Summary: Asprey (The Bulletproof Diet) mines both conventional and unconventional techniques in this haphazard but sneakily instructive book. Core is his belief in the all-encompassing power of “the three Fs”: “fear (run away, hide from, or fight scary things in case they are threats to your survival); feed (eat everything in sight so you don’t starve to death and can quickly serve the first F), and the third F-word, which propagates the species.” To harness these innate human desires, he builds his book around 46 high-performance “laws,” which include both accepted, mainstream, and more out-there concepts. While some of Asprey’s suggested techniques are admittedly controversial or of questionable merit—microdosing on psychoactive drugs such as LSD to decrease anxiety, treat alcoholism, and promote self-awareness; restricting orgasms for men while promoting them frequently for women to balance hormones; adding butter to coffee for bursts of energy—far more are decidedly sensible. He advises readers to investigate their own fears fear, explore dietary choices, foster positive thinking, enjoy downtime, learn the power of visualization, use the power of “no” to reduce burnout, load up on omega-3 fatty acids, and avoid “weasel words” (can’t, need, bad, and try). He helpfully includes thought-provoking action items at the end of each chapter, as well as recommended podcasts from his own Bulletproof Radio. Asprey’s motley collection of firsthand tips will inspire and encourage readers.
