This book was great for someone who has been using the bio-trackers and has a understanding of their baseline and wants to give their health a level up. The author is well educated and has a diverse knowledge base which he applies to himself. There are real practical ways someone can boost their HRV. However, I do think this book should only be seen as part of the strategy to improve overall health. He makes some nutritional recommendations, mainly in reference to pre competition, which I wouldn’t endorse (power bars, gels, subway sandwich’s, etc). This shouldn’t detract from the book, as I think the authors focus is mainly on competitive performance. He also adds some inspiring stories from his own life which do have the effect I think he intended, to fire you up to make some changes in your life and “think big”. This part of the book does not come off as a “self help” type section.

In the end, i think some of these life changes will result in some physiologic changes in my HRV and RHR, which was my goal. I think this book, in addition to some research on nutrition and sleep could be more of a “total package” of a strategy to live healthily and to promote longevity.

The actual premise of this book could be effectively communicated in 50 pages or less. In summary, exercise (aerobic and strength), eat quality food with high nutritional value, keep socially engaged, do meaningful work, and be a lifelong learner. There was some good information on how to structure athletic training and what sort of activities to pursue to stay active as long as possible (hint, it's not running for most people) and how metrics are important. At times the book did seem to be promotional material for whoop, but I do recognize that if you think you found "The THING" to help people live longer, more productive lives, you are going to give it a lot of attention. I will definitely look more into heart rate variability as the book is well footnoted and it should be easy to find the referenced studies online. There was also some interesting material on how to handle some of the chronic issues of age as joint issues and heart issues and how to stay ahead of them. Overall, it added some to what seems relatively common sense.

Good information on well being and improving health

Author provides good information on how to take better care and be proactive in well being. Anecdotes were good. Writing style and editing could have been better.

A rambling stream consciousness from Dr. Bob.

Some good tidbits but essentially a commercial for Whoop and a random stream of consciousness from Dr. Bob. Not worth it.

Disappointing

It seemed more of an ad for whoop than anything else. I really got nothing from reading it. I have been a long time follower of the author and felt very invisible.
