Cover of Biohack Your Future Self by Gabriel Long Hardcover edition of Biohack Your Future SelfHardcover edition

New ◆ Book 1 of The Future Human

Biohack Your Future Self

The First Step to Becoming the Human You Choose to Be

Gabriel Long ◆ English edition ◆ Kindle and hardcover, 391 pages ◆ Published 30 August 2026

The first volume of The Future Human Handbook: a practical system for becoming, on purpose, the person you decide to be. It starts with the body, where change is quickest to see and measure, and moves on to purpose, environment, beliefs, subconscious patterns, attention, emotions, habits, energy and personal style.

Every chapter gives you an inventory of where you stand, one rule for life, recommended books, a scored self-test and a 7-day or 30-day experiment. The book separates clearly what established science supports, what comes from traditional wisdom and what is still an idea to explore for yourself.

Old Wisdom. New Paths. The human you choose to become.

Key lessons

  • View morning daylightGet outside light in your eyes soon after waking to set your body clock, and keep evening light dim.
  • Keep a steady sleep rhythmGo to bed and wake up at consistent times; sleep is the foundation for mood, focus and performance.
  • Use your breath to calm downThe "physiological sigh", two inhales through the nose and one long exhale, lowers stress quickly.
  • Train both endurance and strengthCombine cardiovascular exercise and resistance training through the week.
  • Time your caffeineHe suggests waiting 90 to 120 minutes after waking before the first coffee.
  • Work in focused blocksAround 90 minutes of focused work, followed by a real break, supports learning and concentration.

Prof. David A. Sinclair

Professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, longevity researcher

Key lessons

  • Eat less oftenIntermittent fasting and not eating all day long activate the body's repair and survival programmes.
  • Eat more plants, less meatA mostly plant-based diet with less red meat supports long-term health.
  • Exercise with intensityMovement that gets you out of breath activates the same longevity pathways as fasting.
  • Use cold as a stimulusCold exposure is one of the "good stresses" he describes for activating vitality genes.
  • Protect your DNAAvoid smoking, excess radiation and harmful chemicals that damage DNA.
  • Follow the researchSupplements and reprogramming therapies he discusses are active research fields and are discussed openly among scientists.

Lessons are general summaries of the authors' published advice for healthy adults. Talk to your doctor before changing medication, fasting or cold exposure routines.
