Buddha and Einstein Walk Into a Bar: How New Discoveries About Mind, Body, and Energy Can Help Increase Your Longevity
Buddha and Einstein Walk Into a Bar presents the revolutionary idea that sensing how long we can live is a latent capacity in us, currently unknown, just like the introduction of fire, the invention of flying, and the discovery of radio waves were before we “discovered” them. Understand how the knowledge of transcendence, consciousness, and self-healing are integral to your well-being.
You could drive a car without a fuel gauge, but knowing how much gas you have clearly gives you more control of your vehicle. Using the latest breakthroughs in cosmology, neuroplasticity, superstring theory, and epigenetics, Buddha and Einstein Walk Into a Bar helps you to master your entire system of mind, body, and energy and provides practical tools to help you live your longest and healthiest life.
You will learn Lifespan Seminar’s multiple-award-winning tools

Q:
Ride this tiger gently. (c)
Q:
Here’s a little ditty that appeared during those years: faith, focus, fun.
Faith in myself.
Focus on my goal.
Fun while I’m traveling this path. (c)
Q:
Insight = looking inside.
On one of these beautiful runs, of physical freedom and excursions of the mind, an insight emerged, somewhere from the crossings of the subconscious and the infinite. (c)
Q:
Dear Albert, you once said, “There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.” (c)
Q:
We don’t get to choose our epiphanies. We don’t wake up one day and say, “Today I’ll have a brilliant idea about life!” By their nature, these notions originate in the Infinite Mind and lodge themselves in our psyche at a particular moment in time. (c)
Q:
Buddha: Know thyself.
Alexander: You can.
Darwin: Use your wisdom.
Lincoln: How does it benefit others?
Einstein: Trust your imagination.
Mandela: Keep your eyes on the prize. (c)
Q:
We are the offspring of supernovas. We are made of star dust.
...
it’s very likely that the atoms in your leg came from a different
star than the atoms in your hand. Our bodies are celestial bodies made of
the same stuff of which the planets and stars are made.
...
We are a further incarnation of a star. We are embedded in this
evolutionary process: Just as a single drop in an ocean contains in it the
character of the entire ocean, so each of us carries in our genes the entire
information of existence. In our cells, everything exists as a potential. (c)
Q:
The echoes of these distant events live in our body—in our genetic
makeup and in our bloodstream. The universe exists in each of us. The
cosmos wants to come to self-awareness and humankind serves as its eyes,
ears, mental processors, communication means, and instruments of further
evolution. (c)

‘Cosmology, neuroplasticity, superstring theory, and epigenetics – Universal Intelligence’
California author and pioneer in the field of human lifespan Guy Joseph Ale is the founding president of Lifespan Seminar and vice president of Asia Pacific Association of Psychology. His focus has been the scientific, spiritual, behavioral, and evolutionary aspects of the awareness that we can sense how long we can live and the practical applications of this insight in daily circumstances. Ale received the Eminent in Psychological Science Award at the International Conference on Psychology 2011. He lives in Los Angeles.
Guy’s internationally known status is due both to his studies and research but is also accomplished by his unique ability to communicate with his audience. In his opening paragraphs he introduces himself in the witty way he writes this entire book: ‘Buddha and Einstein walk into a bar. They meet inside with Alexander the Great, Darwin, Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela. It's their monthly meeting. In each of these meetings one person suggests a topic of discussion. Everyone orders drinks, and because it's Einstein's turn to introduce a topic, he says, “There's this gentleman in Los Angeles, California, named Guy Joseph Ale, who has been researching since 1992 the proposition that we humans have a latent capacity to sense how long we can live. I would like him today to explain his findings.” The others nod in agreement and Einstein says, “Guy, the floor is yours.” Thank you, Albert. Gentlemen. This book would not exist if I hadn't almost died from a lower back emergency in 2007. I explain this in detail later in the book, but for now I'll just say that being that close to death prompted me to ask myself: What is the biggest understanding I have at this point about myself and life? The clear answer that came back was that I'd known since 1992 how long I could live. I've devoted my life since then to researching the scientific, spiritual, behavioral, and evolutionary aspects of this awareness and its myriad implications in everyday life. The simplest analogy of knowing how long you can live is having a fuel gauge in your vehicle of flesh, blood, and bones. You can go through life without knowing how much energy is in your tank, just like early vehicles could drive without fuel gauges. However, developing fuel gauges in later models clearly gave drivers better control of their cars. I realize, gentlemen, that you all represent different parts of my own psyche, the dominant instincts driving me through life. Each one of you gave me guidance along the way. The phrases you communicated would vary slightly at different times, but each of you transmitted a clear message according to what your characters and work exemplify. Buddha spoke of self-knowledge: Understand yourself and trust yourself. Alexander communicated: You live only this once; you can. Darwin stressed an intellectual grasp of this awareness, first to understand it on my own, and then to explain it to others. Lincoln had a singular repeating instruction: How does it benefit others? Einstein focused on imagination: Anything that
is based in reason and facts is possible. Mandela stressed pragmatism and responsibility, for what this awareness means in my own life, and for seeing it through to a broader communication. How does this guidance happen? In several ways. For example, I would go to bed, even last night, a fifty-eight-year-old boy dreaming, and would ask for support. The nickname acronym for all your names is BADLEM. Sometimes one of you would speak up, and sometimes I'd hear a group voice….’This is the voice that wisely brings out attention to Lifespan Seminar tools - Exercises that align the different systems of the body, Mindfulness and meditation—to relieve daily stress, Good nutrition—simple rules sustainable for a lifetime, Proper rest—for your mental and physical peak performance, and Active lifestyle—to stay vibrant through your entire life.
Sound simplistic? No in Guy’s warm manner he brings common sense to the table in the manner in which he recognized it in his own life. Read and LIVE!

Oh, what I would do to be a fly on the wall if Buddha and Einstein were conversing in a bar! I listened to this book, but wish I had the hard copy as there are many nuggets of wisdom I’d like to add to my quote book! 🧘🏻♀️

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this, but I always say “the right book at the right time”. I am working diligently to improve my health and wellbeing, and this book offers some excellent tools and insights in that regard.
Narrator Stefan Rudnicki is an excellent choice, as he has a very positive and no-nonsense tone, but also very calming for the mindfulness exercises.
Excellent all around!

When we understand what we are - we understand that we are limitless.
Įdomi knyga, bet apgavo mane pavadinimas. 3.5/5
Čia yra dar viena self-help knyga, kuriose iš esmės kalbama apie tą patį.

Usually I am interested about books with subjects such as Longevity, Neuroscience also books which are inspiring and this one was one of them and a good one. However I did not find some new hints or discoveries there but I am sure it was intentionally and author must be trying to provide a general understanding for average reader about longevity and wellbeing of mankind. I like the friendly way that author used through his personal experiences in his life and then explaining them to his understandings. I definitely suggest this title to ppl like me with same topics of interest but warn them too not to expect scientific paper but a relaxing friendly book which share an experienced person's experience about longevity and wellbeing.

I actually listened to the audio book that is free until 19/05 with audible subscription.
I got this thinking it was going to be a satire about human life science and spirituality. But, it was a self help book about how to maximise longevity, retrain our minds to achieve all we want and live a healthy, happy life. It explains each part with scientific evidence and gives us exercises to train that particular part. It links the spiritual to a long healthy life and gives evidence of it.
It was interesting, even if a bit too long.

Intrigued by the title, though not quite as intriguing of a book as I had hoped.
Author discusses how mind/body/brain/energy/spirituality/science impact how long you will live, depending on how well we address these items throughout our living.
He had some really intreiguing concepts of tying mind/body/spirit, and felt he was going everything he could to live to 102 years old. He died at 53. Cancer. Although he did say in the book, "hard to control cancer.

More guidence on life with an interesting premise of trying to know your life span. Each chapter comes with exercises to heighten the experience. Skip some , do others: Science and spirituality come together.

"Buddha: Know thyself. Alexander: You can. Darwin: Use your wisdom. Lincoln: How does it benefit others? Einstein: Trust your imagination. Mandela: Keep your eyes on the prize."
At first glance, the title of the book 'Buddha and Einstein Walk into a Bar' caught my eye.
The book has a teaching of how one can live a long and healthy life by making a few changes in their day-to-day life. How one can master their mind, body, and energy. The author further describes the latest discoveries in new cosmology, neuroplasticity, superstring theory, and epigenetics.
In the latter part of the book, the author tells about the importance of meditation, physical exercises, and nutrition. By mastering your mind and body, you can master your life and live more joyfully.
I know most of you have already read about what the author has discussed in the book, in some articles, or on youtube videos. But reading a book can give you a deeper knowledge. I would recommend this book if you want to live a meaningful and conscious life.
