Super Human: A Biohacker's Guide to Performance, Longevity, and Optimal Health

Dave Asprey, author of several bestsellers, offers methods to improve your body and fight aging—so that people of any age can get rid of illnesses and become more productive in all areas of life.

It’s commonly believed that once the peak of life is passed, the human body begins to steadily deteriorate. But Dave Asprey’s research suggests that this process can be controlled. Getting older doesn’t have to mean aging—on the contrary, the number of years lived is a great incentive to bring your body’s work to perfection while acquiring truly superhuman abilities.

After reading this book, you’ll learn how rather simple but useful adjustments in nutrition, lighting, sleep schedule, and physical activity can improve cognitive functions, make you as energetic and capable as possible, and help you maintain great shape for many, many years.

Who is this book for?

For those who want to enhance the capabilities of their body and bring the work of their body to perfection.

For those who strive to preserve health, energy, and performance for many years to come.

For those interested in how to slow down the aging process and increase life expectancy.

From the author

The most important innate needs of all forms of life—from bacteria and fruit flies to tigers—are the same. But only for us, humans, the brain is developed enough that we can consciously take a set of specific actions aimed at making it as rare as possible to end up in situations that are overly dangerous to life. The irony, though, is that planning and carrying out those steps is often hindered by exactly the natural traits and instincts that are, in essence, supposed to help the body live longer, staying strong and healthy.

In this book, we’ll first discuss the biological factors that contribute to the development of most diseases common among elderly people, and how to protect yourself from the influence of these factors.

Once your body “learns not to die,” it’s time to move to the next stage of development, where technologies must be applied—from the simplest to fairly unusual, intricate, super-modern ones that make it possible not only to live longer, but also to preserve the energy typical of youth. We’ll also talk about methods to fight aging, which you can think of as revolutionary and quite suitable for developing superhuman abilities in yourself.

It’s commonly said that time is the only resource spent without return, but I don’t agree with that. I, your humble servant, have tested various longevity biohacker secrets on myself, and I can guarantee that if you take these tools and techniques into your arsenal, time won’t merely slow its pace—it will begin to be preserved, like a reserve intended for future achievements.
