Dr. Andrew Huberman Book Recommendations

I’m excited to share some big news.

I've been working on a book for quite some time — more than five years, in fact — though it's really based on more than three decades of research and experience. Today, I am thrilled to share that my new and first-ever book, Protocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body, is now available for pre-order.

I hear from you daily about your desire for the tools and protocols covered on Huberman Lab and elsewhere to be organized and distilled all in one place, in a clear and concise manner. This book is the culmination of years of research, hundreds of conversations with leading scientists, medical doctors, and researchers, and my own exploration of health and fitness.

My aim with Protocols is to provide you with simple, powerful, and evidence-based solutions to your most common health challenges and to reach your goals. Designed to improve your mental health, physical health, and performance, these guidelines are customizable, allowing you to adapt them to your specific needs and to deliver effective results for men and women, young and old. It is truly meant for anyone interested in achieving better health and vitality.

I’m super excited to share Protocols with you. Thank you for your support and thank you for your interest in science!

Don’t be a mouth breather. Your immune system (and facial structure, sinuses & teeth) will thank you.

Read Jaws by my @Stanford colleagues Sandra Kahn and Paul Erhlich (with forward & Intro by Jared Diamond & Robert Sapolsky) for more details.

And of course James Nestor‘s fabulous book “Breath”

Yes! Can’t wait to listen to this! Finding Ultra (Rich’s book) is a favorite of mine and Rich is a world class human being.

Amazing book.

in the book, The 4 Hour Body. Time to reread 4HB and tabulate the prescient statements. Journal Club anyone?

It’s a great book with an excellent simple recipe for sauerkraut. Thank you @tferriss!

If interested in the science underlying aggression, sex behavior, passivity and other states & emotions, this new book from Prof. David Anderson @Caltech is superb: clear, modern, accessible, & rooted in data. (P.S. His lab is among the top 1% in our field HHMI investigator etc.)

P.S. I have no business affiliation to the book, but am delighted that the best of the best in our field are taking the time to communicate to the public, educate and share their knowledge. This book is a winner.

For the science of play and how to implement play: (also see Play It Away the book by @charliehoehn which is fantastic.

Many people ask for book suggestions. The Prince of Medicine is a deep, highly detailed dive into the origins of Medicine, focused mostly on Galen.

It’s not a protocol book (!) but if you’re interested in how we arrived at Modern Medicine, it reveals that.

I love this book.

If you have not read Hope for Cynics by @zakijam of @Stanford I highly recommend you do. It’s a fascinating read, grounded in strong data & practical. One of the best mindset shifting books ever.

The latest Huberman Lab episode is with legendary producer and author of the book “The Creative Act: A Way of Being,”
@RickRubin
.

The episode focuses on the practical aspects of creativity, including questions and answers from the audience of Rick’s previous Huberman Lab appearance.

It’s a conversation that I believe everyone — musician, artist, scientist, teacher, parent, etc. can benefit from because it’s less focused on a particular craft than it is on the mindsets and daily routines that direct our minds toward our greatest levels of unique creativity and personal expression.

Indeed, I love all these books and Longitude by @DavaSobel is another I highly recommend. Also An Immense World by @edyong209 will have you “wow”-ing.

Delighted to have hosted @CaseyMeansMD for an upcoming HLP episode on metabolic health. She shares the highest impact science & practical tools for physical health. Her new book Good Energy is a superb must-read. It’s easily in my top 3 actionable for-everyone health books.

Amazing and important book.
