Resilience is a virtue in times of turmoil. Biohacking has the potential to build resilience in times of difficulty. In other words, what challenges you makes you stronger.

Resilience is the ability to recover quickly and build immunity against mental and physical ailments. 

Resilience comes from peak life experiences, learning, and profound realizations. It is not built overnight; It is built iteratively over time.

A resilient being is like a phoenix rising from the ashes—stronger, wiser, healthier, and more powerful than ever.

Mastering resilience is a path to a more fulfilling life.

Resilience is an integral part of HOLOLIFE (from the Greek "holos," meaning whole or complete), which takes biohacking and personal development to the next level, combining self-optimization with a mission to build a better world.

Rooted in becoming a better version of oneself, HOLOLIFE emphasizes self-improvement for personal benefit, serving others, and making a positive global impact.

From the authors of the Biohacker's Handbook comes the most ambitious literate, illustrative, and scientific review to date, combining the science of resilience with the science of longevity. Medical Doctor (University of Helsinki), Science Author & B.A. Integral Theory (JFK University) Olli Sovijärvi, Futurist & Technologist Teemu Arina, and 8-fold best-selling author Siim Land synthesize, summarize, and illustrate how you can master the biology of resilience for a well-functioning body from the level of a single cell up to the whole organism.

The book includes hundreds of illustrations backed by 800+ up-to-date scientific references. You will learn everything you need to know to become a Resilient Being.

The HOLOLIFE book series delves into the multifaceted nature of resilience, exploring how individuals and communities can adapt and thrive in the face of challenges. The Resilient Being serves as the foundation, focusing on the innate resilience within our physical selves—the biological and physiological mechanisms that enable us to withstand and recover from stressors, whether they be environmental, physical or emotional. The book series also highlights the experiences and deep knowledge of its authors, ranging from theoretical facts and data to experimental protocols and details, helping readers become the most resilient version of themselves.

Forthcoming Hololife books:

– The Mindful Being: Cultivating a Mind Primed for Growth & Adaptation

– The Transcendent Being: From Self-Optimization to Self-Actualization
