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

And I'm just like, I'm strong. I can max out all but two of the machines, but I'm still fat. And I'm sitting in a at a Carl's Jr. with my friends and I'm having the chicken salad with no dressing. Oh, and no chicken because calories. And they're all eating double Western bacon cheeseburgers and fries.

And I'm like, I eat less than any of my thin friends and I work out more than all of them together. It must be because I'm not working out hard enough or eating enough lettuce. Like I just realized what I'm doing isn't working. Like I did what they said and it was not real. And I made a decision. Well, OK, I'm a computer hacker. And that was actually my career.

Pretty soon to meet a group of people three times my age running one of the first longevity nonprofit groups in the world in Palo Alto near Stanford University.

But eventually, if you start biohacking, and I built it this way, first you're going to say I came in because I wanted to fix the sore shoulder or I wanted to lose weight or I wanted to do something. Pretty soon you're going to say, you know what? I got my energy back. I want to live longer. I have more to give. I have more to do. I have more to offer. So suddenly now you're into longevity.
