There are four characters in every story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. These four characters live inside us. If we play the victim, we’re doomed to fail. If we play the villain, we will not create genuine bonds. But if we play the hero or guide, our lives will flourish. The hard part is being self-aware enough to know which character we are playing. In this book, Donald will use his own experiences to help you recognize if the character you are currently surfacing is helping you experience a life of meaning.

That's what Shawn Stevenson learned when a degenerative bone disease crushed his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body...until he decided there must be a better way.

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.

Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit.

Publisher's Summary
From the creator of Bulletproof Coffee and author of the best-selling The Bulletproof Diet comes a revolutionary plan to upgrade your brainpower - in two weeks or less.
For the last decade, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dave Asprey has worked with world-renowned doctors and scientists to uncover the latest, most innovative methods for making humans perform better - a process known as "biohacking". In his first book, The Bulletproof Diet, he shared his biohacking tips for taking control of your own biology. Now, in Head Strong, Asprey shows listeners how to biohack their way to sharper, smarter, faster, more resilient brains.
Imagine feeling like your mind is operating at its clearest and sharpest and being able - possibly for the first time in your life - to do more in less time. What if it suddenly became easier to do the very hardest things you do? Or if you could feel 100 percent confident about your intellect and never again fear being the person in the room who just isn't smart enough or can't remember something important?
In Head Strong, Asprey shows us that all of this is possible - and more. Using his simple lifestyle modifications (or "hacks") to take advantage of how the structure of your brain works, you will learn how to take your mental performance to the next level. Combining the latest findings in neuroscience and neurobiology with a hacker-inspired "get it done now" perspective, Asprey offers a program structured around key areas of brain performance that will help you:
- Power the brain with exactly what it needs to perform at its best all day long
- Eliminate the sources of "kryptonite", both nutritional and environmental, that make the brain slower
- Supercharge the cellular powerhouses of your brain, the mitochondria, to eliminate cravings and turn up mental focus
- Reverse inflammation to perform better right now, then stay sharp and energized well into your golden years
- Promote neuron growth to enhance processing speed and reinforce new learning - hotwiring your brain for success
Asprey's easy to follow two-week program offers a detailed plan to supercharge brain performance, including which foods to eat and which ones to avoid, how to incorporate the right kinds of physical activity into your day, a detox protocol for your home and body, meditation and breathing for performance, recommended brain-boosting supplements, and how to adjust the lighting in your home and workspace to give your brain the quality light it thrives on.
A better brain - and a happier, easier, more productive life - is within reach. You just need to get Head Strong.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A must read for everyone.
Awesome book and so easy to listen to, understand and absorb. Dave Asprey has the best voice out there for podcasts, audio books and any audio media and Rob Shapiro is about as close as you can get to narrating for Dave. I recommend this book to virtually everyone that engages in a conversation with me about health and wellness. It serves those who need a jumping off point as well as those that are more knowledgeable. Can't rave enough about Dave's resources #Audible1

Doesn't dissapoint
♡ it. Only discovered Dave Asprey's books about a month ago. I heard about him through a podcast, speaking of his newest release, Superhuman. Had to buy the book. Since then I've finished that book, The Bulletproof Diet and this one. Audio books has allowed me to listen and finish them more efficiently. A lot of his info is repeated, with new discoveries in newer publications but ♡ all of it.

I feel like I paid for an infomercial
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Dave focusing on how successful he's been (how much he's "kicked ass") and how much money he's made in his lifetime makes me suspicious about his motivations for writing his books, especially considering how many products he sells. He comes across as a very savvy business man, but I ultimately felt like much of the book was a sales pitch for his products.

Nothing like this exists, but my stuff
My BS detector turned up to 11 while reading.
Many of the ideas are repeats of things I've heard in the past... but many ideas are new and unique ..
Combine this with the multiple "buy my stuff" requests, and i almost had to turn the book off.
Stay wary, friends.

Snake oil masquerade
Had to stop listening halfway through. You'll notice he uses a lot of the word "I" when describing the effects of the various supplements he's advertising for (his personal anecdotes are not facts and certainly don't mean they'll work for you). He'll describe studies but then makes the leap that therefore "if you eat this you'll have the same effect." while not citing any studies to support that assertion. There's generic health advice like meditation, exercise, and eating dark leafy vegetables to establish credibility but then goes off the rails for EZ Water (which isn't water at all). You'll find bodybuilding and nutrition forums with the author's name and just about everyone is calling this program a scam. Find a credible health book.

very extensive but impractical
I thought the scientific facts in this book were very interesting the only thing is many of the brain hacks asprey suggest are either expensive or impractical but none the less well thought out and backed up. he does try and sell a lot of his own products but also suggest alternatives. at the very least this book has given me the determination to learn more about my brain.

Occasional Nugget But Often Painful and Salesy
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
1. It's basically an infomercial for author's own products
2. The use of technical scientific terminology makes much of the book unbearable
3. With patience you can sniff out a few helpful tidbits

Dave, are you sure?
Would you try another book from Dave Asprey and/or Rob Shapiro and Dave Asprey ?
Scientific truth is difficult to obtain. It’s much easier to choose which is the truth, and belive. For someone that has some formal studies in biochemistry the The bulletproof diet and headstrong seems like a joke. Shoud we count how many mitochondria do you have to see how smart you are? Mmmmm. Aerobic tissues have more mitochondria because they need so for their specific function not because they are “smart”. That the mitochondria are essential organelles and much of our eukaryotic cell function, survival and death is dependent on the mitochondria in not a new knowledge. But that I will be a healthy, lean, smart and better person because I take a god care of my mitochondria seems at least extreme and far from science. And If to do so you need to buy my goods which are pure and non-contaminated by the evil molds, buy my coffee, my brain oil, my supplements. I have no doubt that Dave knows very well how to sell his products. Will they make you headstrong? Well if you buy them is because you need them.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I smiled.
Have you listened to any of Rob Shapiro and Dave Asprey ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
no I haven't.
Did Head Strong inspire you to do anything?
yeah, I want to read the scientific literature supporting the authors claims. Where are they indicated?

BEST BOOK I'VE READ FOR MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE
Where does Head Strong rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I loved this book! Totally loved this book! I didn't even know who Dave Asprey was until a friend of mine (who knew I had been exposed to mold and was recovering) told me about the Bulletproof Diet and that led me to Head Strong. I have listened to a LOT of books on nutrition and diet (e.g., Eat Fat, Get Thin; The Whole Foods Diet; The Immune System Recovery Plan; Super Genes; Hashimoto's Protocol; The Hormone Secret; The Prime; Why Can't I Get Better; Anti-Inflammation Zone; The Gene Therapy Plan; Brain Maker; Missing Microbes; The Hormone Reset Diet; Grain Brain; Why We Get Fat; The Blood Sugar Solution; Eating On The Wild Side; Eat To Live; Wheat Belly; Healthy At Home; The Disease Delusion). And, honestly, Head Strong was the best from ALL OF THESE! He takes all of the information in these other books and wraps it together in a manner that I can operationalize, today, tomorrow, next month and next year. It's my new favorite book of all time. I have purchased it for numerous friends and colleagues since I know everyone can find one thing that helps heal their mitochondria and give them more energy. Thanks to Dave, I'm losing weight, increasing my energy, and totally love the collagen bars in place of protein bars that are made out of toxic ingredients! Keep up the great work and thanks for helping to make my life better!

Fake research , pretty quacky
What would have made Head Strong better?
Real research. The studies he cites are all very old and poorly done. Some only sample 2 people. Some of the studies don't even support the conclusions he pulls from them.
Has Head Strong turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes. I know many of these are sales pitches and this is no different.
Any additional comments?
Overall it's "science" based on nothing more than anecdotes. The "research" is dubious at best, dangerous at worst. Conveniently his company sells what he claims are the best foods. Many people have even tested his coffee for mold toxins and his coffee doesn't fare better than many other brands. Associates with Mercola who the science world knows is a quack. Just a sales pitch that uses a lot of vagueness and buzzwords. He hasn't "hacked" anything but my wallet.

Take with a grain of salt
This book is a mismatch of personal experiences from the author combined with some science, rarely providing credible sources. While a lot of what he says can be verified scientifically, a lot of it is souped up with persuasive positive language to make the reader believe it is true.
For example, the author gives a long and detailed excursion into “Exclusion Zone Water,” saying we should eat cucumbers to increase the amount of it in our body. Google scholar searches yield extremely little peer-reviewed information about this subject, and general searches suggest that it may not even exist, and the initial articles about it are in low-impact journals.
It is frustrating to read this, because the author is intelligent and has a lot of useful information, but he mixes it so much with his own biases and advertises his own products that it makes it hard to decipher what is actually true, what he is trying to sell, and what is something that applies only to him because of his genetic makeup and isn’t applicable to the general population. It seems like the author is either unaware of what the placebo effect truly is, or is using it to take advantage of the readers.

One Long Sales Pitch
Any additional comments?
This mixes facts with wild claims. I do admit that my use of wild is an opinion, which is quite different than how Mr Asprey would present it.
Bottom line: If you think that standing barefoot on grass will change your body's chemistry, then this is the book for you. If you don't, I wouldn't recommend wasting your time.

This book is so good
In short, this book changed my understanding about energy and the crucial role of mitochondria. Dave, not only has an extensive knowledge and experience in the field of biohacking, but he is generously sharing it in a clear, concise and interesting way. I consider his work as being pioneer and avant-garde for a better future of humanity. His book is packed with antidotes to many side effects of modern technology (blue light, toxins, junk food etc..) with high return on investments so to speak.
It's the only audiobook I've listen twice in a row. I've started implementing the bulletproof diet and I have to say, finally I found the way to increase my energy level like never before. I even started to develop a refined sensitivity about my mitochondria and it s a whole new level of consciousness. So cool. Next book on the list: game changer! Thanks Dave!
