Биохакинг: Руководство по раскрытию потенциала организма

by Olli Sovijärvi, Олли Совиярви, Теэму Арина

Биохакеры считают, что укреплять здоровье дешевле и выгоднее, чем лечить болезнь. Организм человека состоит из множества разных систем. И биохакинг позволяет понять, как эти системы работают. Авторы — практикующий врач Олли Совиярви, специалист по цифровизации Теэму Арина и эксперт по питанию Яакко Халметоя — доступно рассказывают об одной из самых перспективных и спорных тем нашего века. Теория, изложенная на базе наработок авторов и анализа результатов исследований, подкреплена множеством простых практических рекомендаций.

Reviews

It feels weird rating this one. It wasn't really a book, as in -- it wasn't a story at all. It was all pure information. That was to be expected, as it's more of a reference guide rather than anything else. I can't quite rate it if I haven't used it as a reference yet, you know?
However, I have other things to say:
1. While some of it was certainly helpful, the level of background detail about the human body was not really motivated by anything.
2. On the other hand, the later chapters were a bit too surface-level. The sleep chapter was the happy medium, I wish the other ones were more like it.
3. Too little actionable advice? I hesitate to throw in this one, because "upgrading yourself" is not an area where you can get definitive answers that apply to everybody. You kind of have to experiment and see what works. However, the endless cataloguing does get tiresome when you don't see how to apply the strategies to your life.

Good Book as a reference about Mind, Body, Nutrition and metabolism in general. It's useful to have as a guide when you have doubts about a specific topic or if you prefer to deep in some topic about hormomes, suplements, etc

In spanish I prefer "Salud Salvaje" from Marcos Vazquez

[Oleksandr Avdieiev]

З одного боку багато психоедукації і корисних речей, з іншого багато викривлених інтерпретацій досліджень з дуже сумнівними речами.
Я скоріше би не радив. Ті хто не в темі мають небезпеку нарозитися на псевдонаукові, а часто шкідливі поради (типу не пийте антидепресанти, а краще медитуйте, не прям так, але суть +/- така). А ті хто в темі, то нашо вам ця книга?))

[Sebastian Langan]

This book is essentially a gigantic encyclopedia filled with tips on how to biologically optimize yourself for performance, health, and happiness. The number of little tidbits on things like nutrition and sleep is astounding. Sometimes reading this book felt like a chore, as the amount of detail was excessive for my level of interest. But hey, this book seems to be targeted towards bio-hacking enthusiasts and I'm sure some people are interested in the n-th nutrient that will increase oxygen uptake in the amygdala by four percent.

Jokes aside, I do think there was a solid amount to be learned from this book. Does it need to be four hundred and whatever pages long? No.

There were a lot of nice graphics to illustrate different concepts though.

Książka, w której znajdziemy naprawdę dużo biologii (nie jestem wielkim fanem) i sporo odwołań do artykułów naukowych. Trochę się zawiodłem jej praktycznością - większość treści to teoria. Rad praktycznych może wydawać się być sporo, ale są one mocno rozdrobnione i w mojej opinii nie składają się na jeden zgrabny system działania - co mnie osobiście nie przekonało i odrzuciło. Książka jest też nierówna - rozdział o ćwiczeniach jest niezły, w porównaniu do tego o żywieniu, który był mocno teoretyczny, a przepisów było tam jak na lekarstwo, w porównaniu z innymi (o ironio!). Niezłe wydanie papierowe - masywne, z dobrym papierem i przepięknymi rysunkami. Ale też mam wrażenie, że nie sprzyjało ono tekstowi i można byłoby książkę całościowo odchudzić. Treść często skimmowałem, bo teoria męczyła mnie aż za bardzo, ogólnie książka mnie mocno rozczarowała.

En lukenut tätä henkilökohtaisesta mielenkiinnosta vaan yhden oman romaani-ideani takia (tai no kai se on jonkinlaista mielenkiintoa silloin). Skeptikko minussa yllättyi, kun löysin tästä oikeasti hyviä vinkkejä uneen. Olen myös ollut ihan piikkimatto ftw -jengissä tämän lukemisen jälkeen. Ihan selkeästi biohakkeri siis itsekin..

[Mintti]

Tämä järkäle oli oikein mainio tietopaketti omasta terveydestään kiinnostuneelle ihmiselle. Mulla kesti monta kuukautta kahlata tämä läpi, kun asiaa oli niin paljon ja kirja oli aika hankalan iso. Tämä on silti sellainen jonka voisi kuvitella jopa omistavansa kun oli niin täynnä hyvää tietoa miten meidän kehot, aivot, ja muut systeemit toimii ja kuinka niitä voi parhaiten ylläpitää.

[Kaspars Koo]

I read just the first preview chapter which was free. Really enjoyed it - concise, valuable and actionable.

[Sevim]

Biohacker’s Handbook is an essential guidebook on how to biologically optimize the human body and mind for best health, peak performance, and overall well-being. It is also a detailed manual for ideal nutrition, exercise, sleeping habits, and the human genes.

Well-organized with beautiful infographics, the book utilizes science, technology, and a deep understanding of the human body, physiology, and nutrition.

[Lucas]

The entrepreneur Serge Faguet recommended the section on sleep in one of his famous articles on biohacking. Accessible to everyone, it's well organized, lots of infographics, actionable, goes straight to the point. I'll keep it as a biohacking cheat-sheet.

[Anastasia]

This is an amazing book!
Anything you need to know to optimize your health (sleep, nutrition etc) is put in one book. Starting from what plants you can put in your bedroom and what mouse to get so your wrist wouldn’t hurt etc. I think every household needs this book!

[Live Forever or Die Trying]

Similarly to Boundless, completed a read through but requires consistent referencing as needed.

[Jonas Svarholt]

The Bible of Health and Health-Tech.

[Stephan Krijger]

Very thorough book with a lot of science-backed tips.

Sometimes it felt like information overload where I could not define what was important to me and what I could take away from it.

[Benas]

Useful, beautifully planned and well designed. And I found only one typo :))))

[Markus Lustig]

Tämä kirja on pakko lukea useampaan kertaan että saa kaiken mahdollisen irti. Toinen vaihtoehto olisi selata kirjaa edes takaisin ja kerrata se mitä asiasta sanotaan toisissa luvuissa. Kirja on hyvin monipuolinen ja looginen kokonaisuus, asioita käsitellään tieteellisesti tutkituin tiedoin ja myös kritiikkiä esitetään mikäli tarvetta ilmenee. Lukemisen arvoinen, vaikka ihan puhtaasta mielenkiinnosta.

[Pauliina]

Uskomattoman kattava opas suorituskyvyn, hyvinvoinnin ja terveyden optimointiin. Suurin osa vinkeistä oli niin syvällisiä, ettei niitä tule ikinä otettua osaksi omaa elämää, mutta on kiehtovaa tietää eri mahdollisuuksista. Kirjaan kuitenkin mahtui myös arkipäiväisiä vinkkejä hyvistä ruoka-aineista, unesta, työstä, mielestä ja liikunnasta.

Lue Biohakkerin käsikirja muistiinpanovälineiden kera ja keskity itseäsi kiinnostaviin aihealueisiin ohittaen muut.

[Sergei BorodaRuda]

Довольно уникальная книга. Не часто такое встретишь.
Максимально наполнена отрывками из научных исследований, которые практически невозможно применить на практике.
В подавляющем большинстве рекомендации написаны максимально сложным научным языком. Какие-либо рецепты состоят из ингредиентов, которые просто физически вряд ли возможно достать.
В общем, книга написана безумно сложным языком, наполненная невозможными к практическому использованию рецептами.

[Pirkko]

Järeä tiiliskivi, mutta hyvin mielenkiintoinen. Menee varmaankin hankintalistalle, tämä yksilö oli kirjastosta. Ainoa miinus kirjalle on, että se tosiaankin on järjettömän iso ja painava eli hankala lukea, mutta ehkäpä se ei olekaan tarkoitettu luettavaksi kerralla kannesta kanteen, vaan käsikirjana lähdeteos, josta tarkistellaan aina vain haluttu osa kerrallaan.

[Aapeli Helkkula]

Hyvä käsikirja ihmisen kehon ja mielen kokonaisvaltaiseen ymmärtämiseen. Ei paljoa itse tosielämän esimerkkejä ”hackeistä”, vaan aika pintapuolinen raapaisu itse metodeihin.

[Ivan]

Довольно поверхностно и в некоторых моментах сомнительно достоверно. Компиляция информации из разрозненных источников без попытки систематизации

[Arzu Isakova]

Kitab maraqlıdır, lakin dili çox çətindir. Tibb sahəsinin işçiləri oxusa, daha yaxşı olar.
