My Book: Breaking out of Homeostasis
“Breaking out of Homeostasis is one of the most important books I have read in a long time. You read one or two books every few years that completely change the way you see the world and this is definitely one of them.”
~Martin Sandquist, Billionaire (Founder Lynx Asset Management)
I worked for three years and read more than 200 books as part of the research to complete Breaking out of Homeostasis. It became a bestseller in its first week.
Homeostasis is the biological mechanism in all living things which conserves energy and prevents change. Breaking out of homeostasis (BOOH) is my philosophy for being successful in the 21st century by achieving Mind-Body Mastery. You’ll learn to use to brain more, deal with stress better, and become more adaptable. It’s been called “a synthesis of evolutionary theory, physiology, and neuroscience–put into practical tips that you can easily apply to your life”.
