The MetaHack Interviews
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Religion & Spirituality

"Fascinating" - Maria Popova "Illuminating" - Cory Doctorow As I turned forty I decided to reach out to and converse with a remarkable group of Americans whose work had inspired and helped me over my younger years (and will continue to do so into my future). I was extremely fortunate in being able to secure all the people I really wanted to interview and ask them my specific questions. As I wrapped up the series I wanted to collect the interviews in a handy format. This ebook is the result. It includes interviews with: Ted Chiang on Writing Daniel Kottke on Searching for Magic with Steve Jobs in India and Silicon Valley Dennis McKenna on Cathartogens Rick Strassman on DMT Kevin Kelly on the Long Now Dan Everett on the Grammar of Happiness Ran Prieur on Dropping Out Erik Knutzen on Urban Homesteading Seth Godin on Building Tribes Eyal Ophir on the Science of Multitasking William Powers on How to be a Good Internet Addict Jack Zylkin on Retrofuturism Lloyd Kahn on Shelter Brian Lilolia on Sculpting a Home out of Mud Robert Sapolsky on Stress William O. Stephens on Stoicism Timothy Pachirat on Hidden Violence Tim Ferriss on MetaHacks Richard Koch on applying Pareto's Law Charley Miller on Game Design David Kelley on Design Thinking for Social Good Al Worden on Flying to the Moon and Coming Back to Earth David Eagleman on Wonder By a "MetaHack" I mean an analysis or action that increases the overall quality of one's life by a multiplying factor. It involves identifying patterns in your life and formulating targeted interventions to seriously up the ante in one's experience of life. Each of the people in these interviews has come up with their own unique "MetaHacks".
