#432: Books I've Loved — Kevin Kelly | Brought to you by&nbsp;<a href="http://audible.com/tim" target="_blank">Audible</a>.Welcome to another episode of&nbsp;<a href="http://tim.blog/podcast?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=podcast-description" target="_blank">The Tim Ferriss Show</a>, where it is my job to sit down with world-class performers of all different types—from startup founders and investors to chess champions to Olympic athletes. This episode, however, is an experiment and part of a shorter series I’m doing called “Books I’ve Loved.”&nbsp;I’ve invited some amazing past guests, close friends, and new faces to share their favorite books—the books that have influenced them, changed them, and transformed them for the better.&nbsp;I hope you pick up one or two new mentors—in the form of books—from this new series and apply the lessons in your own life.Kevin Kelly&nbsp;(<a href="https://twitter.com/kevin2kelly" target="_blank">@kevin2kelly</a>) might be the real-life most interesting man in the world. Kevin is Senior Maverick at&nbsp;Wired&nbsp;magazine. He co-founded&nbsp;Wired&nbsp;in 1993, and served as its executive editor for its first seven years.
