Story
The first book of its kind, Peak Performance combines the inspiring stories of top performers across a range of capabilities - from athletic, to intellectual, to artistic - with the latest scientific insights into the cognitive and neurochemical factors that drive performance in all domains. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers new linkages that hold promise as performance enhancers but have been overlooked in our traditionally-siloed ways of thinking.

The authors provide specific steps and actions to take to maintain high performance without burning out. It's eye opening to see how some precepts we hold as true to be completely unsupported by science. Listen to all of the book if you're willing to take your game to the next level.

This book is based on real life events. Theres a jaded tone to the book, one that all cops have. There are horrific cases and stunning cases. all told matter of factly. It's not for the faint of heart but we'll worth the listen.

An excellent addition to the series. it's fascinating to listen to another geopolitical dynamic to WWII. Always has a touch of humour and the thread of a love story with Diana. Real characters that show the multiple aides of the Irish conflict.

This is such a terrific and infuriating story. it's terrific to see the little guy win and it's infuriating to read.aboyt the grind and suffering and illness and sacrifice that was needed to have justice. it's eye opening to see how the author's law firm and family stood by the author for decades. It's maddening to hear all of the legal shenningans and lies and distortions DuPont did to squirm out of accepting responsibility. it's well worth the listen. straight and matter of fact with some key legal insights and some important testimonies from those directly impacted.

Another hit for Benn. The MC uses fantastic lingo that immerses the reader in the setting. The MCs love interest is strong with independent goals. There's enough world building to set the scene without overwhelming you. A few jokes here and there. it's really the characters that make the book. The narrator nailed the accents.

The characters are interesting. The story flows two families for multiple years as they navigate the politics leading up to the American Civil War. There's a grittiness to the characters, particularly Ashton. This book is not for those who dislike authors who head hop. Excellent narration.
