Frequently Asked Questions



What is lifehacking?
We define a lifehack as an efficient, effective method for improving your life. A good lifehack solves a problem you have in your life, often with an element of cleverness, elegance, and speed. We informally think of lifehacking as “scientific self-improvement”. It’s about using the latest science and technology to help us grow.


What do I bring/wear?

Bring your laptop so you can work on your goals. Light exercises are part of the Spark Weekend, so wear clothing that doesn't excessively restrict your movements. If you'd like to get into the spirit, wear brighter colors!


What's your refund policy?

If you can no longer attend Spark Weekend, please email your receipt to hello@selfspark.com. We will issue you with a credit note to the value of your registration, for use against any future Spark Weekends falling within 12 months of the date of issuance. We are not able to provide refunds for cancellation.


What's the difference between Day 1 and Day 2?
Both Day 1 and Day 2 cover Mind, Body, and Sleep. Each day will be a unique experience with different speakers and mentors offering different lifehacks.  You will choose which track or tracks you want to focus on each day.


Who's going to be there?
