It reminded me actually in a sense of Tim Ferriss's book Tools of Titans and Tribe of Mentors where he just asked the same questions over and over but you could then look in his case.

Why people recommend it

Tribe of Mentors by Timothy Ferriss is a popular compilation featuring advice, habits, and answers to targeted life questions from a diverse array of high-achievers and successful figures. Tim Ferriss brought up his own book on The Tim Ferriss Show to reflect on specific stories and questions related to favorite failures and later successes, and he also referenced it to share a quote from John Arnold. Bill Gurley appeared on the same podcast to discuss how Tim Ferriss formulated a list of questions to pose to numerous different individuals for the project. On ChooseFI, Jonathan Barrett discussed eagerly pre-ordering and receiving the book upon its release, while Brad Barrett drew a parallel between its question-and-answer format and the approach used in Nick Loper's work. Finally, Neil deGrasse Tyson brought up the publication during a conversation on StarTalk Radio to ask Tim Ferriss about its specific subject matter and overarching focus. Across multiple platforms, podcast hosts and guests frequently cite the title's unique methodology of repeatedly asking structured questions to extract valuable wisdom from experienced practitioners across various professional domains.
