Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
Bulletproof Is a Franchise
I'm building a world full of incredibly dangerous people. These are people who have so much energy and so much power that who knows what they might do. But to do it, that kind of peace is created by profoundly dangerous people because they're powerful. So I very much want bulletproof to succeed and I'm doing what I can to help them. My newest coffee company is called Danger Coffee. It's ultra clean coffee, but it's loaded with trace minerals. When you put them back in your danger coffee, magically when you drink it, you go, I don't know why I want more of this coffee. And it's really expensive coffee, just to even get the green coffee
In the world of neurofeedback, we're going to do some brain training. We know what an average brain looks like but training to be average is a terrible idea. So, what we're doing in our studies with 1,500 high-performance brains of people who have done big things in the world, even some gurus, and we're training brains towards building higher human performance. - Dave Asprey

"There is a sick energy you get from being a victim and we're actually teaching children how to be victims in a very nefarious way right now. When you're a victim, you feel this negative energy and it's kind of addictive because it's validating and you get to feel special. We experience and pass on to younger generations today that there is a merit to being a victim but it turns out the next step in victimhood is to fight against something instead of working towards something else...
...In victimhood training, you will learn how to shift your mindset away from that toxic state of thinking and focus instead on the world that you want to live in, why you want to live in that world, and how to live in that world. It's amazing how tearing something down because it's not fair is so dirty compared to building something up and I think we have lost a lot of that in almost all psychology in popular culture." - Dave Asprey
Why Beliefs Are Dangerous"A belief is a story that you tell yourself and it may or may not be true. Unfortunately, we are wired to usually believe in our own stories. I have legion power of self-deception - so do you and so does everyone else. Beliefs are actually dangerous because once you get a belief, they're infectious. If it's not an accurate belief you will possibly spend your entire life doing something based on that belief." - Dave Asprey
Living a Life Focused on Human Performance"I don't know that I've ever really focused on wellness, ever. I do wake up and I say to myself, 'I want to feel well.' For me, I get lit up by being in a flow state and being in that feeling of awe, joy, and curiosity. For me, wellness is never up there. Wellness is something that's harder to feel if you don't already experience those feelings and flow state. I want my body to work flawlessly but it's okay if it doesn't. For me, I want to feel amazing and not necessarily feeling healthy needs to be a part of that. People get it wrong when they say I'm in the health and wellness industry; I'm not - I'm in the human performance industry." - Dave Asprey
