Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer.

Story
We are capable of savage acts of violence but also spectacular feats of kindness: is one side of our nature destined to win out over the other? Every act of human behaviour has multiple layers of causation, spiralling back seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, even centuries, right back to the dawn of time and the origins of our species. In the epic sweep of history, how does our biology affect the arc of war and peace, justice and persecution? How have our brains evolved alongside our cultures?

Publisher's Summary
"I had never planned to become a savanna baboon when I grew up; instead, I had always assumed I would become a mountain gorilla," writes Robert Sapolsky in this witty and riveting chronicle of a scientist's coming-of-age in remote Africa. An exhilarating account of Sapolsky's twenty-one-year study of a troop of rambunctious baboons in Kenya, A Primate's Memoir interweaves serious scientific observations with wry commentary about the challenges and pleasures of living in the wilds of the Serengeti-for man and beast alike.
Over two decades, Sapolsky survives culinary atrocities, gunpoint encounters, and a surreal kidnapping, while witnessing the encroachment of the tourist mentality on the farthest vestiges of unspoiled Africa. As he conducts unprecedented physiological research on wild primates, he becomes ever more enamored of his subjects - unique and compelling characters in their own right - and he returns to them summer after summer, until tragedy finally prevents him. By turns hilarious and poignant, A Primate's Memoir is a magnum opus from one of our foremost science writers.

Educational, Entertaining, Emotional and Engaging
One of my most valued audible purchases, it is so much more then just a book about baboons, it really has everything I want from an audiobook. It has humor and tragedy, the storytelling is so good I like it more then most of my fiction books. I didn't just learn about biology, I learnt about history, psychology, anthropology and even how to be street smart in Africa. Most importantly for me with an audiobook: the narrator is excellent, he has just the right amount of quirkiness without being silly. I'm lazy about writing reviews and this is more then I would normally write, honestly just get it, if you don't get something out of it perhaps you don't have any humanity?

Insightful, moving, and more than a little funny
This book is the third of Robert's I have had the pleasure of reading, or listening to. His writing style is virtually indentical to his regular speaking pattern, and the manner in which he lectures (side note: go to the Stanford YouTube channel and watch his series on Human Behavioural Biology, if you're even slightly interested in the minute amount of biology he discusses in this book. You can thank me later.).
It's easy to follow, and each of the chapters appear as an almost self-contained story, with casual links back to those previous. It would be an understatement to say that Robert's work has changed my life, because, insofar as it has, I truly have loved every minute of it. He comes across as a brilliant, hilarious storyteller, and could have just as easily made a career in standup, as he has an academic. His memoir is almost like being shepherded along an old, familiar path that you've actually never been down, by an old uni friend you lost contact with as you got busy with other things, whose suddenly shown up with a majestically gruff beard.
Truly an absolute gem of a book, written by absolute gem of a man.

Humans and our Baboony Behaviour - alt book tite?
The title alone led me to think that the book will be mostly about the famous Roberts S. research into baboons, however that's just a third of the book. Through the other 2/3rds Robert describes the most unusual adventures experienced by and from a white skinned man's perspective in a developing and quite isolated culture. It sounds like Robert made an exquisite job at describing the culture clash that happens at each encounter he makes.
As he describes his quite remarkable encounters in a very colorful, accurate and yet funny manner, you are compelled to pause & reflect on the baboon troop Robert studies: we don't behave that much differently from Roberts baboony troop at all.
Make no mistake, this book is not solely about primatology and our hairy cousins, it's about Baboony Behaviour that we humans share with them.

One of the best books I've ever read.
I admit I went in biased having watched all his youtube lectures and read his other books, but this book was so satisfying as a narrative and so beautifully written, I'm having trouble recalling when I've ever enjoyed a book so much. "To Kill a Mockingbird" comes to mind as a perfect piece of literature. This book is so close, I'll probably think of it as my second all time favourite from now on. The only thing that would have made it better for me would be to have it read by Sapolsky. But the narration was good anyway.

a bit of animal behavior and bit of travel log.
It's not that Mike Chamberlain's voice is annoying, it's not bad, but he reads this book like he reads a news article. There is a lot of humor in the story that is actually missed by the reading of it. The humor and sarcasm is rolled over so that it hidden. The story itself is about a Jewish American grad student who is studying baboons in Africa. He ends up becoming part of the place and learning more about human nature than he ever imagined in the process when dealing with African bureaucracy and tribal ways. I wasn't really sure what year this book was originally written which would have really helped to understand what was going on in the country he was in where he was traveling to at the time. I wish Audible would publish the original pub dates of the books it narrates.
I might recommend reading this one instead of listening to it, but it's not a waste if you do listen to it.

A Personal Memoir of the life of a researcher
I had heard lectures by Robert Sapolsky on the internet and was expecting this to be a more in depth science discussion along with some personal experiences.
It turned out to be a memoir of his personal experiences in Africa. His experiences are of two cultures - one human and one Baboon.
At first I was a little disappointed in that there was little scientific discussion of his research. Secondly I didn't like the reader and the writing was odd to say the least. To give credit to the reader, he did the best he could with the strange writing.
None the less, the memoir is authentic and heartfelt. I would not have missed it. Well worth struggling through with the strange delivery.
The power of the message is such that it is hard to rate the book. It probably deserves better than 3 stars but I can't go higher with such strange writing. I will say that the writing is not what is typically encountered as "poor" and "amateurish". The writing is just odd, mixing references to current events, cultural phenomena, Baboon interaction described as animal behavior but lapsing often into human behavior, etc. I wonder if a younger reader (I am retired) could even follow it. The book needs one of those sidebars to explain the odd language and references.
The book gives lots to ponder and to wonder about. The book is a gift of sorts by Sapolsky to everyone else.

Sapolsky is eclectic and enthralling!
Where does A Primate's Memoir rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
As far as memoirs go, probably the best (and considering he was collecting scientific data the whole time, probably the most accurate too).
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Primate's Memoir?
Sapolsky's recollection of the story of Dian Fossey, her life, her controversy, her murder, and his fascination with her & her gorillas. He recalls a rather harrowing hike to where she researched, and her burial site in Rwanda.His stories of stalking his baboons with a blowgun loaded with sedative darts were very entertaining.
What didn’t you like about Mike Chamberlain’s performance?
He's a good narrator, and his other readings I've enjoyed, but in this book he failed to grasp Sapolsky's style of prose and humor. To anyone that has spent time listening to him lecture, Chamberlain looses a lot of depth in translation. For instance when reading some passages clearly intended to be humorous (because he's also told these jokes during class lectures at Stanford), Chamberlain reads them in a more flattened tone, failing to communicate much of Sapolsky's wit and style.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"A Tragic Baboon Epic"
Any additional comments?
Beware of beef at tourist lodges in Africa.

GUIDE TO AFRICA
Robert Sapolsky’s “A Primates Memoir” is a masochist’s guide to Africa. It is what you expect from a biological anthropologist who sojourns to Africa in the late 1970s. Sapolsky lives in a tent while studying baboons. At the age of 12, Sapolsky appears to know what he wants from life. In his middle-school years, he begins studying Swahili, the primary language of Southeast Africa. He wants an understanding of life.
Sapolsky’s Ph. D. thesis, written in 1984, is “The neuroendocrinology of stress and aging”. Presumably, his trip to Africa became the basis for his academic thesis. Sapolsky’s experience in Africa is recounted in “A Primate’s Memoir”.
The overlay of Sapolsky’s memoir is the reported evolution of a baboon family in Southeast Africa. He shows that baboon families, like all families, are born, mature, and die within a framework of psychological and physical challenges imbued by culture. All lives face challenge but culture can ameliorate or magnify the intensity and consequence of the challenge.
Sapolsky gives the example of Kenyan “crazy” people who are hospitalized, treated, and fed to deal with their mental imbalance. In America, it seems “crazy” people are left to the street. The inference is that Kenyan “crazy” people live a less stressful life than American “crazy” people. This is a positive view of Kenyan culture but there are ample negative views in Sapolsky’s memoir. Rampant poverty, malnutrition, bureaucratic corruption, and abysmal medical treatment are Sapolsky’s recollected examples.
Sapolsky’s memoir shows he clearly lives an unconventional life, but it seems a life of purpose. What more is there?

Hilarious, informative, touching
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes and I already did. Although the book is supposedly about baboons, it makes one question a number of philosophical questions like evil and good, free will, meaning/meaninglessness of life. It also raises issues about world politics...
What did you like best about this story?
The narration and characterization of the baboons is so powerful. At the end of the book, I wanted to desert humans and start a new life with the baboons.
Which character – as performed by Mike Chamberlain – was your favorite?
Benjamin... He is a hero...
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh and cry

Primatologist meets baboons and Africa and life
Robert Sapolsky is well known among people who follow (try to follow) primatology and evolutionary biology, including human evolutionary biology. A Primate's Memoir alternates (sort of) chapters of Sapolsky's observations of a specific baboon troop over many years with stories of his personal adventures traveling in Africa more or less as Africans travel. Those chapters made me eager to get back to the baboons. Because visitors from American tended to have with them such items as antibiotic ointment and other basic first-aid supplies, nearby villagers brought their sick children to him, and he gradually became somewhat assimilated into the village. Like me, Sapolsky is proud and happy to identify as a primate and to explore the question of what does it mean to be a talking ape.

A life changing book which may be uncomfortable
The hard copy of this is one of my desert island books. If you read it, human behaviour will never seem inexplicable again.
So, I had to listen to the audiobook. The content was just as impressive as the hard copy, but a rather different experience. To begin with I was not sure about the narration. The narrator used a distinctive American accent which, not being American, I could not identify. I have listened to talks online by Sapolsky and am not sure the accent is the same as his. Anyway, after a while, I got used to it. I think there were a few false emphases but nothing to worry about.
The style of delivery was unemotional but appropriate to the whole thrust of the book - while acknowledging human emotion and culture, including Sapolsky's own, it distances them by means of the scientific method, and describes baboon behaviour in the same way.
It is impossible not to be moved by parts of this book, especially the tragic final section.
