The Strongest Life
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Dave Asprey, creator of the world-famous "Bulletproof Coffee" and Silicon Valley's leading innovator. Uncover the secrets of 450 of the world's most powerful game changers! "The Strongest Life" is a book in which Dave Asprey, the founder of "Bulletproof Coffee" and an eccentric CEO of Silicon Valley, summarizes the success formulas of 450 game changers who shook the world through podcasts and experiences them firsthand, distilling them into 44 laws. The secret to success they spoke of was not money, power, or fame, but 'self-improvement.' The more you upgrade yourself to become smarter, faster, and happier, the more success, along with wealth and fame, will naturally follow. The important thing is that the way we upgrade ourselves is different than it used to be. You can't break the world with the old success formulas of the past. This is an era that requires a thoroughly scientifically proven science of success, not a method that works for just one person. Asprey says we need to utilize and improve everything we have, from our breathing to our eating habits, speech, thoughts, emotions, exercise, sleep, and sex life. This book reveals how 450 game changers—from unorthodox scientists, groundbreaking medical doctors and biochemists, the world's greatest athletes, meditation experts, elite US Navy SEALs, and the world's leading self-improvement leaders—not only broke the boundaries of their fields but also turned the impossible into the realm of the possible. This book reveals all the secrets of how they helped establish new rules, expand boundaries, and change the world. |

Into the book
Over the past five years, I've interviewed 450 Game Changers who have achieved remarkable results in their fields.
These are people who not only broke down the boundaries of their fields, but also turned the impossible into the realm of possibility.
They are called game changers because they helped establish new rules, expand boundaries, and change the world.
--- From "What I Learned from 450 Game Changers"
In the past, most doctors and scientists believed that high-performance brains were innate.
Some people are naturally smart, focused, and quick learners, while others are not.
It wasn't until the late 20th century that the concept of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to develop new cells and form new neural connections, became known to the world.
You can develop new habits and build new beliefs based on newly formed cells and connections.
It can also increase learning speed and improve memory.
It's a tremendous change that can dramatically improve your overall performance in life.
It's okay now to not think of yourself as smart or great.
Because it can be changed at any time.
--- From "Get in the habit of getting smarter"
Game changers refuse to hide behind the safety of rules and authority.
The powerful people who rule the world exist to maintain the status quo.
To be an innovator, you have to think differently.
Stagnation is the enemy of innovation.
I would like to express my apologies to the teachers who taught me in the past.
Innovation cannot happen if you don't break the rules that others have set.
This is the key.
--- From "Face the Fear and Break the Frame"
Animals only push themselves to their limits when they are hungry or being chased by enemies.
If you push yourself too hard without giving yourself time to recover, your body perceives it as a dangerous situation.
The autonomic nervous system becomes activated and less vital systems stop functioning.
A system that prevents aging, makes us feel happy, and governs our thoughts.
You have to be a craftsman when it comes to restoring your own body.
Forget the idea of running a marathon every day.
Run a short distance at full speed and then take a break.
Work hard and rest hard.
Only then can you complete the remaining race.
--- From "Even Heroes Need a Rest"
Stretching is an exercise that doesn't bring about noticeable changes, but it does change the way you move and perform.
Resilience, an essential element of high performance, can be achieved by connecting body and mind through movements such as stretching and yoga.
--- From "Exercise should be done properly, not just hard"
Gut bacteria have more control over your body than you might think.
It can make you fat, tired and dull, or it can give you energy to create new abilities.
It can even make you depressed.
Don't neglect the gut bacteria that hold the power.
If you are not careful, your performance ability may drop to rock bottom.
If you treat your bacteria properly, you will definitely be greatly rewarded.
Learn how to control bacteria to your will.
--- From "Food Determines Output"
Every organ in our body benefits from short periods of high-intensity stress followed by rest.
These are ways to make your body healthy.
Being dragged around by stressful jobs, relationships, and surroundings is something only cowards do.
Cut out everything you do and everything that causes stress to your body and mind.
These are people who not only broke down the boundaries of their fields, but also turned the impossible into the realm of possibility.
They are called game changers because they helped establish new rules, expand boundaries, and change the world.

Publisher's Review
The Silicon Valley eccentric CEO who made $6 million at 26 and lost it all at 28.
In search of the invincible formula for success that resists prejudice and failure.
There is a man who has caught the world's attention as a young and talented billionaire who became a high-ranking executive at a $360 billion company at the age of 26, earning $6 million a year.
He confesses that he was a 'bright, successful, obese person'.
They only pursued money and power for security, and they looked for opportunities to satisfy their overflowing desires.
I started to suffer from the weight I gained due to my instincts, and I lived my life always angry and unhappy.
Eventually, a doctor's warning arrives, telling him that he 'might die soon.'
And at the same time, everything in his life began to fall apart.
Dave Asprey, creator of the world-famous "Bulletproof Coffee" and Silicon Valley's most successful eccentric CEO, tasted success very early and fell to the bottom very quickly.
He realized that the success that people often achieve by pushing themselves to their limits, working hard, and cramming all their knowledge into their heads, is easily destroyed.
In particular, I learned that 'I can never be happy'.
So he set out to find hidden high achievers around the world to uncover the secrets of 'real' success.
He sought advice from scientists with heretical tendencies, groundbreaking medical doctors and biochemists, the world's top athletes and their nutritionists, meditation experts, shamans, elite US Navy SEALs, and the world's leading self-improvement leaders—anyone with extraordinary abilities and knowledge he could muster, and they ultimately turned Asprey's life around.
Their accumulated wisdom, my own research, and endless self-experimentation allowed me to finally break free from the diet that had plagued me for decades.
I lost 45 kilograms and got a six-pack for the first time in my life at the age of 40.
As my body became lighter, my head, which was always heavy, became clearer and lighter, and my concentration improved.
Even my IQ has increased.
In the process, I was able to let go of the feelings of fear, shame, and anger that had always held me back, even though I hadn't been aware of them before.
I look younger than before.
(…syncopation…)
I also exercised less than when I was obese.
Although I slept less, the quality of my sleep improved significantly.
I consumed a fair amount of butter with my vegetables and learned to enjoy life.
And before I knew it, I had achieved a level of performance I never imagined possible.
In the past, I struggled with small tasks, but now I can tackle much bigger and more challenging tasks with greater ease.
Asprey says, "Today, the world has the knowledge necessary to upgrade its brain and body, and this radical transformation is within the reach of everyone."
So, he started a podcast called "Bulletproof Radio" where he met and talked with "game changers" who were breaking boundaries, innovating, and breaking the rules in their fields, and he started sharing their "strongest rules" with the public.
Breathing, eating habits, speech, thoughts, emotions, exercise, sleep, and even sex life
44 Rules for Creating the Ultimate Life: Smarter, Faster, and Happier
"The Strongest Life" is a book that contains 44 laws of success that Dave Asprey personally experienced and analyzed through the success formulas of 450 game changers he met on his podcast.
From Tim Ferriss, Arianna Huffington, John Gray, and Jack Canfield to the 0.01% of hidden game changers unknown to the world, the keywords for success chosen by those who have achieved the best results in their fields are largely divided into three main categories: ‘smarter,’ ‘faster,’ and ‘happier.’
Asprey covers 44 specific laws centered around these three major frameworks.
In the 'Smarter' section, we introduce ways to maximize the function of our brains to perform at their best.
This book provides advice from experts on various topics, including the posture needed to eliminate unnecessary choices and focus on the things that really need to be done, how to exercise the brain with the right breathing technique, how to maximize memory, and how to create a biorhythm that allows the brain to function at its peak efficiency through rest, along with specific examples from the author himself.
The 'Faster' section, which teaches you how to move with an enhanced brain, teaches you how to do anything faster.
The methods presented here are aimed at making our brains and bodies function efficiently, conserving our mental and physical energy without waste and allowing us to devote it fully to essential tasks.
Specifically, we'll talk about how to get quality sleep, the optimal daily workout routine for peak performance, how food intake significantly impacts your output, and how to understand and fully control your body's characteristics.
In particular, the content in this chapter is very new and practical, covering topics such as breathing, eating habits, sleep, and sex life, which were not covered in existing self-help books, and contains a wide range of fresh examples and methods.
Finally, the 'More Happily' section emphasizes the importance of controlling one's own consciousness and body to achieve peace and tranquility of mind and body.
It also conveys the message that by being deeply aware of oneself and the surroundings, one can achieve a high level of accomplishment in any task while maintaining a stable and calm state.
Asprey loudly states that this final chapter is the key to success, saying, “Money, power, and fame can never be the driving force behind success.
“You must find that value within yourself,” he urges.
"The Strongest Life" is filled with stories on topics that are more scientific and fresh than those found in existing self-help books.
This is a story that the author, Dave Asprey, can confidently tell because he experienced it firsthand for a year and scientifically proved it.
Through this book, readers will realize that they have the power to change their lives, and, as Asprey says, they will be able to create their own formula for success.
