蒂莫西·费里斯，全球化3.0时代新新人类代言人，天使投资人，著有《纽约时报》畅销书第一名《每周工作4小时》，会说6种语言。本片讲述了这位全才能人不断挑战自己的极限，在仅仅72小时之内解构并学会各种看上去不可能的技能或者运动。他接受的挑战五花八门，有危险系数极高的拉力赛和跑酷，也有娱乐性十足的挑战比如速成一门乐器或钻研一个约会游戏。他的学习成果将通过各种挑战来检验，与当红摇滚乐队一起登台表演或者闯关逃生游戏等。在这之前，他只有三天的学习时间。

Entrepreneur, author, public speaker and start-up investor Tim Ferriss can add "reality TV show host" to his list of accomplishments. In "The Tim Ferriss Experiment," he applies his rapid-learning techniques -- he wrote about them in The New York Times best-seller "The 4-Hour Workweek" -- to tough-to-master tasks like parkour, rally car racing, playing drums at a rock concert, learning a language, and starting a new business. Ferriss believes nearly any skill can be mastered quickly if the teaching process is a sound one. To produce extraordinary results, he says, you don't need an unlimited budget; you just need a better tool kit.
