2 小时 11 分钟Hello boys and girls, ladies and germs, this is Tim Ferriss.
Welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss show where it is my job to interview world class performers, to deconstruct how they do what they do, to tease out the habits, routines, favorite books, inspirations and so on that you can apply and test in your own lives.
My guest today, I have wanted to have on for years and in my mind what he teaches, what he writes, his means of thinking, his frameworks, the way he tilts the lens, the prism of perception ever so slightly.
All of these things are incredibly practical.
That's my perspective.
His name is David White.
You can find him at davidwhite.com white is spelled W H Y T E.
David White is the author of 12 books of poetry and five books of prose, including his latest, Consolations 2, which I highly recommend.
You should just get everything that he's written, frankly.
But Constellations 2 further explores what David calls the conversational nature of reality.
David holds a degree in marine zoology and has traveled extensively, including living and working as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leading anthropological and natural history expeditions in the Andes, Amazon and Himalayas.
We will talk about some of his adventures and how they informed who he is today.
He is the recipient of two honorary degrees from Newman University in Pennsylvania and Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia.
David grew up with a strong imaginative influence from his IR Irish mother among the hills and valleys of his father's Yorkshire, and now makes his home in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
He also has hosted a live online series three Sundays every other month since 2020.
And as I'm recording this, I have pages upon pages of notes that I took while David and I were having this conversation.
It energized me for so many hours after we finished chatting.
I hope it also has that galvanizing, inspiring impact on you.
