A Spontaneous Life: How I Mastered the Subtle Art of Flow (Unabridged‪)‬

A Spontaneous Life is structured around the mechanics of self-discovery and overcoming adversity, and the importance of human connection. Events instigated by a severe, life-changing bike accident, and the struggles, both personal and professional, that ensued from it, drove elite fitness trainer and biohacker Danny David to undergo a transformational upleveling of his core values and being. His book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of his life philosophy: learning about the world, finding one’s way, and harmonizing with the world.


Within these parts, Danny shares stories from his life, including those of his relationship with his negligent father and his experiences with loss, grief, and vulnerability, to illustrate strategies for personal growth, resilience, and living spontaneously. At the end, Danny describes how, on a two-month-long retreat in Costa Rica, his adventure to master the subtle art of flow culminated in a wild encounter with the ocean itself. In fighting to survive being swept out to sea, he reclaimed his passion for living. His story shines a light on how all of us are stronger and more capable than we know.
