About the Author

Dave Asprey is a Silicon Valley investor and entrepreneur, a professional biohacker, and the creator of the Bulletproof Coffee made with butter. He is the host of Bulletproof Radio, a nationally syndicated radio show and podcast ranking # 1 with 50 million downloads. Dave serves as president of the Silicon Valley Health Institute. Dave's work came from a fifteen-year crusade to upgrade the human being using all available technologies. The high tech entrepreneur has used hacking techniques and tried everything himself, obsessively focused on finding out: what are the simplest things you can do to be better at everything? Knowing this leads to being bulletproof, a high-performance state where you control and enhances your biochemistry, your body, and your mind so that they work in unison, helping you to perform levels far beyond what you would expect without burning, getting sick, or just acting like a stressed-out idiot. It used to take a lifetime to radically rewrite the human body and feel that way. Technology has changed the rules.
