Tim Ferris - “Low-Information Diet”

Here is Tim Ferris talking about the “Low-Information Diet” at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Other keynoters included Eric Schmidt of Google and Jeff Bezos of Amazon. He was invited to speak after winning an audience vote at the “Ignite” competition a few nights earlier. The rules? The presentation had to be 5 minutes long, and you needed to have exactly 20 slides, which advanced automatically every 15 seconds. That explains why he’s speaking so quickly. Ferris is the author of the 4 hour work week.
