This is another very good book on biohacking and optimizing oneself. It contains 46 laws, each with tested techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter. All these techniques are based on author's own experience and also on hundreds conversations with world-class mavericks of science, business and many other disciplines. All these laws are divided into three main categories, smarter, faster and happier.What I liked the most is that every law is independent. It is not necessary to start at the page 1. You can pick any law you want or need at the moment. What's more, every law ends with a brief summary and also a set of action steps you can make. So, even if you forget something you read, the author will remind you about the most important points, as well as how to implement them. This also makes this book a very good source of tips when you finish it and need advice. Just pick a law you need and read just that one.I highly recommend this book. It is a very good choice for anyone who wants to optimize his life and work. There is a tip, or law, anyone can use. Just pick the one you need.

Great book! Wish I had the PDF, though. I didn't agree with everything he wrote but he had many good items to extract. He talked a lot about drugs and it made me want to try the legal ones that he suggested like Modafinil (the one the movie Limitless is based off of). Then he got lost in the drugs so maybe I won't take them now. He also said multiple times that he's going to live to be 180.Notes:The most important things for the successful people are nutrition, relationships, and self awareness.An author like that A-word Tim Ferriss, doesn't make him person an expert or successful. Weasel word #1 is can't. When you use the word "can't", it robs you of power and crushes innovative thinking. When you say "I can't do that" what you actually mean is one of four things: You could use some help doing it, you don't currently have the tools to do it. You simply don't know how to do it, or you just don't want to do it. Can't is always a lie.Weasel word #2 is need. Replace it with the truth, you want, you choose, you decide. Weasel word #3 is bad. The majority of the time, when you say something is bad you really mean you don't like it or don't want it. Bad creates a false binary. Things are more than just good or bad. When you label something bad you miss out on an opportunity for how to figure out it can be good. Weasel word #4 is try. When you hear the word try, you assume that whatever you are going to try to do might not be possible. It gives your brain an out. Try gives you an excuse to fail.Your beliefs inform how you experience the world.I need to look up Jim Qwik who trained Professor X.For reading well:F: forgetA: activeS: and I didn't hear the rest of them dang it.T:Hack your memory by teaching your brain to think in images rather than words. When you visualize something, information takes a shortcut on the memory part of the brain skipping over short-term memory and going into long term. Out of the 5 senses, our sight is most important to the brain because it is tied to our survival. Poor quality light sources drain a lot of your brains energy. That is why temptation is much worse when it's super late at night. You should be at home instead of fornicating, dang you people.When visualizing use the first image that comes to your mind and make sure it's in 3D. Your brain remembers it better.Self awareness is an intimate understanding of the normally subconscious factors that motivate you.Reading glasses make your eyes weaker?How does stupid Tim Ferriss say he can gauge his happiness setpoint to be 15-20% higher by taking a hallucinogen?The breath is the world's most powerful drug. And Holotropic breathing is how you can engage in it. For example, he remembered a lot of details of his birth because of holotropic breathing and he was able to find all the trauma that he experienced. Newborns need to be held right away from birth to avoid that trauma. Innovation doesn't happen unless you're willing to break the rules that other people have written. The entire lining of your digestive track is replaced every three days. People usually want to help others when given the chance.There's a 4th state of water between a solid and a liquid and it's highly viscous like honey. It's called Exclusion Zone (EZ water). It's the type of water that's in our cells. And I guess that when you mix gi (butterfat) it creates EZ water. The five minute rule is to give yourself 5 minutes to be negative and complain then stop after that. Porn is the high fructose corn syrup of sex. I'm glad he condemned watching it.If you don't get enough sunlight in the day (produces serotonin) and then you won't get enough melatonin to help you sleep at night.Sitting for 6 or 7 hours a day can undo 1 or 2 hours of exercise.He says that long distance endurance exercise ages the brain. Nope, nope, nope. Wrong there Dave.Canola oil didn't exist until 1985 and it's the second most used vegetable oil in the US.Use Olive oil for finished dishes, not for cooking. I don't know why it's bad for cooking. Vitamin K2 helps heal cavities by keeping calcium in their place. I've always wondered about what people did before dentists, and apparently teeth can heal themselves.The stem cell transplants (the non ethical kind) seem all neat.End goals fall into three distinct buckets: things you want to experience, ways you want to grow as a human being, and ways in which you want to contribute to or leave your mark on the world. When you set practical goals for yourself, take the time to consider these end goals.Life's most important things, aren't things.Only 10% of empathy is hardwired. The rest is learned."Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure." Tony RobbinsHahah JP Sears made fun of him and the bulletproof thingy.Don't hang out with like minded people because they don't help you grow. Hang out with like hearted people because they are accepting of you. So how does that apply to marriage and having similar goals?I guess back in the Olden Days our ape ancestors had open relationships or something. I don't see how this is. He seems to be for it. But at least he says it's not for everyone.I guess a long time ago people didn't approve of meditation like how we don't approve of drugs today.Meditating takes your right brain to the gym.Shi rin roku- Forrest bathing. I need to do that.

** spoiler alert ** Dave's podcast was called "bulletproof radio" running for several years. It has been renamed to and now changed to "Human upgrade". He met world renowned personalities who all are into hacking (including bio hacking ) to get smarter, faster and happier. Each of the laws is based on one of his guests. You don't have to agree with all the suggestions but there are some good nuggets here.There are three ways to get better - A. Smarter, B. Faster, and C. HappierA. SmarterChapter 1. FOCUS on your strength not weakness. Learn to say NO. Chapter 2. Get into the habit of getting smarter. Learning to remember from Jim Kwik. Chapter 3. Use smart drugs like LSD etc. Not sure I agree with these (but you can read Lifespan for this section). Go to burning man, vipasana, ayahuasca Chapter 4. Disrupt Fear. Gratitude turns off the fear. let go of hard feelings. Here is the hierarchy and since mind is lazy. It wants to stay at the lower level. a. happiness and freedomb. Fearc. anger and prided. sadnesse. apathy and shameChapter 5 Even Batman has a bat cave. Take breaks. Morning routines. B. FasterChapter 6 Sex is an altered state. This one is weird, so skip Chapter 7 Find your nighttime spirit animal. This is anti-consensus thus interesting. Waking up early does not make you a good person. You can be a bear (50% of people), or Lion (early risers ), wolf (late nighter) or dolphin (insomniac ). Try to get adequate sunlight during the day. High quality sleep is better than more sleep. Don't sleep on your back (really?). Chapter 8. Throw a rock at the rabbit don't chase it. Flexible people kick more ass. try yoga Chapter 9. You get out what you put in. You normally eat when you feel a lack of love or connection. Don't eat like a caveman eat like your grandma. Don't eat veg oil. Eat lots of vegetables Consider a viome test. Take vitamin k2 Chapter 10 The future of hacking yourself is now. Oura or fitbit. Get stem cells injectionsC. Happier Chapter 11. Being Rich wont make you happy, but being happy might make you rich. Once your basic needs have been met, more money will not make you happy. If you have secured a nest egg, protect it with your life. Focus on the journey and not the destination. Chapter 12: Your Community is your environment. Social interaction impacts your brain chemistry. Community leads to happiness. You secrete Oxytocin, when you are with people you like. Create a safety net of people around. Chapter 13: Reset your programming. MEDITATION. Morning shower with cold water as suggested by Wim HofChapter 14: Get Dirty in the Sun. Go for a hike. Natural sunlight but also consider supplements like D, K2 and A. Chapter 15: Use Gratitude to Rewire your brain. Gratitude can turn off the fear. Go something kind daily. Every night before going to the bed, think of three things you are grateful about. Speak in calming, more soothing voice. Forgive, but do not be sorry. Gratitude is like a muscle, exercise it. Like keep a gratitude journal, practice mindfulness, Rethink a negative situation, appreciate actively, Fill a gratitude jar and practice gratitude with loved ones, Take a gratitude walk. Write a thank you note. Practice combining gratitude and forgiveness.

Bio hacking in a nutshellIt’s always intriguing to read or listen to anything presented by the father of bio hacking, Dave Asprey. And this book is no different, it is a summary of some of the most important interviews he conducted with experts in different fields on his podcast Bulletproof Radio. The range of topics are pretty diverse: from the science behind “willpower muscle”, to the “codes” we insert into our supercomputer brain, to neuroplasticity, meta moments, stem cell, minimalism, a super weird chapter on LSD, the 4th state of water after liquid solid and vapour, the importance of recovery, “mindfulness masturbation”, the science behind shamanic medicine, a very useful fear-happiness spectrum, to human zoology (yes that exists).The book also analyses fluid intelligence and how to raise our memory capability by 40% using scientifically-proven methods, altered state using breathing meditation, the fact that “porn is the high-fructose corn syrup of sex”, why celebrating failures is a great bio hacking tool, why violent criminals have very high level of trace metals in their blood, a simple breathing technique to connect the left and right hemisphere of the brain, all the way to an interview with a dominatrix on BDSM as a flow-state-generating bio hacking tool. Fun!It’s weird, it’s nuts, but it works, and scientifically proven. I guarantee that your reading experience won’t be a dull one, and you might just learn one or two new tools to hack your life with immediate effect.

4.5 starsBest personal development book I have read (not that I am well versed in the genre).What I liked about it and thought was different from other self help books I have read, is it gives actionable items and actual tips. It also contains lots of well researched information from a variety of studies and leaders in specific fields. I resonated with quite a few sections of the book and have come away with some inspiration. There is a few parts that are not really my kind of thing and I feel some aspects of the book may be pushing a certain agenda (like grass fed butter) which the studies might support, however there may be research to also support a different agenda. All that said, I will buy this book as I would really like to take my time to read it and go through each section individually and hopefully implement some parts into my life.Feeling well and truly motivated!

A nice book with lot of new information. Its truly a must read book if you aspire to enhance your performance in a while and be a Better YOU in any manner. I had found most of the chapters very interesting and well structured. The action plan kept at the end portion of each chapter is really helpful. This area of book helps us to conclude the core ideas of that chapter into a nutshell. Recommended listening and reading area is also an asset to the book. As a reader I must say that because of the presence of this area, This Book acts as a doorstep to several hundreds of informative books. If you really like to boost your performance, then this book is for you! You can also read this book if you love to travel into the world of BIO HACKING ☺️. Really a fantastic reading experience. Kudos to the writer and the bulletproof team for making this happen 👍

A well organized book that breaks down everything you could think about and want into actionable steps.I listened to it on audio, and have since bought the hardcover so that I can go through and take notes and have the book for reference.

Guide to immortality /\

Thought I was going to read a book only on bio-hacking given the fact that it’s Dave Asprey, but I’m super glad it threw in other topics too10/10 would recommend-siezz.
