Synopsis

The bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet answers the question, “How can I kick more ass at life?” by culling the wisdom of world-class thought leaders, maverick scientists, and disruptive entrepreneurs to provide proven techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter.

When Dave Asprey started his Bulletproof Radio podcast more than five years ago, he sought out influencers in an array of disciplines, from biochemists toiling in unknown laboratories to business leaders changing the world to mediation masters discovering inner peace. His guests were some of the top performing humans in the world, people who had changed their areas of study or even pioneered entirely new fields. Dave wanted to know: What did they have in common? What mattered most to them? What made them so successful—and what made them tick? At the end of each interview, Dave asked the same question: “What are your top three recommendations for people who want to perform better at being human?”

After performing a statistical analysis of the answers, he found that the wisdom gleaned from these highly successful people could be distilled into three main objectives: finding ways to become smarter, faster, and happier. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave’s years-long immersion in these conversations, offering 46 science-backed, high performance “laws” that are a virtual playbook for how to get better at life.

With anecdotes from game changers like Dr. Daniel Amen, Gabby Bernstein, Dr. David Perlmutter, Arianna Huffington, Esther Perel, and Tim Ferris as well as examples from Dave’s own life, Game Changers offers readers practical advice they can put into action to reap immediate rewards. From taming fear and anxiety to making better decisions, establishing high-performance habits, and practicing gratitude and mindfulness, Dave brings together the wisdom of today’s game-changers to help everyone kick more ass at life.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The New York Times bestselling author and founder and CEO of Bulletproof Coffee, Dave Asprey, answers the question: “How can you perform better at everything you do as a human being?”

When Dave Asprey began his journey to upgrade every aspect of his life, he gained as much knowledge as he could from those he termed “game changers.” These are the world’s leading minds across an array of disciplines, people who are influencing or even pioneering entirely new areas of study: from biochemists toiling in unknown laboratories to innovative business leaders disrupting the playing field to neuroscientists and meditation masters accessing deep levels of consciousness.

Driven to gain and share the wisdom and insight  from these high achievers, Dave created the Bulletproof Radio podcast and engaged his guests in enlightening conversations. He wanted to know: What mattered most to them?  How did their work impact the world, and how can listeners use it in their own lives today? What beliefs and behaviors led to their success? And simply, what  did they do to make it possible to achieve the things they have? He closed each interview with the same question: “What are your top three recommendations for people who want to perform better at everything they do as human beings?”

A true “hacker” to the core, Dave ran a statistical analysis of the answers from more than 450 game changers and distilled them into three main categories: how to become smarter, how to become faster, and how to become happier. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave’s years-long immersion in these conversations, detailing forty-six science-backed “laws” readers can put into practice to upgrade performance, health, and happiness.

With insight from game changers such as Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. David Perlmutter, Arianna Huffington, Esther Perel, and Tim Ferriss, in addition to powerful examples drawn from Dave’s own life, Game Changers offers readers actionable advice that delivers immediate rewards. From taming fear and self-doubt, to utilizing cutting-edge psychedelic therapies, to practicing gratitude, to tapping into the power of desire, to getting clear on what matters most, Dave shares the secrets of today’s game changers to help us all learn how to win at life.
