Summary

A fascinating, science-based study that goes far beyond the Paleo diet to show that our bodies have not evolved to fit our modern lifestyle, with practical advice on how to regain our well-being.

Go Wild Summary

Go Wild: Free Your Body and Mind from the Afflictions of Civilization by Dr. John J. Ratey

The scientific evidence behind why we should maintain a lifestyle more like that of our ancestors to restore our health and well-being.

In GO WILD, Harvard Medical School professor John Ratey, MD, and journalist Richard Manning reveal that although civilization has rapidly evolved, our bodies stopped changing long ago--creating a disconnect between how we live and what is best for us. This disconnect affects every area of our lives, from our energy levels to our relationships to our general health. Only by using ancient evolutionary instructions to navigate modern life can we realize our true potential in everything including strength, health and well-being, intelligence, happiness, and more. The book addresses modern diseases (from diabetes to cancer to addiction); the problems of the modern diet; exercise; sleep; mindfulness and relationships; and much more.

Go Wild Reviews

"A brilliantly creative synthesis of research and theory offering up a practical, playful, yet profound answer to that most basic question: how to live."--Edward Hallowell, MD, author of Shine: Using Brain Science to Bring Out the Best in Your People


"A clear, sustained, fast-paced, utterly persuasive argument that much of our current distress and disease is the product of how the activities of regimented modern life estrange us from our biological needs, literally making us ill. Filled with fascinating details, and the palpable joy of the authors who have found a way to break free from these restrictions, it's also inspiring and will influence many to change the way they live for the better."--Norman Doidge, MD, author of The Brain That Changes Itself
"An exciting read! A fascinating investigation into the power of evolutionary forces in our lives. Illuminating, penetrating, and immensely practical."--Jim Loehr, cofounder of Human Performance Institute and coauthor of The Power of Full Engagement
"Essential reading for anyone interested in unleashing the true power of human nature."

--Tyler Graham, author of The Happiness Diet


"The mission accomplished by this wonderfully empowering book is nothing short of revolutionary."--from the foreword by David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain
