What he offers, is bite-sized buddhism, and it's made him a huge celebrity. His books have been translated into over 30 languages and are great guides not only to mediation but also to overcoming the challenges of everyday life.

Biohacking is a theme on this podcast. Let me explain that. I look at cutting-edge hacks for improving your health and energy.

But it turns out cutting edge often involves natural, non-pharmaceutical ways to improve one's performance, wellness, health and longevity. I'm always all up for natural solutions. So today... Discover the tradition and science of plant-based medicine to help you live stronger, smarter, and maximize your genetic potential Oh and what the botanical biohacker Andrew Miles calls the natural viagra gets a mention too.

How To Be Better At (Almost) Everything - Pat Flynn #203
Want to become better than most people at most things? Author Pat Flynn has a philosophy he calls Generalism. He says it better to be better at many things, not best at just one. From there, you combine abilities to create a competitive advantage at anything you could want—a tactic known as "skill stacking." So the question is… how do we get better at almost everything…. That's the theme of Pat's book, so I asked him that question.
