Facts and not taking short cuts

Revisado: 02-25-24

I am an automotive technician, I am in my 60s and the advise he gives his fellow doctors is the same as the advice I give those I train. Read and learn everyday. I am always learning something new. Whether it be from someone with more or less experience than me.
I also learned some of the things he was talking about the hard way. I was in excellent shape and had a heart attack at 56 years old. It was a congenital problem but the first thing the doctors did after heart surgery was to put me on a Stantin regiment even though I never had high cholesterol. After a year and several side affects I quit doing it and low and behold I felt better and my blood work was excellent according to them. So this led me to start questioning everything.
This book will help me eat better now also.
Thank you Doc.

Eye opening honesty

Revisado: 12-30-23

I am a liberal Democrat, I detest most things about Donald Trump. However I see how he got elected. The sheer ridiculousness of every one is a victim caused his election as this book made clear.
I am a retired Master Sergeant and I got over looked for further promotion due to my views. I made it clear to my troops. I do not treat everyone the same. You all have an equal opportunity to how you are treated. Ultimately you earn how you are treated. I always thought society was much the same.

The title is misleading

Revisado: 06-10-23

The book describes a lot about the existence of homosexuality but certainly does not give a definitive answer to why.
I am a gay man in his 60s. I knew I was different when I was a kid and I did everything in my power to change that. I worked hard to man up for lack of better terms. I learned to speak in a deeper voice and annunciation. I taught myself to walk different. I pretended to be interested in girls. I watched what other guys admired in women's bodies and acted like I noticed
I eventually got married had children and came out later in life after the military lifted its ban on homosexuality. I had a long military career.
This is a long story about wanting to know why.
I really didn't get that answer.
The book did give me insight Into not blaming myself and I think it was helpful in proving its not a choice.
The odd thing for me is my family is more accepting of me than I am of myself. The eraI grew up in and the long military career still make me question myself. This book helped.

Interesting

Great information on the human, mental side of sport. Easy to listen to. One of the best narrators I've heard and I listen to a lot of books.

Enlightening

Revisado: 11-24-20

Intriguing book fantastic personal stories and still scientific, but not so deep in technical jargon that an average guy like me couldn't follow. I picked up so much great information from this book

Excellent history lesson

Revisado: 12-23-19

Love the in depth character stories on Kilmeads books I have read his other books this is the first one I listened to. His narration is sort of difficult to listen to but the books are excellent. I think I will just read his from now on.

Serious history lesson

Revisado: 11-18-19

packed full of facts all U S citizens should be aware of. It hurts to hear some of the facts about our history but we should know how we got where we are.

Excellent insight

Revisado: 10-06-19

I am the parent of millennials and am a rather old full time Air Force member. which means I get to work side by side with the younger generations.
I do have to say one thing this burn out is not only in your generation. I get it also it may be regional for me as where I grew up was Pittsburgh and the year I graduated high school the steel industry collapsed and there were about 20000 jobless men and me an inexperienced 18 year old looking for work.
I worked 3 jobs most of my adult life and have had similar experiences.
Some of my worst experiences though were directly caused by someone like one of your speakers. Religion caused me great stress as I am a gay man and the religious in this country treat us like pariahs. so I had a hard time empathizing with him. Thank you for the insight.
My life is to complicated yo put in this review so just say I had a sham of a marriage and three children I raised mostly on my own just to satisfy the religous. By the way they are all straight and happy but a little burned out.
