In 1996, Allan Weisbecker sold his home and his possessions, loaded his dog and surfboards into his truck, and set off in search of his longtime friend and surfing companion, Christopher, who had vanished into the depths of Central America. In this rollicking memoir of his quest from Mexico to Costa Rica to unravel the circumstances of Christopher's disappearance, Weisbecker intimately describes the people he befriended, the bandits he evaded, and the waves he caught and lost en route to finding his friend.

In this age of billion dollar athletic marketing campaigns, “feel good” philosophy with no connection to reality, and a Sports Media echo chamber that’s all too eager swallow whatever idiotic notion happens to be in vogue at the moment, it’s tough to find people who aren’t afraid to say what they’re really thinking.

Great book, Repeats majority of themes from radio
Revisado: 01-20-14
Would you listen to You Herd Me! again? Why?
No, great book but no need to listen again.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Colin Cowherd
Which scene was your favorite?
N/A
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
N/A
Any additional comments?
I listen to Colin Cowherd's podcast religiously and have gained a ton of insight on life and sports from his perspective. I think he is the most thought provoking personality on radio and made me reanalyze many aspects of my personal and business life. The book is essentially a condensed version of all the themes of his radio show so I would recommend it to anyone who is interesting in American sports or bettering themselves.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 30
When polio paralyzed Franklin Roosevelt at the age of thirty-nine, people wept to think that the young man of golden promise must live out his days as a helpless invalid. He never again walked on his own. But in just over a decade, he regained his strength and seized the presidency. This was the most remarkable comeback in the history of American politics. And, as author James Tobin shows, it was the pivot of Roosevelt's life-the triumphant struggle that tempered and revealed his true character.

Not worth $10 or 3 hours of your time
Revisado: 01-20-14
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If the book provided health and scientific insight that a layperson wouldn't already be able to figure out themselves, i.e. tell me something more than just not to smoke, drink in moderation, eat fruits and vegetables and get plenty of sleep.
What do you think your next listen will be?
An economic nonfiction book
How could the performance have been better?
Not take 21 minutes of the 3 hours introducing the book, provide more detailed health insight that someone doesn't already know and minimize the number of repetitions. I am a general contractor and I feel like I already have the knowledge to write this book and I could have done it in about 12 pages.
What character would you cut from A Short Guide to a Long Life?
N/A
Any additional comments?
If you are really looking for real insight into healthy living and optimum longevity I HIGHLY recommend Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live. It provides TONS of information that is backed up by scientific research. A word of caution though- it may take the joy out of many of the things that you thought were healthy but are actually killing you.
