Publisher's Summary

There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Peak is a groundbreaking book exploring the fundamentals of high performance (not the fads), the importance of consistency (not extreme effort), and the value of patience (not rapid transformation). Dr. Marc Bubbs makes deep science easy-to-understand, and with information from leading experts who are influencing the top performers in sports on how to achieve world-class success, he lays out the record-breaking feats of athleticism, and strategies that are rooted in this personalized approach. Dr. Bubbs expertly brings together the worlds of health, nutrition, and exercise, and synthesizes the salient science into actionable guidance. Regardless if you’re trying to improve your physique, propel your endurance, or improve your team’s record, looking at performance through this lens is absolutely critical for lasting success.

Please note: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

No Chapter Labels :(

Why am I only seeing chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3 without any context into what each chapter is about?

This is annoying and will be returned.

Very helpful!!

Great insights on bettering myself to reach my fitness goals, but also provides amazing insights on coaching. Although stating references sound dry, I do appreciate when authors outline their sources and really layout the science behind their points. Although it isn’t the most entertaining when that happens, but that’s the trade off I suppose.

Not just for athletes

I BELIEVE THIS BOOK CAN ALSO HELP YOU IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. SOUNDS LIKE THE QUALITIES DISCUSSED THAT MAKE UP AN ELITE ATHLETE ARE THE SAME THAT MAKE YOU A GREAT HUMAN. ESPECIALLY CHAPETER 12 AND 13 WHO ARE ABOUT MINDSET AND LEADERSHIP.

Very Informative

well written, researched and presented. As a coach I appreciated the width and the breadth of the information as well as the neutral presentation of current trends.

Such a complete book

This book tackles so many interesting subjects yet it manages to underline the most important takeaways. Narrator's performance was also great; good pace and articulation.

Very good!

This audiobook was educational and the narrator read it well. I think they added the perfect amount of evidence-based information, without so many specific details that it would become hard to follow. Good read for anyone interested in health and training.

90% great, 10% mixed

Mostly a fantastic book, though once in a while the evidence that is early/equivocal/not beneficial overall (based on current systemic reviews and other experts in the field, eg. the benefits of uncommonly high vitamin D levels) is given similar emphasis to that which is actually solid; Marc Bubbs qualifies this most of the time, but not always. That being said, 90% of the content was great, consistent with best evidence, and well-delivered.
