BANGALORE: Learning in life requires time; time to experiment, to try new and different things and time to gradually learn about yourself and your values. There is, after all, a reason why they say that “wisdom tends to come with experience”. The people who start and run awesome companies, write best-sellers, and become household names haven't always known what was best for their money.

Timothy Ferriss is an American author, entrepreneur, angel investor, and public speaker. He grew up in East Hampton, NY and graduated from St. Paul's School and received a degree in East Asian Studies from Princeton University in 2000.
