I think I fall into the fundamentally nice people (albeit overenthusiastic) camp LOL… long time admirer of Tim’s work which transformed my life health and wealth wise… especially the 4 hour body ad chef books and videos. He was way ahead of the curve when it came to the low carb, Keto, carnivore trends… Also love the random shows with Kevin Digg Rose…. who experienced all this fame and fortune much younger than Tim did…

Great read. Thanks for posting! I have a tiny (sub-100) Twitter following and have been more active there recently, so more likely to gain followers. This has made me think carefully about the type of audience and scale of audience I want.

There is nothing wrong with being a famous person. We need to improve their fame world so everyone can be famous in a happy, healthy, and safe way.

The Faustian nature of fame perfectly laid out here, thanks Tim. I must admit, I do fantasise about fame sometimes. I see it as an egotistical shortcoming based on having a traumatic and unpopular childhood: ‘people should know who I am!’. Yet I have little to nothing useful to offer. As I have now hit my 30s, I realise more that one can do everything needed for mental health and wellbeing with a ‘village’, without the majority of negative effects listed above. What good is fame (or riches, for that matter) to you when you’re dead? Whether 1 or 1000 people visit your grave is of no difference.

I drew the same conclusion, though I never wanted to be famous.

I’m not famous but I’ve experienced every single one of those downsides (and use pretty much all of those tips) through the unlucky chance of having a stalker – which supports the tribe/village/city theory of it just being statistics. Though now I’m thinking, if I’m already prepped, I might as well become famous …
