About
The New York Times bestselling author, Bulletproof Coffee creator, and father of biohacking teaches you how to upgrade your brain to speed it up or slow it down at will and alter your physical and mental states. In his twenties, Dave Asprey battled debilitating brain fog and chronic fatigue syndrome. Frustrated by his broken brain, he embarked on a lifelong quest to upgrade his “MeatOS”—to fix his brain, biohack his biology to live past the age of 180, and push the boundaries of human potential. Asprey discovered that cultivating a mentally and physically healthy life depends on a solid grounding for our inner life. Now, in this, his sixth book, he shares the mind-blowing discoveries he has found.

…discussing meditation philosophy and ego regulation mechanisms
“And it's quite often people have done that in their 60s too. Heavily meditated became the top selling philosophy book in the country. It's a meditation book. Wow. And what is going on here? And it's because a lot of Buddhist scholars are saying, Dave, the theories in there make the ego make sense.”
