tim Ferriss Show,” a podcast he launched in 2014.
Practicing both skills — meditation and saying “no” when necessary — can help improve your ability to focus, says Ferriss, a bestselling author, investor and entrepreneur. Most successful people are able to “train themselves and the people around them to understand certain priorities during certain periods of time, and those are all learnable skills, in my opinion,” he says.
