Super Sapiens

How to know your mind and develop your capabilities.

The origins of procrastination are in human beings’ energetic efficiency mechanisms. Doing something always requires more energy than not doing it. Eating that slice of cake even though you’re not really hungry is the natural response from mechanisms that have been perfected over millions of years of human evolution. In this book, Pedro Vivar explains how procrastination really works, and how we can use this knowledge to develop our physical and mental abilities to the max. He sets out a series of strategies and tools that we can use to access the full potential of our identity.

Drawing on resources from philosophies such as Buddhism, Stoicism, Tao and hidden religious messages alongside the latest tools of modern psychology, Vivar goes one step further, introducing the concept of ‘Super Sapiens’. In doing so, he examines the different kinds of brain that govern our actions. Starting with a series of small actions we can incorporate into our routine, we will learn how to elevate our energy levels, prioritise discipline and responsibility and, ultimately, to better understand ourselves, so we can become the best that we can be. Most importantly of all, we will learn to leave our ego behind and evaluate our progress towards our destination.
