We have all had experiences with people that prove that those with the highest IQs are not always the most successful. What could these very smart people be missing? Chances are it's emotional intelligence (EQ) - the ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions in ourselves and others. Sounds very powerful, doesn't it? Could we really manage our own emotions, as opposed to having our emotions run the show? Could we really effect change in the emotions of our coworkers or family members?

great book with lot of information.
great book with lot of useful information. some 20% could be trimmed though. focus more on diet and exercise adhering to the book title..could have also focused on mental aspects such as stress life - by giving some significant time in yoga, paranayama and breathing exercise

Interesting points
I learned some facts I was not aware of from this course. It also gave me some pointers on how to make changes in my daily life to get my weight under control. While the professor did fumble some words time to time, it was not unlistenable. I would recommend this course to someone wanting to understand nutrition and how it effects their bodies.

it is incredible. this guy spends literally 80% of the time stating the painfully obvious points. “exercising more is good” , “lifting weights will help you increase muscle mass” , “eat healthier diet” , all these sentences were said by him 50 times in various ways. i’ve never felt my time so disrespected by an audiobook.

Good Content - Poor Narration
I know a lot about fitness, and nutrition and this course does a good job covering a lot of info. Yes, If you know a lot about this topic, then you are going to hear things you already know. Overall I did like the course organization. It was mostly review/reinforcement for me, but I did pick up a few things. I enjoyed the material. It was time well spent learning.
The narration was very difficult for me. The author of the course reads his course notes - almost written like a book. He reads very poorly. TGC should have chosen a professional narrator. He stumbles over his words, and misreads most sentences. Again, he just reads aloud very poorly.

Basic Knowledge
I was expecting more up to date research analysis. Ideally it would have included a major overhaul of these elementary concepts in light of breakthroughs of the genetic factors influencing body composition. I can not recall a single reference to even solid genetic research now ten years old.
It did offer basic nutrition information, good discussion of special senior requirements and a now standard review of metabolic function.

Best nutrition and exercise advice ever
As a woman who has struggled all her life with weight and has tried every possible diet and exercise plan, this audiobook is by far the best, soundest, and down-to-earth advise I have ever come across. I'm slowly starting to implement some of the changes suggested here and I'm feeling better every day, and gaining insight on how my body acts and reacts. Absolutely recommended. If you are reading this, I send you all the best vibes and energy, so you can achieve your goals too!
