#571: Boyd Varty — The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life

The Tim Ferriss Show

Tim Ferriss is a self-experimenter and bestselling author, best known for The 4-Hour Workweek, which has been translated into 40+ languages. Newsweek calls him "the world's best human guinea pig," and The New York Times calls him "a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk." In this show, he deconstructs world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, chess, pro sports, etc.), digging deep to find the tools, tactics, and tricks that listeners can use.

Boyd Varty — The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life | Brought to you by <a href="http://wealthfront.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wealthfront</a> automated investing, <a href="http://athleticgreens.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Athletic Greens</a> all-in-one nutritional supplement, and <a href="http://helixsleep.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helix Sleep</a> premium mattresses. More on all three below.Boyd Varty (<a href="https://twitter.com/boydvarty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@boydvarty</a>) is the author of two books, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lion-Trackers-Guide-Life/dp/0358099773/?tag=offsitoftimfe-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life</a> and his memoir, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cathedral-Wild-African-Journey-Home/dp/1400069858/?tag=offsitoftimfe-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cathedral of the Wild</a>. He has been featured in The New York Times, on NBC, and in other media and has taught his philosophy of “tracking your life” to individuals and companies around the world.Boyd is a wildlife and literacy activist who has spent the last ten years refining the art of using wilderness as a place for deep introspection and personal transformation. He grew up in South Africa on <a href="https://www.londolozi.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Londolozi Game Reserve</a>, a former hunting ground that was transformed into a nature preserve by Boyd’s father and uncle—both visionaries of the restoration movement. Under his family’s stewardship, the Reserve became renowned not only as a sanctuary for animals but as a place where once-ravaged land was able to flourish again and where the human spirit could be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he went to Londolozi to recover.Boyd has a degree in psychology from the University of South Africa.
