The bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet answers the question, “How can I kick more ass at life?” by culling the wisdom of world-class thought leaders, maverick scientists, and disruptive entrepreneurs to provide proven techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter.
When Dave Asprey started his Bulletproof Radio podcast more than five years ago, he sought out influencers in an array of disciplines, from biochemists toiling in unknown laboratories to business leaders changing the world to mediation masters discovering inner peace. His guests were some of the top performing humans in the world, people who had changed their areas of study or even pioneered entirely new fields. Dave wanted to know: What did they have in common? What mattered most to them? What made them so successful—and what made them tick? At the end of each interview, Dave asked the same question: “What are your top three recommendations for people who want to perform better at being human?”
After performing a statistical analysis of the answers, he found that the wisdom gleaned from these highly successful people could be distilled into three main objectives: finding ways to become smarter, faster, and happier. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave’s years-long immersion in these conversations, offering 46 science-backed, high performance “laws” that are a virtual playbook for how to get better at life.
With anecdotes from game changers like Dr. Daniel Amen, Gabby Bernstein, Dr. David Perlmutter, Arianna Huffington, Esther Perel, and Tim Ferris as well as examples from Dave’s own life, Game Changers offers readers practical advice they can put into action to reap immediate rewards. From taming fear and anxiety to making better decisions, establishing high-performance habits, and practicing gratitude and mindfulness, Dave brings together the wisdom of today’s game-changers to help everyone kick more ass at life.

Many people talk about how useful failure is but don’t explain how or why. The author did a great job of articulating it in a way that makes the most sense to me of anything I’ve ever heard. Imagine you’re in military bootcamp, struggling to survive the rigorous physical and mental demands.
During a particularly gruesome exercise, you come in last place amongst your peers, and you’re punished with extra hours of grueling exercise after everyone else is finished. In the beginning, it is the most difficult and painful punishment you can imagine, and you’re exhausted. Most people would quit because of the pain that this failure brought.
However - you are determined not to quit. In the beginning you are barely able to survive both the normal training plus your extra punishment. But as you progress, and don’t give up, you start to get stronger. What at first seemed punishment is now turning out to be the extra push you needed to take yourself to the next level.
Over time, because you’re working harder than your peers, you start to progress faster than them, and in the end, you not only catch up to their performance, but far surpass it. The failure lead to the punishment which forced you to grow more rapidly or quit, and since you didn’t quit you were able to succeed over those who never had to deal with the punishment of failure. So failure isn’t where the opportunity is - but the personal growth and fortitude required to handle the punishment is.

Don’t try to wrap the sharp world with leather, wrap your own feet. Don’t try to fix all of the world’s problems or change it so that it suits you, work with your own mind to be able to navigate the world.
