New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
– Recovery Device
The Hypervolt: The Hypervolt is my brand new toy that is saving me quite a bit of money on massage therapy, and that I'm able to now use as a laser-targeted toy to be able to get rid of injuries, adhesions and muscle tension fast. It's incredibly quiet (I've been using it in airports), and is described by the crazy inventors at Hyperice (they also make vibrating foam rollers and balls) as a “cordless state-of-the-art vibration massage device that helps relax sore and stiff muscles to improve mobility”. It weighs just a couple pounds, fits into my messenger bag that I carry my laptop in, and the high-torque Quiet Glide™ motor has 3 speed settings that deliver up to 3200 percussions per minute, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and 4 interchangeable head attachments. If you're an athlete or like to exercise, you need to own this, period. You can order the Hypervolt here and use code BEN at checkout for $25 off trying this baby.
– Fiction Book
A Wizard of Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle): I'm a huge fan of both reading and writing fiction (this is my fiction book) and my latest read is A Wizard of Earthsea. Originally published in 1968, Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea marks the first of the six Earthsea titles. Ged was the greatest sorcerer in Earthsea, but in his youth he was the reckless Sparrowhawk. In his hunger for power and knowledge, he tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tumultuous tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance. I recommend a bit of fiction reading at night to induce relaxation, shut off busy business thoughts for the day, and even induce a few fun lucid dreams. Grab the first book of the series here.
– Website For Reading Books Faster
Optimize: One of the ways I get through the world’s best books f-a-s-t is the fantastic app/website called “Optimize.”. What is Optimize? It’s simple, really. The good folks at Optimize (including the owner of the site, and my friend and former podcast guest Brian Johnson from How A Philosopher CEO Has Achieved The Ultimate Combination of Fitness, Health And Happiness) read every one of the best books (primarily focusing on health, wealth, self-improvement, neuroscience, fitness, business, nutrition, lifestyle and philosophy) and then summarize these books in easy-to-digest, 20 minute audio .mp3’s or very short 5-6 page .pdf’s with the biggest ideas, summaries and most important takeaways. So in less than 6 months, I easily made it through the 400+ books on their site, often while I was hoisting dumbbells, walking in the sunshine, or driving in my car. So you get more wisdom in less time. You can click here to get into Optimize now for…brace yourself…the shocking sticker price of 10 bucks a month. Actually, I talked to the nice folks at Optimize and they’re even knocking a buck a month off if you click here and use code “BEN”.

Special Announcements:
::: The Halo Sport Is My #1 Tool for Easily Boosting Performance :::
I consider the Halo Sport to be the most “dangerous” piece of training equipment I own; it allows me to push my body and brain to levels I’d never be able to reach on my own. It not only puts you in the zone but makes you relatively impervious to extreme workout discomfort. It’s almost unfair. I train with it 1 x per week and I swear by it. Listen to my podcast episode with Halo Neuroscience, the makers of this powerful tool for biohacking your workout and during our discussion, you will discover:
-How transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) stimulates your brain…
-Why workouts and skill acquisition actually feel easier after you “shock your brain”…
-The pro athletes currently using the Halo and what they have reported for results…And more!
Halo is massively dropping the price on their technology just for you! The importance of the brain in training is truly remarkable. Try it for yourself and realize the benefits of neuro priming. Use code: GREENFIELD here to save.

::: Save 10% on Alms Bio Liposomal Glutathione with CoQ10 and PQQ :::
I have often preached about the benefits of perhaps the most potent antioxidant for longevity, reducing oxidative stress, fighting auto-immune disease, caring for your skin and appearance and much, much more. The antioxidant in question? Liposomal glutathione. If you are seeking an extremely potent formulation of glutathione specifically formulated to support antioxidant of free radicals, support enhanced and appropriate cellular energy, and support mitochondrial health and biogenesis of new mitochondria – powerhouses of the cells.

– December 13-15, 2018: World Congress 2018 Hosted by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. If you attend any conference this year, make it the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine’s 26th Annual World Congress. The fact is, in an era of andropause, low libido and deteriorating men's health, it's shocking that both practitioners and the public aren't aware of ancestral wisdom and modern scientific and medical tactics that be used to optimize male physiology. It's time that changed, and I'll be teaching exactly how to make men, men again. Join me!

I can’t get the Hyoervolt code to work. Had it expired?
I found out it’s only good through August 2018
Alms Bio discount code isn’t working.
It does work….there seems to be an issue with the site page where it *looks* like it isn't working, but when you proceed through shipping method it is still there. Hope that helps! Working with their team to solve the glitch in the meantime.
BenGreenfield10 should resolve the confusion
Thanks. The new code worked.
