Mindfulness is not about complicated and otherworldly woo-woo spiritual practices. It doesn't require you to be a part of any religion or a movement. What mindfulness is about is living a good life (that's quite practical, right?), and this book is all about deepening your awareness, getting to know yourself, and developing attitudes and mental habits that will make you not only a successful and effective person in life, but a happy and wise one as well.

A sandwich cart vendor finds a way to reuse leftover pita bread and turns it into a multimillion-dollar business (Stacy’s Pita Chips).

Story
Humans, unlike other animals that are drawn to water, are not natural-born swimmers. We must be taught. Our evolutionary ancestors learned for survival; now in the 21st century, we swim in freezing Arctic waters and piranha-infested rivers to test our limits. Swimming is an introspective and silent sport in a chaotic and noisy age; it’s therapeutic for both the mind and body; and it's an adventurous way to get from point A to point B. It's also one route to that elusive, ecstatic state of flow.

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.

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.

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.

Please get a professional narrator....
The narrator sounds so close to a computer voice, at times I wondered if it actually WAS narrated by a computer. The monotone, lack of inflection, awkward pauses...its almost too much. Im afraid that the audiobook version of this otherwise good book will cause alot of people to miss out on useful information. It truly, truly is a struggle to focus and listen to this narrator.

Awesome!
My favorite part about this book is that the author asks many questions that he then goes on to answer objectively with sound scientific research. He doesn’t add his own opinion unless clearly stated and he doesn’t exaggerate or underestimate findings. It is clear and a book you may want to put on repeat a few times until you’re able to understand all of the concepts. They are scholarly and can give your brain a little twist if you’re not a commoner of functional medicine principles.

This book is very well narrated considering the high caliber content included in every chapter. I use Audible.com to preview books on my Amazon.com wish list. This is definitely one of those books that I will proceed to purchase the hardcover version. There’s so much to learn from that it simply requires more than just listening to it. It is definitely a keeper for your personal ‘sports science’ library.

Audiobook is not the best format
This book is absolutely packed with really interesting information on what medical science knows and doesn’t know about wellness, fitness, and athletic performance. However, much of the book is written in lists or blurbs that don’t translate well to the audiobook format. In addition, it’s read by the author. I usually like when this is done as the author knows just how they intended for a sentence to be inflected, but in this case it is really difficult to listen to. He constantly pauses at strange places within a sentence or even a word, which makes it very difficult to follow what is being said. I really wanted to be able to listen to this whole book but I just can’t get past the strange stilted performance.

A bit too superficial
This book attempts to cover everything w.r.t. performance and, in doing so, fails to cover most anything to an insightful level of detail. If you're new to performance then maybe it's helpful but if you're already well read in the field then it's too superficial.
