Go Wild

Free Your Body and Mind from the Afflictions of Civilization

De: John J. Ratey MD MD, David Perlmutter - introduction MD MD, Richard Manning

Narrado por: Dan Woren

The scientific evidence behind why maintaining a lifestyle more like that of our ancestors will restore our health and well-being.

In Go Wild, Harvard Medical School Professor John Ratey, MD, and journalist Richard Manning reveal that although civilization has rapidly evolved, our bodies have not kept pace. This mismatch affects every area of our lives, from our general physical health to our emotional wellbeing. Investigating the power of living according to our genes in the areas of diet, exercise, sleep, nature, mindfulness and more, Go Wild examines how tapping into our core DNA combats modern disease and psychological afflictions, from Autism and Depression to Diabetes and Heart Disease. By focusing on the ways of the past, it is possible to secure a healthier and happier future, and Go Wild will show you how.

fascinating listening

I loved the combination of science genres. It was easy to pick back up after not listening for a while and kept me entertained.

Awesome!!

Awesome reading for a different way of thinking living the way different world. You will enjoy.

Great Book. Missed One Important Topic...

There’s just something special about Beef Liver and Bone Marrow. These traditional foods were (and still are) fundamental to our biology. It's incredibly insightful to see how animals in the wild instinctively go for the liver and the bone marrow first — leaving the muscle meats for the birds. Even then, birds will be caught taking marrow bones high into the sky and dropping them onto the rocks in order to gain access to the inside.

Academic, motivating, let's do it!

The research and academic information was very helpful. I especially liked the motivation that it gives and though willingness that it inspires in me to get up and re-wild!
I think this book is great for anyone dissatisfied with a safe and sane life! It's time to grow! This book has been good for that.
