Books like the 4-hour chef

The 4-Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, and Living the Good Lifeis the third book by Tim Ferriss, published on November 20, 2012. The book continues Ferriss' "4-Hour" themes of self-improvement, self-actualization, and the skill of learning new things through the lens of cooking. The book is intended to be the cookbook for people who don't buy cookbooks and was a #1Wall Street Journalbestseller.

The 4-Hour Chefcontains practical cooking and recipe tips and uses the skill of cooking to explain methods for accelerated learning. Recipes based on Ferriss' Slow-Carb Diet are included, and the book is presented as a practical guide to mastering cooking and food. Alongside these cooking techniques, Ferriss shows readers how to learn any new skill or ability quickly. Ferriss calls this capacity for mastering new skills in the minimum amount of time possible "meta-learning".
