The Awakened Ape: A Biohacker's Guide to Evolutionary Fitness, Natural Ecstasy, and Stress-Free Living

A very generous 2* at that. A lot of this is trash in both style and content, made worse by the sense that the author knows better - at least for the content parts. Fast an loose with science, reason, argumentation, anthropology, and evidence, despite knowing better.

Some of the writing, especially the stories of his sexual conquests, is repulsive, condescending, and gross. I feel it is not a book women will enjoy. I could see male teenage virgins enjoying it though, and I actually think much of the content would benefit that demographic too.

On a good note there is wisdom and knowledge here, it is just better found elsewhere. Almost anywhere elsewhere. A quick synopsis would be live a 'paleo lifestyle' (get back to nature, eat right, exercise, build meaningful realtionships) and meditate a lot.

Solid advice, poorly communicated!
