Q&A With Tim — On Happiness, Dating, Depressive Episodes, and Much More

 [Q&A With Tim — On Happiness, Dating, Depressive Episodes, and Much More]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to another episode of [The Tim Ferriss Show](, where it is my job to sit down with world-class performers of all different types to tease out the habits, routines, favorite books, and so on that you can apply and test in your own life. This time, we have a slightly different episode. As many of you know, I tested a “fan-supported model” earlier in the year, but I ended up reverting back to ads. That’s a long story, and you can read more about that at [tim.blog/podcastexperiment](. One of the bonuses that I offered to supporters was a live Q&A with me, and this audio is from the first round that we did. We covered 40 or so questions! It was a lot of fun, the questions were great, and while it was scheduled as a one-hour session, we went for longer. I answered questions on dating, depressive episodes, major life transitions, networking, uncoupling happiness from achievement, what I would hypothetically ask Richard Feynman, and much, much, more. Please note that there were a few small glitches in the audio when the connection was poor. That’s one of the unfortunate risks of doing these live sessions. We’ve cleaned it up and it’s not too bad. I also want to reiterate how grateful I am to everyone who contributed to and supported the podcast, as well as to all of you who listen to the podcast. I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without you, so thank you.
