SYSK Choice: The New Science of Human Metabolism & The Real Reasons Wars Exist

If you are into stories of success and what it takes to be the best, you will sometimes here someone quote a study about the importance of goal setting. The study happened at Yale University in 1953.

He is one of the foremost researchers in the area of human metabolism and author of the book Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy (https://amzn.to/3cdjiOQ). Herman joins me to explain how body weight works and why some people really are naturally thin while others seem destined to struggle with weight. He also explains why the role of exercise is often misunderstood when it comes to losing weight.  Certainly, on the surface, it seems that war is totally cruel and senseless.

Listen and I will tell you what they are. Source: Daniel Coyle author of The Talent Code (https://amzn.to/3smZBd6) PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
