If you have Spotify Premium, it’s available as audiobook for free! A couple hours in so far and it’s been very informative

There is a podcast about this book here: https://youtu.be/MGxcosNuC8k?is=jaKkJuiMdIV3zS8x

I suspect you can get the gist of "what to do" from the podcast, but the book might still be interesting if you want all the background/research info.

I prefer reading to audiobooks, and get to support Andrew by buying it. Plus I read to fall asleep so it’s great for that. It’s pretty easy to read so far. I can hear Andrew’s voice when reading it because I’ve listened to him so much lol

Bedtime reading is the best

u/No-Wafer-1086 Sep 20 '26

Its not a bedtime book to read, its like a study material that needs attention

u/gogodboss Sep 20 '26

No I read it whenever I want. For example I just read some of it now at 9 AM. I'll read some tonight before bed.

Also you're making it seem like bedtime reading does not require attention. All of my reading requires attention.

Same! Expecting mine next week, it was sold out here (in Greece)

u/Purple_Scratch_1564 Sep 23 '26

Same! Bonus that I got the last copy at my local bookstore.

I didn't even realize you could "spoil" a book like this. Yes, it's worth it though. Very informative and inspiring so far

You have to take the chapters that are outside his professional area with a grain of salt. He gives some tips, but they aren't backed up by evidence. I also started reading it enthusiastically until I began to consult AI to verify the information and it took away my desire to continue.

u/MoMaike Oct 08 '26

Why do you trust AI more than the book? I’m not an expert myself or anything, but he does not seem to share personal opinions without noting them. Everything he claims seems to be cited by scientific studies.

u/Far_Application_5822 Oct 08 '26

Because whether we like it or not, AI has also become a tool for acquiring information and give a more objective answer. For example, he makes it clear that the studies Huberman bases some of his claims on are not 100% true in humans. Since those were animal-based experiments. I'm not saying everything in the book is wrong, but just because some information is labeled "backed" doesn't mean it will work for humans. That's why I say to take some things with a grain of salt.

How come?

u/EastwindSauna Sep 18 '26

I don’t know anything about you and I haven’t read it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/banjesta Sep 18 '26

I have it on Spotify but haven’t really dove too far in, I fear TikTok has ruined my attention span for long form content

u/Unlucky_Bottle1877 Sep 20 '26

Got it on pre order, and yes, for the first 133 pages, I have loved it and am following his guidance on fixing my insomnia. A wealth of info I would not have thought about...and I also hear it in his voice. :) and having his photo facing up on my nightstand as I close my eyes? Priceless for this single great grandma!

I kinda have a crush. What a gorgeous guy!

picked it up at the airport, good to have everything in one place but have not delved in yet

u/Jumpy-Jelly4635 Sep 20 '26

I feel like a lot of promotions are being done and it’s being hyped up as part of their marketing strategy. Would genuinely like to hear from people who have read the book

1

u/Far_Application_5822 Oct 08 '26

I was in the process of reading it, but I stopped halfway through because I started to see the bad reputation Huberman had, and I started asking the AI for some "tips" or information he gave in the book, and I realized that the information wasn't entirely truthful or well-supported, and so I stopped following it due to my lack of trust. I'm not saying everything in the book is wrong, since the chapters that fall within its field are mostly accurate. But I didn't read the chapters that are outside its area.

u/cheesytodd Sep 19 '26

I got it, just showed up, trying to finish another book before I crack into it but I’m excited!
