Dave Asprey: The Art of Biohacking, Sleep Mastery, and Lasting Leadership

Dave Asprey is widely known as “the OG of biohacking”—a visionary entrepreneur, best-selling author, and pioneer who sparked a global movement focused on upgrading human potential. From transforming coffee into a performance-enhancing tool to turning aging into a choice, Asprey has dedicated his life to uncovering the systems and protocols that optimize health, performance, and longevity. Once a successful Silicon Valley computer hacker with a personal health crisis, Dave used his relentless curiosity—and scientific rigor—to create a revolution now valued at $63 billion worldwide. His latest book, Heavily Meditated, delivers a blueprint for mastering mental and emotional resilience to unlock true human potential.

Takeaways:

You Cannot Hack What You Can't Track: Dave emphasizes the importance of measuring your recovery and performance—using tools like sleep trackers—so you can make meaningful improvements to your health and productivity.

Darkness is a Powerful Bio-hack: Simply sleeping in complete darkness—with blackout curtains and no light leaks—can significantly improve sleep quality, boost cognitive function, and reduce risk of depression and aging-related decline.

Energetic Peace is Key for Leaders: True leadership and personal growth come from “choosing peace, no matter what.” When you master your emotional state and triggers, you lead your team and yourself with more clarity, resilience, and authentic power.

Sound Bites:

“Now, you can hack it because you can track it. You cannot hack what you can't track.”

“One of the cheapest biohacks of all that improves leadership and performance and longevity in aging is darkness.”

“If anything on earth can trigger me, it’s in charge, not me—and that is a very high standard for living.”

Quote by Mick:

“I feel like sometimes our soul needs to know that we are worthy of the praise that we're getting. And so I want you to know, man, like, you are worthy of all of this praise, brother.”
