Every day of your life is spent surrounded by mysteries that involve what appear to be rather ordinary human behaviors. What makes you happy? Where did your personality come from? Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do.

Do you ever wish you could just get rid of all of your problems? Research shows that we grow into our best and most joyful selves not when we avoid our problems but when we embrace them, confident that we are resilient enough to work through them to an appropriate resolution. Resilience is our ability to physically, emotionally, and mentally bounce back from adverse circumstances. In fact, our capacity to thrive in life depends directly our resilience.

Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

Some useful info but too long and too US specific
This was frustrating as had to wade through a lot of irrelevant and excessively detailed info to get the essential message. Also, it related to healthcare in the US. All this series of lectures are US based and some will travel better than others. This guy's voice was pretty grating to my ear too. Having said that, it has made me more determined to focus on better diet and more exercise.

Felt like I was an awful lot older by the end
I'm not sure if this is a 3 or a 4 to be honest. The performance was a bit dull to listen to for so many hours with little to no humour or anything more engaging. I thought the information was on the whole pretty obvious and felt a bit laboured.
Main points seemed to be:
1. Exercise
2. Eat wholefoods and a varied diet. Organic preferably (and the Mediterranean diet)
3. Avoid saturated fats
4. Try and avoid stress
5. Try mindfulness
6. Pack in smoking (and probably drinking)
7. Keep your connections with people (though he's not sure why)
There was more to it than that, but that was the main thrust of it all.
It wasn't very Americanised I didn't think with only a couple of chapters discussing American specific things and they didn't really mess up the message.
Exercise he recommended seemed very personalise and I was very surprised that he advised martial arts (which he used to do) and I'm not sure that's what the older people out there would think of that.
I thought some of the dietary information was a little out of date and I felt that a lot of it was lacking older evidence. Some of the things that he advised (e.g. turmeric is only useful against inflammation in huge doses) were not correct or had limited information to support them.
It was okay and has made me get back into exercise and switch to cholesterol lowering fats, but very little else. Keeping active seems to be the main thing that he advises over all else.

What did you love best about Lifelong Health: Achieving Optimum Well-Being at Any Age?
Health, Diet, and Exercise advice is out there in abundance. Knowing what is believable or not is always tough. Dr. Goodman's lecture was clear, to the point, and makes perfect sense.
What did you like best about this story?
Very comprehensive and practical.
What about Dr. Anthony A. Goodman’s performance did you like?
Easy to listen to, it's a long lecture, but never got old.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
"Eat mostly plants, and not too much" is a great quote he used in the lecture.
Any additional comments?
If you step back from this subject in general, it's all about common sense and moderation. Eat wholesome, exercise more, get plenty of rest. But the how's and why's are clearly presented with common sense approach to achieving all of this. Everything from prostate exam options to menopause and children's health or allergies. Loved it!

Evidence based life sciences at its best.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. Dr.Goodman is definitely a great teacher in medicine who can simplify very complex and confusing scientific evidences into concise, simplified yet practical to the listener. It is a "Must read or listen" for everyone who cares to live a good life. It will shed light for those who has been getting lost spending their whole life trying to find a magic bullet from outside only to find that it can simply be done from our inside. Great not only for layman, but also for medical students.
What other book might you compare Lifelong Health: Achieving Optimum Well-Being at Any Age to and why?
None
What does Dr. Anthony A. Goodman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His story telling style and tone of voice of the master (knowledgeble and experienced surgeon) made the listener feel as if this is a face to face dialogue with him.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Great Overview on Healthy Living
This is a basic primer course on heathy living--it's quite extensive but never digs too deeply into a single subject. And the course continuously reinforces some very basic concepts for healthy living. Because of this, most health professionals are probably familiar with much of this lecture already. I am, however, not a health professional so I walked away with a ton of useful stuff from this course!
Not all the subjects interested me but the narration was well done and kept me engaged. The author brings a sense of discovery and curiosity, which makes even the chapters that might not apply to me (I'm a younger male), engaging.
I was searching for a health resource that wasn't specialized, and one that I could apply to my life right away. And this was an excellent choice! It's not a get-fit-quick book; it's a treasure trove of wisdom in ways we can make one degree changes in our lives that will allow us to get more from each day. "It's not the destination--it's the journey", Goodman writes; this audio book certainly is helping out on my own. Recommended.

For the common man, not the health professional
This audio course is quite basic: I can't really penalize it for that. I'm sure for a lay reader, they will learn a lot (I'm a health professional). This course may save lives and years of life to those who are not very familiar with health topics. For the advanced (health / biology / medical majors / professionals) this will be too basic to the point where you don't feel you've learned anything new or gained any value. The teacher (passionate surgeon) is not monotonous so it wasn't a bore to listen to - though I typically listen to audiobooks with a 1.25x to 1.50x speed magnification to save time and also to not get bored...

The science of health for the rest of us
Dr. Goodman does a very good job of tying actionable health advice to the basic science that supports it. It's helpful to know not only that something is good for you, or not good for you, but also why that is true. For me, the why adds a lot to my ability to follow through. Additionally, Dr. Goodman doesn't come at this program with 60 things you should change tomorrow. Instead, he consistently recommends small course changes that in years can take you to a whole different (and more healthy) destination.
I found the lecture itself to go a bit slowly, so I listened to most of it at 1.25 and 1.5 speed. Other than that, it was easy to listen to, and even the topics that don't affect me (like smoking or steroid use) were interesting from an academic perspective. There is nothing earth shattering here, but that is more actionable anyhow. If you are looking for good advice and some shallow digging into health science, this is a good lecture.

Terrific overarching book on general health topics
This is a great listen for a book on general heath topics ranging from exercising, to doctor visits, to supplements, to organic whole foods. Surprisingly, this was written by a traditional western medical doctor but who does a nice job of separating fact from fiction but incorporating the latest thoughts from all parts of the world, but eastern and western thought. I really felt like he did a good job of trying to keep his own opinion to a comfortable minimum and instead focus on what science has shown. I can pretty much summarize his recurring theme . . . if you want to live long and healthy, exercise regularly and eat most whole organic fruits vegetables, fruits, and nuts, and fish and stay away from supplements, processed foods, etc. and go easy on the meats. I give this book 2 thumbs up. Very balanced and touches on just about everything that is relevant.

Facts without too much heresay
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
He discusses what the research says... what he think is secondary
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, even at 1.5x this is a monster book/course at 36 hours... Has taken me a month of intermittent listening
Any additional comments?
I love his ability to quote real studies... whilst I have not looked into all of them, I have read up about a couple and his take away matched my own.

Any additional comments?
Dr. Goodman references the bibliography and a list of resources many times in the book, yet Audible/Great Courses doesn't see fit to provide audible listeners these documents. It's a shame, I would have purchased many more of them if they had.

Yes, I would. It is like a manual with enough information on how to take care of your body and live a long life.
Who was your favorite character and why?
There are no characters, it's a non-fiction audio book.
Have you listened to any of Dr. Anthony A. Goodman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I haven't, but would love to do so!
What did you learn from Lifelong Health: Achieving Optimum Well-Being at Any Age that you would use in your daily life?
Audible's website.
Any additional comments?
This course is definitely worth listening to. It is informative, and yet not overloaded with facts and statistics. It is, in my opinion, the perfect mix of science, curious facts and stories about Dr. Goodman's life and career.
