Story4.5 out of 5 stars 39
In the world of strength and conditioning, learning how to move others not just physically, but also psychologically and emotionally is paramount to getting the most out of them. People are the ultimate performance variable, and understanding how to effectively blend knowledge of proper training with the nuances of human behavior is integral to helping athletes achieve their ultimate goals. Unfortunately, while much attention has been given to the science of physical training, little attention has been given to the science of communication.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 54
It's not you; it's your schedule. Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms - those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits - like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts, working late into the night and then trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend - disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level.

In this myth-busting book, Daniel Lieberman, professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity, tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise - to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, Lieberman recounts without jargon how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion.

Felt like a bit of a sales pitch.
It was a bit, bland and robotic in the performance and it felt like a sales pitch for Precision Nutrition the whole way through. I am already a PN customer, so I wish it was a bit more apparent before purchasing. It did have valuable information in it.

Must read for anyone involved in fitness coaching.
This is an awesome book. I don't often say that any book is a "must read" or in this case a "must listen", but for a fitness professional JB's Change Maker fits that category. This goes deep into what truly matters in the fitness and nutrition coaching business. I have the hard copy book dog eared and highlighted along with the audio version.

A must read or listen to!
I have just only started to dive in.., I am two chapters in and the information, prospective, and experiences shared have already opened my eyes to the hamster I have been running on for the past ten years of being in the industry.
Although I have made improvements in my approach and interactions with clients..., I know this book is going to take me to the next level and allow me to help so many people on my terms, following my true values and living the life that suits me, my family and my goals.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this for the industry, I know it will impact and change many lives.

the best business book of the year for me
👍content is good 👍
narrative is clear if not emotional
but many FAQs, online forms and challenges/exercises were really the best part of the book for me

Much better than I thought 🤯
To be honest, I thought this was going to be another pointless health and wellness book by yet another rich “guru” telling us little people how to “find our inner lion”. This book was not that at all. I’m had the physical copy and digital version for about a year and I’m not kicking myself for not reading it sooner. Thank you Dr. Berardi!
