good book

Very interesting book, easy to read and through in subject matter. towards the end it seems as though random topics are thrown in to give the book more volume. I found the middle chapters describing how to achieve a "4 hour body" most helpful.

Good listen

I listen to Tim's podcasts, so it's odd hearing someone else read his written word. I'm not sure how expensive it is, but for people who podcast often, it may be best to have them read their own writings. Still a good book.

Too much missing

Good book, but too condensed. Missing big chunks of the book.
Didn't care for the narrator. Was easy to understand, but just found the semi-jersey accent annoying.
It is enough to inspire to purchase the actual book, which you would need anyway for reference.

Better than expected

Amazing insight. Stories are great, and the info goes deep. Bring your own and paper.

Required Reading BEFORE MARRIAGE

I am a Bulletproof brand ambassador and love all things bio-hacking. This actually got my ass into the gym. Thank you. The chapter on female orgasmsm might have saved my marriage . . . if only! LOL

An outline of the soon to be new norms

Covers a lot of ground. There is info in here that I can apply immediately and info that I'd need to jump down a rabbit hole to find its utility. My conjecture is that the author will expound with future books. Looking forward to what comes next.

Author provides some interesting advice on items mentioned in the title but i wish there would have been more supporting data.

A well deserved 5 star review.

I remember another author who not only published articles and books that he researched in an acceptable manner but he himself was the test dummy, I'm referring to the late Dan Ducane (if I spelled that right). Tim
has the same attitude and the same nerve to put himself through things that the average person does not have the stomach for. Like the old saying goes, "if you want something done right, do it your self.". No more having to rely on test subjects who may be subjective. I can tell you this, you will get something out of this book if you are human. When you see the actual book you will notice the amount of proof that goes with, either that or he's one of the greatest liars of our time..... Just get it, it's that good.

Not a good Audio Book

Some good tips, but no where close to 4 hour work week. And it seems a bit unhealthy.
