Book excerpt: At the end of our lives, do we not all have the will to be able to say that we fully lived our life to the extent of our abilities? In other words, deep down, I believe we all have the desire to leave this the world knowing that although we make mistakes and had some pitfalls, we did our absolute best to be the highest level of the person we were made to be. The reason we all have this desire is not a selfish one but in fact an unselfish one. This is because when we are optimizing ourselves to function at our premium versions of ourselves, we are providing a stronger, more efficient individual to the benefit of the community as a whole. Then the question arises, how do we know who we are at our maximum level, and better yet, how do we reach this utmost level of attainment and fulfillment? The answer can be summed up to one word: Wisdom. Wisdom is our best friend. It guides us and protects us. It strengthens us and nourishes us. There are many other words for this – Discipline, Knowledge, etc. - but Wisdom is perhaps the word with the most meaning. When humans make it their mission to grow towards something higher, something more transcendent than their baseline selves, they are undertaking the process of acquiring wisdom. Wisdom can be sought in many ways - books, orators, experiences. Biohacking in a most fundamental sense is for all intents and purposes an avenue to acquiring wisdom about ourselves both subjectively and objectively, and taking this knowl- edge to optimize our entire self (soul, mind, & body) for purpose of healthy growth and prosperity. In our forever increasingly busy world full of languishing and slothful distractions, we must continually fight back the urge to give more of our time to these easy, mind-numbing diversions and instead see the present and long-term benefits of allocating our time towards to pursuit of wisdom and optimization, essentially the pursuit of happiness. Prioritize your biohacks and self-growth habits in your life and continue leveling up!
