About this ebook

The founder and CEO of Onnit, the mega lifestyle brand and one of the fastest growing companies in the country, teaches us how one single day of positive choices leads to a lifetime of concrete strategies for better living, optimal performance, and a stronger mind, body, and spirit.

Human optimization thought leader Aubrey Marcus’s personal and professional mission rests on a single question: How can we get the most out of our body and mind on a daily basis?

Marcus answers that question in Own the Day, Own Your Life—an empowering self-help handbook that guides readers to optimize every moment of the day, from waking in the morning, through work and play, until bedtime each night. With small, actionable changes implemented throughout the course of one day, we can feel better, perform more efficiently, and live happier. And these daily habits turn into weekly routines, ultimately becoming part of lifelong healthy choices.

From workouts and diet to inbox triage, mindfulness, shower temperature, and sex, this ground-breaking manual provides simple biohacking strategies for each element of your day. Drawing from the latest studies and traditional practices from around the world, Own the Day, Own Your Life delivers an optimization philosophy, including cutting-edge life-hacking tips, nutritional expertise, brain upgrades, and fitness regiments.

Own the Day, Own Your Life is a must-have "choose-your-own-adventure" guide for total human optimization, delivering pragmatic and effective strategies to help you take charge of your health, including:

  • A Step-by-Step Morning Routine: Learn the three simple things to do within twenty minutes of waking—involving water, light, and movement—to prime your day for success.
  • Evidence-Based Nutrition: Go beyond fad diets with universal principles for eating more fat, cutting out sugar, and using intermittent fasting to fuel your body and brain.
  • Actionable Productivity Strategies: Turn "dead time" into "alive time" with powerful mindfulness techniques that transform your commute into a mobile university.
  • Unconventional Training & Recovery: Build a durable, capable body with fitness regiments that cover everything from workouts and stretching to better sex and deeper sleep.

I thought that this book overall is great. The only reason, I gave it 4 stars rather 5 is because I thought there would have been mention about Mary Jane, though i'm slighty unsure why there wasn't!

Aubrey sets the tone from page one to give you a new way to attack each day of your life. A new battle plan to take each day as your own and make the most out of each moment. From sun rise to sun set, Aubrey shows you little nuances to tweak your own routine for the better. He provides scientific facts to help back his views which provide an abundance of credibility. Definitely worth the read!
