About

Hi, I’m Edwin Leo

I study human evolution and how we can practically apply what we learn about human evolution to live a brighter life.

At EdwinLeo.com I share the evolutionary science that makes us smarter and brighter.

I am the author of How To Be Smarter: Brighter Brains Meditate, a practical guide built on evolutionary science that shows you how to use the Brain Balance Principle to be smarter and brighter.

If you want to learn more I’m happy to send you new answers and articles.

Life Changing

The question at the heart of my work is:

“How can we live a brighter life?”

I use science to understand how the human brain evolved and explain how meditation is a key part of cognition in a way that is easy to apply in daily life.

Human evolution is a vast subject and meditation has a rich history. Studying modern sciences such as evolution, biology, psychology and neuroscience allows me to avoid what doesn’t work and shine a bright spotlight on what does work.

How I Meditate

Here’s how I give my non-conscious brighter brain the space and time it needs to learn, make decisions and solve problems.

Walking

From a quick 15 minute brain boost at lunch to hiking for hours through the beautiful countryside on weekends and holidays.

Resting

Sitting or lying down on the bed, sofa and floor.

Bath

Relaxing hot water and a long soak.

Nature

Watching nature frees my mind. Watching fish swimming, water flowing, trees blowing in the breeze and clouds floating by.

Exercise

Weightlifting and bodyweight fitness.
