WELCOME TO YOUR
BLUEPRINT FOR
BECOMING BOUNDLESS.

The average person wanders through life with brain fog, bloating, gas, indigestion, constipation, crunching joints, insomnia, lost libido, fibroids, cysts, acne, and piles upon piles of a lifetime of accumulated excess fats releasing inflammatory molecules and squeezing the lifeblood out of their organs. And amid all this physical pain and fatigue, were constantly searching for evasive meaning and elusive happiness. Look around you. Were a step away from being the useless, soft-drink-sipping blobs who float on hovering chairs through the hallways in the robot cartoon Wall-E .

This complete lack of realization of our full human potential begins when were babies, as we can see in the host of health issues the up-and-coming generation is experiencing, including lack of proper muscle and brain growth, immune system weakness, low IQ, stunted growth, obesity, depression, attention deficit disorder, social anxiety, and other frustrating problems that parents, teachers, and society as a whole now accept as all too common.

But what if this didnt have to be?

What if our kids were tiny, optimized human machines?

After all, Mozart learned to play the piano at the age of four, composed his first piece at age five, and wrote his first symphony at age eight. Pablo Picasso, when he was just twelve, had an astonishing grasp of the fundamentals of art and was producing photo-realistic anatomical sketches. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was churning out intricate, lifelike stone sculptures at only eight years old. But these folks arent special childhood prodigies, savants, or some kind of unique geniuses. These are normal human beings. Sadly, in our modern era, weve forgotten how to nurture and grow an amazing human mind, body, and spirit. Instead, weve settled for a generation of kids who wind up on PeopleOfWalmart.com attached to leashes and chewing on Ritalin.

And what if we adultsyou and Icould leap out of bed each morning and tackle the day with the extreme ferocity of an electrified tiger? What if our performance, fat loss, recovery, digestion, brain, sleep, hormones, and spirits were optimized and firing on all cylinders? What if we all walked around like superheroes with a body like Batmans, a mind like those of the heroes of the smart-drug movies Limitless and Lucy , and a spirit like an enlightened yogis? What if you could speed-read, memorize cards, remember the names of everyone at the cocktail party, wear any jeans you want, step onto a beach with your chest out and abs in, age gracefully with zero Botox and liposuction required, and have an intense feeling of inner peace, love, joy, happiness, and spiritual satisfaction?

What if this ability to look, feel, and perform at the human bodys full capacity wasnt the stuff of lore but was instead the status quo? Sure, there are UFC and NFL gladiators fighting for glory on television with optimized bodies, random monks and meditators wandering the planet with optimized spirits, and professional poker players, computer programmers, and race car drivers hunched over card games, keyboards, and steering wheels with optimized minds. But in a perfect worlda world that is fully attainableyou would have it all: total optimization of body, spirit, and mind.

You would be, in a word, boundless .

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

Allow me to give you an example of the type of person who could use a guide for becoming boundless. Imagine a man named Kevin. Kevin is standing in front of his bathroom mirror: frowning, concentrating, and flexing all at the same time as he stares at and analyzes his thirty-two-year-old body. For the past five years, hes lived as a self-described health seeker and has even been accused of being a woo-woo fitness geek, but its certainly been an uphill, frustrating battle of perusing recommended books, scrolling through fitness blogs, and experimenting with low-carb, low-fat, low-gluten, low-dairy, low-lectin, and definitely low-taste diets. Yet his body still doesnt feel right. At his desk job as a materials engineer, he scrunches the glasses up his nose and squints at the computer monitor when his afternoon brain fog sets in; hes never actually done that triathlon he keeps saying hell eventually do; and his gut rumbles with mild, distracting bloating all through the day. Despite some success at hacking and upgrading his body and brain, he still feels empty, and hes considering signing up for his eighth ayahuasca retreat so that he can keep working on finding his purpose. Hes also considering opting instead for a ten-day Vipassana meditation, which he just heard on a health podcast is a better way to discover how to live the adventurous, joyful, fulfilling life he craves and hasnt found yet.
