Why people recommend it
Exercised by Daniel Lieberman is a science-based book that investigates the evolutionary history of human physical activity and debunks common modern myths about exercise and health. On an episode of The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett released on July 10, 2023, host Steven Bartlett recommended the book to all listeners during his interview with the author. Bartlett stated that reading the work fundamentally shifted his understanding of fitness, providing a fascinating window into the lives of hunter-gatherer ancestors, indigenous tribes, and diverse global cultures. He specifically praised the book's exploration of mismatch life, illuminating how modern lifestyles diverge from evolutionary biology. Later in the discussion, Daniel Lieberman referenced another notable book, Born to Run, while elaborating on the remarkable running traditions and athletic endurance of the Tarahumara tribe. Through these insights, Bartlett and Lieberman emphasized how examining ancestral habits can radically reframe contemporary approaches to physical health, dietary habits, daily movement, and overall physical well-being.
