Train your brain to think in images. - Grandmaster of Memory Mattias Ribbing

“Max, take the newspaper and tell me a page number." Mattias looks at me with a broad grin, like a magician before his best trick. I told him a number and he began reciting the content on the entire page, the headlines, the details in the text, even the names of the photographers mentioned below the photos in fine print.

Mattias noticed that I was very much blown away and enticed me: “This is no witchcraft, Max. Everyone can learn this and now I'll teach you how…”

Mattias Ribbing is a bestselling Swedish book author, beloved speaker at a multitude of events, a great musician and an acclaimed Grandmaster of Memory. More than that, he is considered one of the best memories and brightest minds in the world.

Mattias and I spoke already several times at the same event including the Bulletproof Biohacking Conference in Los Angeles and the Biohacker Summit in London but we really got to know each other when we randomly sat next to each other on a flight from London to Austin, Texas, to attend the Paleo f(x) Conference (you know you're having a connection when the passenger row in front of you starts complaining to the flight attendants).

In this very inspiring episode, Mattias and I discuss the advantages of the ketogenic diet before competitions, why he is excited about living in the countryside, what the term Biohacking means to him and how our memory really works. He also shares a powerful visualization technique that everybody can use in order to boost memory while reading anything.

The video of this episode is a bit bumpy but the audio is fantastic. That's why I would recommend listening. If you are struggling remembering things in your everyday life, then this episode will be a true gem for you.

Enjoy!

"Martin, lass einfach das Mikro anmachen. Das wird es schon aushalten!" Martin, unser botanisch versierter Ingenieur und Podcast Guy im Team schaut mich ein wenig skeptisch an. "Max, ich bin nicht sicher, ob das eine gute Idee ist." Nach ein paar Bekräftigungen, dass im schlimmsten Fall ich persönlich die Haftung trage, willigt Martin ein und wir nehmen unsere erste "Sauna Talks" Episode bei 90 Grad Celsius auf.

In einer finnischen Holzsauna im Flowgrade Headquarters sprechen Martin und ich über die nächsten Flowgrade Produkte, den Biohacker Summit in Helsinki, Wim Hof Atmung und wie du dein Gehirn flexibler machen kannst mit Neurofeedback und Binaural Beats. Viel Spaß und lasst uns unten in den Kommentaren wissen, was ihr von diesem "Sauna Talks"-Format haltet!

“So ein Atemabend kann einem schonmal ein bis zwei Jahre Psychotherapie ersparen.” - Klaus C. Ulbricht


Ein Schwall positiver Schwingungen empfing mich, als ich das erste Mal in Klaus’ und Vidya’s Wohnung trat. Es war angenehm hell, roch wohlig nach Räucherstäbchen und die etwa zehn anwesenden Personen strahlten und machten es sich in Schneidersitzen auf den herumliegenden Kissen bequem. Mein Kumpel Walther hatte mich zu einer Lichtatmung eingeladen und ich war schon ein bisschen aufgeregt, nachdem ich erfahren hatte, dass holotropes Atmen schon einer psychedelischen Erfahrung gleichkommt. Beim Lichtatmen wird eine Form von Hyperventilation genutzt, also schnelles, kräftiges Atmen, um sich während der Meditation in einen veränderten Geisteszustand zu versetzen. Die Sitzung war in der Tat beeindruckend.

We all know how the feeling of not having accomplished what we set out to at the start of the day. Not a good feeling… quite the opposite. We even feel unproductive sometimes when we actually were productive. The reasons for this lie deep in our human psyche. We seem to be programmed to be unhappy. Good news though: There are methods to escape this negative thinking pattern.

After a wonderful Part 1 with UJ Ramdas on the art of gratitude, you will learn in Part 2 why we constantly feel unproductive and how we can change that. My guest UJ Ramdas is an expert in behavioral psychology, a trained hypnotist, author, and one of the creators of the Five-Minute Journal, a gratitude journal for the daily practice of thankfulness. Together with his co-founder Alex Ikonn, he recently published their second product, the Productivtiy Planner to help you overcome procrastination and follow through on all of your projects.

Enjoy another very special episode with UJ Ramdas and leave us your questions below! We hope you can put the advice to good use and become and feel more productive in your life.

Gratitude…is the counting of one’s blessings. - UJ RAMDAS

The occasional pauses make me ponder if UJ Ramdas, a trained hypnotist, uses a special hypnosis method to make me pay close attention. The man thinks before he talks and the topics he covers are of great interest to anyone aiming for a happier and healthier life. I was lucky to record two episodes with UJ. In this first one, you will learn how you can use the daily practice of being grateful to become happier, healthier, and more successful.

“So they really froze their testicles?” I thought I misheard the last phrase from Pessi. “They did! This technique was well known among bodybuilders in the Soviet Union.

The young Pessi is an active personal trainer, speaker and published author of two health books. His latest book The Guide For Naturally Boosting Testosterone helps guys to reach optimal testosterone levels. The book was published in Finnish and will be translated to English later.

"The more comfortable you are with yourself, the easier it is to be healthy.” – Nelli Lähteenmäki

Nelli Lähteenmäki (@nellieliina) is co-founder of the super successful YOU-App with Jamie Oliver, co-author of the recently published Book of You and one of my favorite people in this world. With her outgoing personality and irresistible charme, this Silicon Valley entrepreneur does not really fulfill the Finnish stereotype of being introverted and quiet. Nelli spreads positive vibes and happiness around her and with her big smile, quick wit, and constant use of her favorites words “brilliant” and “awesome”, she can brighten up a whole conference hall.

I first met Nelli at the European Quantified Self Conference a couple of years ago and we instantly had a great connection. We kept in touch ever since and I am regularly asking for her valuable advice with all of my projects. Nelli’s quest to make the world a healthier and happier place is being reflected in all of her work, especially the highly successful YOU-App, which she started with her co-founders Aleksi Hoffman and Nora Rosendahl, as well as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver as brand icon.

In this episode, Nelli and I talk about the power of micro-actions for self-affirmation and feeling good about yourself. We dig into the research about habit change and what it takes for you to make lasting changes and create a path to a more fulfilled, happier, and healthier you. Enjoy!
