Publisher's summary

World-renowned biohacker and bestselling author Dave Asprey reveals how to maximize your well-being with the minimum effort, by taking control of your body’s operating system

If you want to lose weight, boost your energy, or sharpen your mind, there are shelves of books offering myriad styles of advice. If you want to build up your strength and cardio fitness, there are plenty of gyms and trainers ready to offer you their guidance. What all of these resources have in common is they offer you a bad deal: a lot of effort for a little payoff. Dave Asprey has found a better way.

In Smarter Not Harder, the proven master of biohacking exposes the surprising secrets of your body’s operating system, or its “MeatOS.” That system is naturally designed to be lazy, which is why sweaty exercise routines and rigid diets produce such limited effects. Dave shows us how to hack the MeatOS and make it do what we want it to do, turning it from obstacle into ally. The key to achieving optimum wellness, he reveals, isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing less—exercising and eating smarter, not harder, and making the body’s built in laziness work for you.

Smarter Not Harder is not a diet nor a fitness plan. It is a system of targeted biohacks aimed at upgrading your metabolic, neurological, and epigenetic systems. Packed with practical, accessible information on better eating; smart workouts that give you more strength and energy in less time; and strategic therapies to reduce stress and boost resilience—Smarter Not Harder will show you how to achieve lasting health in less time.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A must listen

Super informative and I love Dave’s soothing voice in narration. This book is perfectly written for those of us (which is all of us) who want to take control of our health while doing the least amount of work.

Excellent

I have been listening to Dave and others for years and I think this is one of the best books
I don’t really consider spirituality to be biological, but they were still really good points

Immeasurable value

I bought both the hard copy and the Audible version of this book, and I jumped on Audible within hours of it landing in my Library. Have you ever gone to a movie and left with your imagination so stimulated that your body was filled with motivation and energy? That is what this book does, ten-fold. A non-fiction book, yet I was more excited about its content than any good fiction and I had to force myself to take a break from listening. I have listened to only a few chapters, yet I have found “Smarter Not Harder” to be packed with so much valuable information that I was often hitting rewind to be certain I had fully absorbed what I was being taught. This is stuff you will not find elsewhere, or at least not all in one place, and you would have to hunt for most of it – unless you already read Dave’s books and follow his teachings. Dave Asprey could have reserved this precious knowledge and these “secrets” for himself and his inner circle or sold it only to the wealthiest of clients, instead he shares the fruits of his years of unrelenting self-teaching and experimentation with the world. This is a gift. Read and/or listen to this book – all of Dave’s books - and you will gain more value than you can imagine. Thank you, Dave, for your lead in helping people understand that they can take control of their health and make their lives infinitely better. I am a happy and grateful recipient of your gifts of knowledge that helped pull me out of deep grief, lose a lot of weight and regain much of my mental and physical health to which I had unwittingly done great damage.

If you learn one thing and change one thing it’s worth the read or listen.

Easy to listen to and follow

I have listened to this book multiple times. Each time he gives me a wealth of information. By far, it’s my favorite book by the author. If you want to take your biohacking to the next level. This is the book for you
