Draws on cutting-edge studies and traditional world practices to demonstrate how a single day of positive fitness choices can lead to a lifetime of working strategies for optimal performance, mental clarity, and overall better health.

"A single day has never been so powerful. From Aubrey Marcus, founder of the human performance behemoth Onnit, comes a guide to revolutionizing your life by turning one single day of positive choices into a lifetime of concrete strategies for better living, optimal performance, and a stronger mind, body, and spirit. [This book] cuts through the clutter and noise surrounding nutrition, fitness, and mental effectiveness to show you how to supercharge your energy, level up your immune system, decrease stress, and experience mind-altering sex. Guiding you through twenty-four hours of smart, intentional choices--starting with a rock-solid nutrition plan you can actually adhere to and continuing with tools such as intentional breathing, shower temperature, unconventional fitness equipment, and the can't-miss biohacks--this no-holds-barred manual will help you make the most of each moment. This is not a forty-day plan. This is one single day, lived one step at a time. If you have the courage to take the first step, the momentum of the practices you employ will propel you through your day and into a new optimized life--a life filled with the color, vitality, and story of an epic hero. Optimization is not self-deprivation. The indulgences of life bring value and pleasure, and you can count on this process to leave room for a glass of Wine and the occasional mouthwatering red velvet cupcake. [This book] will teach you to maximize the pleasure of these experiences while minimizing the cost. Relying on the latest scientific research and traditional practices from around the world, Own the Day, Own Your Life delivers a holistic optimization philosophy. If you can learn to own one day, imagine what will happen when you string seven of them together. How about 30, or 60, or 365? Own the Day, Own Your Life is the no-bullshit guide for the everyman and everywoman--packed with pragmatic and effective strategies that empower you to enjoy your life, take charge of your health, and own the day."--Dust jacket.
