Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
Recommended by Vinod Khosla, Rhonda Patrick, Keith Rabois and 22 others
The book reads like an engaging, urgent lecture from a sleep evangelist, blending accessible science with alarming anecdotes. Its strength is the deep dive into how sleep shapes memory, health, and creativity, making a strong case for its non-negotiable importance. The downside: tone can become preachy and overdrawn, with some claims feeling overstated, leaving you either inspired to protect your slumber or weary of the relentless doom-mongering.

The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance (2nd Edition)
Recommended by Geoffrey Miller
Becoming a Supple Leopard reads like a detailed movement manual: lots of step-by-step drills, troubleshooting cues, and photo sequences aimed at mobility and self-maintenance. Its useful part is practical specificity — clear tutorials for joint positioning, breathing, and mobility work that athletes and coaches can put into practice. Its main limitation is tone and density: frequent technical jargon and repetitious instruction make some stretches of the book feel exhaustive or preachy rather than breezy.
