Tune, 43, does not smoke or drink, and his West Side Manhattan apartment is even sparer than he is. Almost all the interior walls have been knocked down, and the only furniture is a bed. When guests drop by, they may sit on nine big pillows. Tune meditates in the morning and evening and spends half an hour more doing yoga exercises.
