And I am glad I did it. I loved Robert Sapolsky's style, his extensive research and the way he puts it into words and stories. I listened to it as a doctor and, wow! The reading is easy, and very entertaining. Great book! No, really, this book was extremely well narrated and very interesting. Makes what could be boring medical stuff fun to listen to. Some of us handle the stressors in our modern lives better than others and the author does give tips in the last chapter on how these people do it.
Narration is uneven, loud and then too quiet. Story is too detailed and not on subject enough. It never struck my interest, and i really wanted to learn something.
I wanted to hear something that would help, instead all I heard was multiple animal documentaries. I was hoping for something that would help but this just aggravated me. Couldn't stay focused with the tone of voice and drone of information. Could have been a short handout. Well narrated, funny in places with loads of good info. I'll summarise for you; relax, don't sweat the small stuff, make friends, make love, exercised regularly and don't eat crap.
I would recommend this book to anyone! Brilliant book! Accurate, scientific, balanced. Very interesting, educational and insightful! Well read too, the person narrating the book is channeling Sapolsky really well. A great audiobook full facts drawn from interesting studies and delivered in a captivating style.
Sapolsky is a fantastic teacher, in this book he gives an excellent map of a stress territory, it explains many aspects of our daily life in how to cope with it. Brilliant book that covers all the biology behind the human stress response. It's heavy in neuroscience, hormones, etc - so possibly not for the faint hearted. The book was well narrated. I really liked the pdf file with all the diagrams which made some of the terminology a bit clearly, at least for me. Dr Sapolsky is mr. The person which made glucocorticoids part of his life.
That said, the book is amazing regardless of the terminology Is something fresh in the understanding of stress related disease. It can save lives. Peppered with personal anecdotes, laypeople-friendly terminology and analogies, and unbelievable insight into discoveries not found in published literature or rarely hidden in massive textbooks, this book brings together the most up-to-date due to its many revised versions discoveries and ties them neatly in a bundle Sapolsky beautifully narrates a story out of.
Appropriate for laypeople as well as scientists, this book offers a rarely encountered perspective into the neuroendocrinology of stress and all sorts of relevant scientific and non-scientific marginalia and side-stories.
At once great relief and sobering prospect. Thank you. I wish I'd read this sooner. I might have been kinder.. Informative but very hard to follow without some science background.

Amazon Customer Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria.
Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. We use your LinkedIn profile and activity data to personalize ads and to show you more relevant ads.
