The book has good ideas (really only one) but it's delivered in a very glib manner with sporadic "leadership" examples from George W Bush.
I share this with some of our executives at our company and they had a positive review of it as well. The information is great for busy people and executive type. I follow a good diet (translation: eating plan) and eat healthy foods, organics, etc. but I was always missing the exercise part of life. I started my program 3 days after listening to the book. I'm going to buy the book in print form now too as it has made a positive change in my life. Energy does come from exercise, sleep improves, you feel more confident...all of the things the book mentions. I thought I was doing fine with the food part, but adding exercise as described has made a world of difference. This is a great motivator with facts and easy things one can do to get started and continue the journey toward health and fitness in a busy lifestyle. 3 of 5 for a ranking because I think the print book would have been better to read in this case.
Nice perspective for focusing on good health, positive attitude, and career development.
We may not like to hear this, but the book is ABSOLUTELY on the money. I found this book to be good, but not very memorable. This may be due to the fact that I don't exercise much and don't have any motivation to do so...or do I? Actually, in recalling the audiobook, it may not have been very memorable, but I do remember the "common sense" knowledge that says exercise and keeping fit are crucial in being successfull...especially in today's society. To that note, I have started taking a closer look at my lifestyle, and begun taking steps to become more physically fit. As I give this book 3 stars (mainly due to the book not being able to keep 100% of my attention), I find that it is an important book to read or listen too on a regular basis in order to grab hold of the many keys that it has to offer.
