Jeffrey Karp, Ph.D.

A Medical Biohacker Reveals 7 Shortcuts to Greatness

For fans of Cal Newport's Deep Work and Peak by Anders Ericsson.
Think of LIT (Library of Ignition Tools) as Flow 2.0

The traditional flow state, first described by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, can feel like climbing into a cave and disappearing from the world. Yet today's world doesn't permit that kind of isolation and submersion. We need something for the lives and brains we live with and must work with today. We need high energy brains to next level our creativity and focus. But how do we filter out the noise and get back to the lives we want? Lives full of happiness and meaning?

The best people to teach us how to cope may be the very people who've struggled the most with attention and learning challenges. They already know how to thrive in a world filled with constant stimulation, distraction, and robotic scrolling. Dr. Jeffrey Karp, Ph.D. is one of them.

As a child, Jeff was sidelined in special ed, confused and frustrated. He became an esteemed bio-engineer and professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT. That sounds impressive enough, but doesn't include nearly enough of his other accomplishments: spearheading his own lab, starting 6 companies, winning over 50 prestigious awards, holding more than 100 patents, and publishing more than 125 peer-reviewed journal articles
