… to celebrate the imminent release of the new book, we’re doing something different than what you’re used to. Dave is getting interviewed on his own podcast to give you a preview of his book, Smarter Not Harder. In the interviewer’s seat is retired Navy SEAL commander, author, expert in leadership and human performance, Rich Diviney. When Rich was a guest on the show previously (check out episode #937), he talked about mindset, optimism, resilience, and stress. This time, the script gets flipped. This interview intends to educate and inform about the new book and install some new capabilities in your operating systems. The goal is that even if you don’t read the book, you will still walk away from this interview with a brain that works better. Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want is about helping you to become the best version of yourself by embracing laziness while increasing your energy and optimizing your biology. Rich is the perfect person to dive deeply into how the big ideas in this book work and give you an even greater reason to get the mind and body you want. Dave packed “Smarter Not Harder” with practical, accessible information based on the latest research so you can achieve lasting health in less time. It’s biohacking fully applied. You can pick up a copy of Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want at your favorite place to buy books. Watch this episode on YouTube!

Never say, "I'm going to go spend a half hour exercising." Say, "I'm going to go save a half hour exercising." When you make that one switch, the body's like, "Oh yeah, this was a lot less work. I like this better."

Dave Asprey

The book, 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.
