Head Strong

The Bulletproof Plan to Activate Untapped Brain Energy to Work Smarter and Think Faster - in Just Two Weeks

Narrado por: Dave Asprey, Rob Shapiro

From the creator of Bulletproof Coffee and author of the best-selling The Bulletproof Diet comes a revolutionary plan to upgrade your brainpower - in two weeks or less.

For the last decade, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dave Asprey has worked with world-renowned doctors and scientists to uncover the latest, most innovative methods for making humans perform better - a process known as "biohacking". In his first book, The Bulletproof Diet, he shared his biohacking tips for taking control of your own biology. Now, in Head Strong, Asprey shows listeners how to biohack their way to sharper, smarter, faster, more resilient brains.

Imagine feeling like your mind is operating at its clearest and sharpest and being able - possibly for the first time in your life - to do more in less time. What if it suddenly became easier to do the very hardest things you do? Or if you could feel 100 percent confident about your intellect and never again fear being the person in the room who just isn't smart enough or can't remember something important?

In Head Strong, Asprey shows us that all of this is possible - and more. Using his simple lifestyle modifications (or "hacks") to take advantage of how the structure of your brain works, you will learn how to take your mental performance to the next level. Combining the latest findings in neuroscience and neurobiology with a hacker-inspired "get it done now" perspective, Asprey offers a program structured around key areas of brain performance that will help you:

• Power the brain with exactly what it needs to perform at its best all day long
• Eliminate the sources of "kryptonite", both nutritional and environmental, that make the brain slower
• Supercharge the cellular powerhouses of your brain, the mitochondria, to eliminate cravings and turn up mental focus
• Reverse inflammation to perform better right now, then stay sharp and energized well into your golden years
• Promote neuron growth to enhance processing speed and reinforce new learning - hotwiring your brain for success

Asprey's easy to follow two-week program offers a detailed plan to supercharge brain performance, including which foods to eat and which ones to avoid, how to incorporate the right kinds of physical activity into your day, a detox protocol for your home and body, meditation and breathing for performance, recommended brain-boosting supplements, and how to adjust the lighting in your home and workspace to give your brain the quality light it thrives on.

A better brain - and a happier, easier, more productive life - is within reach. You just need to get Head Strong.

Covers a lot of new and relevant health info

Dave Asprey updates the reader on a lot of new health info, succinctly introducing and explaining the ideas, and giving the reader the quick what-to-do information as well.

Worth a second listen. Or, buying the hard cover for quick reference. Which is what I did.

Great explanation of our body's energy

It is a bit technical in places, but that does not distract from the key messages. It is informative and gives implementation plans to improve mitochondrial energy.

Fascinating and Brilliant - Most Impactful Book

This book is brillantly layered with scientific information and sprinkled with humor and honesty that make it positively enjoyable at every chapter. The author gives back 700 fold by bringing all the lessons learned from years of experience and experimentation to the readers. The content of this book will change the reader and the world.

Life changer

I will use the information given in this book for the rest of my life and pass it along to anyone that will listen. Thank you Dave Asprey for changing my life!

Overall good!

Learned some good things but have some concerns. Asprey has a tendency to take a concept and run with it without thoroughly evaluating the resulting imbalances that may occur. It is very allopathic approach that as a practitioner of traditional herbal medicine seems unnatural. He will take a bit of research and sort of spout it out as truth. This can be a problem and provide unthorough information. For instance the talk about dairy products being bad for you bc humans can't process a particular protein I find inaccurate . I have issues with inorganic milk but, good quality milk and cream I do just fine. Also milk only inhibits a certain type of polyphenol which is found in green tea and not all polyphenols. His information can easily lead a novice into living by a very rigid set of rules. OverAll I give it a 4 just because there is some good stuff in here and you will learn things (a lot of which is very expensive). Just realize while you are listening and reading that this only one perspective.

Blueprint for optimal performance and health

Very specific and technical ways to improve health energy levels and performance primarily by enhancing mitochondria. Great read!

Just awesome!!

I loved this!! Dave you have to write more books, I simply can't get enough 👌🤗 #bulletproofforever

Very informative!

The presentation was easy to listen to and the technical information was explained well. The author was well-versed and knowledgeable on the tropics presented.

much like the diet book

you prior to this I listen to the bulletproof diet book. This is very much like that book only I feel like there was more detail gone into over certain things.

This Book Is Gold

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I'd recommend this book to anyone. There is a wealth of information contained in this book. So many good takeaways. Best of all it's dense in substance, but it's easily digestible.

What did you like best about this story?

Giving me permission to not feel guilty about my 3 cups of coffee per day habit as long as I stop before 2 PM.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

One reaction I had to this book is Dave makes claims about his products. One claim in particular that Bulletproof Coffee is low toxin. While I tend to believe Dave regarding his coffee why not just test popular brands and share the data? It really is frustrating to have to take Dave's word for it without backing it up with accessible data comparing Dave's products with national brands.

Any additional comments?

Love all the info packed into this book. Will definitely listen to this book again.
