Dave Asprey: The Art of Biohacking, Sleep Mastery, and Lasting Leadership

That makes me so happy. There's two kinds of peace that are possible in the world. And there's one kind of peace where everyone is so tired and malnourished and lonely that you wake up and you just don't have any energy to do anything. And you'll be peaceful because you can't do anything else. And the other kind, energetic peace, you are abundantly powerful and full of energy. Yeah.

And you choose to be peaceful because no one can change your state except for you. And another way of putting this is it's better to be a warrior in a gardener, or it's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. So you want to be energetically peaceful. In fact, my new coffee company is called Danger Coffee. And people are like, you can't call danger that's negative.

No, no, it's danger. Who knows what you might do? You might ask the girl out, you might start a company, right? You might say no, when a dictator tells you to do something that you know is wrong, because you have inherent innate power. And the more energetically peaceful you are, the more danger you embody, because no one else can tell you not to do what's right.

And for a lot of leaders say, well, There is conflict in business. If I choose peace, I will be weak. Peace does not mean nonviolent. I want to be really clear about that. One of my favorite stories is from the Bushido Code in Japan. And there's a samurai whose master is killed by another opposing clan. And he swears vengeance because it was some sort of vengeance thing.

And he goes through the country, and he kills all of the opposing bad guy sort of thing. And he basically is like, I have to avenge my master's death according to our values. And at the very final thing, he finds the other bad guy, the other samurai who actually killed his master. And they have a sword fight. And he's coming in for the killing blow, and the bad guy spits in his face.

And suddenly... The good guy stops and he puts his sword back. And the guy said, you could have killed me. Why didn't you kill me? I said, oh, when you spit in my face, you made me mad. I didn't want to kill you in anger. So I'm going to come back and kill you after I'm calm. So here's the deal.

If you are a CEO who embodies this energetic piece, you are unfuckwithable and your opponents will know it. And when it's time to file the lawsuit or defend yourself, you will do it. But you will do it without emotional pain, without anger, without suffering. And the other side, they're going to feel it because they don't have that energetic peace.
