Heavily Meditated - by Dave Asprey (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

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.

Based on his immersive program 40 Years of Zen, Heavily Meditated combines ancient wisdom traditions and practices with modern technology and cutting-edge science to provide a roadmap for making positive changes in our bodies and minds.
