Always Optimizing? You Might Have Hurry Sickness (feat. Jim Murphy) #622

Today's guest went mega-viral this year. And I'm delighted to welcome him onto Biohacking News. Hurry sickness hides in plain sight. It can be disguised as hustle, optimization, and relentless self-improvement. And yes, biohacking. But underneath? Anxiety, stress, and eventual burnout. Jim Murphy's book, Inner Excellence, came out in 2009… but this year NFL star A.J. Brown was spotted reading it on the sidelines. Then the world woke up. Suddenly, Inner Excellence shot to the top of the charts, and Jim’s counterintuitive advice - slow down to perform better - became biohacker gospel.

Why Most Biohackers Can’t Make Small Talk (feat. Jenny Valentish) #620

Most biohackers can fast for 72 hours or wear a CGM for fun. But ask them to make small talk at a barbecue?
