About the author
Ben Greenfield
56 books254 followersBen Greenfield spent most of his childhood years with his nose in a book. President of the chess club, violin player, and a complete nerd in school, he especially loved writing fantasy fiction.
After graduating high school at fifteen and university at the age of twenty, Ben’s life took a turn as he delved into another passion: fitness. He was soon named as America’s top personal trainer, one of the world’s top 100 most influential people in health and fitness, and also penned the New York Times bestseller Beyond Training, along with 13 other books.
After years of success in the health and fitness industry, Ben has returned to his love of fantasy. The Forest, the first in his new fantasy series, takes its inspiration from Ben’s own twin sons, combined with his deep knowledge of survival, wilderness, adventure, intrigue, health, suspense and a true hero’s journey.
Ben resides in Spokane, Washington with his wife, Jessa, and twin boys, River and Terran, where he can be found caring for his goats, chickens and organic vegetable garden, playing the ukulele and penning his next fantasy tale.

Two years ago, I started reading Boundless Parenting shortly after hearing the heartbeat of what I now think of as my first son.
But we lost him in the seventh month due to a random cord incident. For a while, I said, "We lost the pregnancy," instead of, "I lost a child" -- maybe because I never saw his face. I stopped reading it, but nearly nine months ago, I picked it back up again, after discovering we had another one on the way. Becoming a new father is a page flip without equal to a new chapter of life, and I have a lot to learn, so finishing a thousand-page book on the topic seems smart!
Boundless Parenting gets four stars from me. I think Ben may have read my criticisms of his Biohacking magnum opus, Boundless, because this one doesn't begin so braggadociously nor contain product pitches on nearly every page. Bravo, Ben!
Why doesn't it get five stars from me?
It seems more aimed at parents in the midst of their parenting journey, not at the beginning of it, like us. I was hoping for "Ben's Top 10 Biohacks for Brand New Babies" and did not get it. In fact, I expected that a Ben Greenfield book would really bring the goods in the Biohacking department, and this one was a bit light on the topic, frankly. I'm still looking for a comprehensive guide to optimizing my wife's (wife-hacking?) bountiful boobies for maximum milk production!

As a new parent, this book was really helpful and gave me a lot to think about. I listened to this on audible and I liked that a lot of the chapters were read by the people that were interviewed. I can see myself coming back to this book again in the future!

Excellent book with many perspectives. I had the hardcover and ending up consuming most of the book on audible. I have four kids (one is now an adult) and it gave me new things to implement. This will be a gift I will buy for all new parents in my circle.
