Jim Boulden: I want to talk about the laziness principle, which is the first section or the first chapter of this book. He says it's a new addition to the way we think about neuroscience and all. It turns out there's a third of a second lag time between when something happens in the world around you and when your brain gets the first signal to something happen. "You can stop feeling guilty about lazy impulses," he says.

How do you tap the power of laziness to improve neuro-fitness?

Your body evolved to save energy. It’s what kept you alive by ensuring you didn’t waste energy on unnecessary tasks. When you aren’t in life-threatening danger, the brain will always encourage rest. But in the modern world, if you give into this impulse too often, you might think you’re lazy.

I’m excited to have Dave Asprey back on the show to dive into this topic today. Dave is the Founder of Bulletproof Coffee, the Bulletproof Diet, a best-selling author, and is known as the father of biohacking. He’s here to talk about his latest book, Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want.

Laziness is natural and healthy. It fueled all human progress by leading to innovative ways to make work easier. Listen in, as Dave talks about how the laziness principle can help you biohack your way to a better body and a healthier brain.
