Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Tim Ferriss

Tim Ferriss (The 4-Hour Workweek, Tribe of Mentors, The Tim Ferriss Show) is an author, entrepreneur, and podcaster. Tim joins the Armchair Expert to discuss his perspective on stoicism, why he thinks psychedelic treatment progress has been slow, and how he analyzes taking risks. Tim and Dax talk about how fear plays a role in people's anxiety, how having conversations about trauma has become normalized, and why they love to learn about different subcultures. Tim explains the cost of inaction, what the results of his dog's DNA test were, and his time as a competitive Argentinian tango dancer.

<p>Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment. What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.</p><p>Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
