Kasper van der Meulen is not only a bestselling author, but also a an acclaimed storyteller, frequent speaker at events, Head Teacher of the Wim Hof Academy and a true human performance expert. However, Kasper’s journey to success was paved with a difficult time in his life. He chronically underachieved for several years and was struggling with attention deficit and performance anxiety. Only after he took responsibility for himself and experimented with new methods to improve his shortcomings, he was able to turn his life around.
His book Mindlift is based on his experiences with self-experimentation and hacking his body and mind. Since he wanted to prove to himself that his methods worked, Kasper wrote the entire book within a timeframe of only 30 days. In order to follow through, he applied a unique set of productivity hacks, which he developed for himself.
