This is a great book. While I was listening to it I knew I was going to listen to it again. I might even buy the book as well. I don't know if you can compare it to the Martian really, this is a great book in and of itself and I don't want to try and compare them. This is just after my first read through, so I'm not sure yet.

The storyline is engaging, the science seems right on, the plot is compelling, and the narration is great; the narrator owns it. This seems like a made for audio audiobook.

It was very hard to stop listening to this book. This is one of those books you will probably sit down and listen to.

This is definitely worth a credit, and you won't be disappointed.

A really great book.

This was a great book. It's laid out in a logical format and progresses at a steady pace. John starts out by giving you some highlights about what he is going to get into. Then he dives into each one in a methodical and clear way giving facts and stories reinforcing the data and oftentimes uses stories from his own life and career. John then follows up with a summary of each topic at the end of the book with some more context and how they each connect. There are also free charts, forms, and questioners you get access to when you buy the book and they are awesome.

It is, however, a pretty deep dive into each topic, and not light reading. If you try and answer the questions he asks about yourself there's going to be a lot of internal back and forth but there is still plenty of value if you're not the journaling type. Sometimes I had to stop and think about what he was saying and let it sink in, which is when I grabbed my highlighter. If you're the kind of reader that really wants to chew on the subject matter like a steak and give it some thought, I'd recommend the paperback edition of the book. If you are used to audiobooks and don't mind listening to it once or twice I highly recommend the audiobook because John reads the book himself and I think you get a little more context from his voice then the pages. I really enjoyed listening to him.

If you're interested in the Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification, and still on the fence, I would highly recommend this book. I am working my way through the certification now, and a lot of the coaching mindset comes out in this book and a lot of the Precision Nutrition principles are baked into this book. I would also highly recommend the certification for those on the fence.

This is a series for people who don't know the America Classics and want to listen to a great overview and explanation from an amazing professor who could be a professional narrator.

Beautiful Story

Reviewed: 01-13-19

A wonderful tale that is like a woven tapestry that is told strand by strand. You will not fully understand the story until you have finished it. This mirrors the way the main characters learn and grow as well. Wonderfully written and narrated as well. Worth the credit and the time. I plan on listening to it at least twice more to fully understand it.

And it was a great read as well. Took my awhile to get used to the narrator, but as he is reading a textbook, more or less, he did a fine job.

The pace of the information was good, and interesting. In the beginning they give a brief overview of the material, then the go in deep, and afterward give another overall summery, that was very helpful as I was already a bit unfamiliar with the subject material.

I just finished watching Outlaw King, and wanted a bit more background without having to get to deep, and this book was perfect. I listened to it twice in a row.

Wow. Just wow. Nailed it. There were a lot of twists and turns and I actually sat down, stopped what I was doing and just listened at the end.

A great story with dramatic narration.

Reviewed: 10-12-18

It took me a while to get used to the dramatic narration with music and sound affects, but this isn't my first Star Wars audiobook, and they are all like this.

I also enjoyed the extra insight into the characters and different perspectives than what you can get in the movie. Which if you enjoyed, you should get the this.
