Electrocuting Bad Habits To Death: How To Biohack Behaviour, Productivity, Increase Output And Change Your Life By Shocking Yourself — Maneesh Sethi | #027

Summary: Maneesh Sethi is the founder and CEO of Pavlok (https://pavlok.com/), an incredibly interesting behavioural modification tool that's been used by thousands to quit bad habits like smoking, biting fingernails, over-eating, getting out of bed late, and so much more. Based on the theory of Pavlovian Conditioning put forward by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, it works on the principle that some of our deeply conditioned behaviours can be quite easily changed with a mild shock, or tap to the wrist, where the Pavlok device is worn. For biohackers, changing our behaviour is a big deal, and something that most high-performers want to implement more in our lives, to override old programming, negative habits, and everything in between. And like a dog being trained to know when it's dinner time by the ringing of a bell as Ivan Pavlov demonstrated, it's extremely easy to modify some of these behaviours in a very sort timeframe, by having a device like the Pavlok remind us when we're slipping into old modes of conditioning. In this episode, Maneesh talks about how he was inspired to create Pavlok, his story of hiring a "slapper" to slap him in the face in order to be more productive, info about the Pavlok device itself, why you shouldn't be scared of being shocked by the device, the most common behaviours that people use the Pavlok to change, an interesting case study of one Pavlok customer who multiplied his business many times over and changed the way he was productive, some weird behaviours that Pavlok customers have used the device for, and so much more. If you've found it hard to change some of your learned habits over the last few years, or simply have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning with your first alarm, then Pavlok may be the device that can help you. As some have said, it's shockingly effective.   PAVLOK WEBSITE: https://pavlok.com/ PAVLOK COACHING: https://pavlok.com/pavlok-coaching-call/  IVAN PAVLOV STUDY: https://www.simplypsychology.org/pavlov.html  MANEESH ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/maneesh    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?
