    I purchased this book for a mental health and stress education course. It was so interesting and the only “textbook” I looked forward to reading. I have recommended this book to people on more than one occasion! Each chapter has a way of describing the complexity of things as well as putting them in very simple terms to better understand. It often refers back to zebras and the safari animal prey/predator relationship hence the title. If you’re looking for an interesting and educational read that isn’t boring than this is for you. It will have you drawn in wanting to learn more as you go through the different ways that stress affects you mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally.

    Funny, detailed, so smart and insightful. I’m referring to the footnotes. Footnotes! I learned a ton from this book and I refer back to it. Make sure you get to Ch. 18 – the uplifting chapter of what to do about stress – in you life and in the lives of your yet to be born grandchildren…

    I’m halfway through this book and I love it! I bought this book after watching a 1-hour lecture on depression by Mr Sapolsky at Harvard University and I immidiately fell in love with his style. In this book, Sapolsky has done a wonderful job explaining complicated sceintific matters, experiments and medical terms in very simple and easy to comprehend manner and even managed to throw some humor in there. It’s not your typical self help book to teach you techniques on how to overcome stress. Rather it explains how your body performs under strees and is impacted (sometimes permanently) by it. I still find it really helpful in the sense that it shows you how your mental and phisical health is completely dependant on this issue and hence the importance of stress management.
