"Fascinating" - Maria Popova
"Illuminating" - Cory Doctorow
As I turned forty I decided to reach out to and converse with a remarkable group of Americans whose work had inspired and helped me over my younger years (and will continue to do so into my future). I was extremely fortunate in being able to secure all the people I really wanted to interview and ask them my specific questions. As I wrapped up the series I wanted to collect the interviews in a handy format. This ebook is the result. It includes interviews with:
Ted Chiang on Writing
Daniel Kottke on Searching for Magic with Steve Jobs in India and Silicon Valley
Dennis McKenna on Cathartogens
Rick Strassman on DMT
Kevin Kelly on the Long Now
Dan Everett on the Grammar of Happiness
Ran Prieur on Dropping Out
Erik Knutzen on Urban Homesteading
Seth Godin on Building Tribes
Eyal Ophir on the Science of Multitasking
William Powers on How to be a Good Internet Addict
Jack Zylkin on Retrofuturism
Lloyd Kahn on Shelter
Brian Lilolia on Sculpting a Home out of Mud
Robert Sapolsky on Stress
William O. Stephens on Stoicism
Timothy Pachirat on Hidden Violence
Tim Ferriss on MetaHacks
Richard Koch on applying Pareto's Law
Charley Miller on Game Design
David Kelley on Design Thinking for Social Good
Al Worden on Flying to the Moon and Coming Back to Earth
David Eagleman on Wonder
By a "MetaHack" I mean an analysis or action that increases the overall quality of one's life by a multiplying factor. It involves identifying patterns in your life and formulating targeted interventions to seriously up the ante in one's experience of life. Each of the people in these interviews has come up with their own unique "MetaHacks".
