I see quite some overlap between Tim Ferris process and the methods described by Cal Newport e.g. in How to Be a High School Superstar:

Tim Ferris obviously spends lots of time on topics and projects he deeply immerses himself in. This looks like the result of Newports 'Law of Underscheduling' combined with the 'Law of Focus': Master one serious interest. And another one. And another one. Repeat as needed to get got at apparently anything due to the 'Law of Innovation': Pursue accomplishments that are hard to explain, not hard to do.
