If you want to believe you can’t reach your goal weight, this will support you. If you want to lose weight, this will corrupt your hope. Not for me.

I didn’t want it to end!

Revisado: 06-24-24

If you are interested in spirituality, meditation, surviving and getting started as a broke 20-year-old, surviving corporate America, living an interesting life … this was such a fascinating, multifaceted story. I’m feeling inspired and I will definitely be listening to this one again. Thank you, Michael singer for writing it!

Wisdom, humility and grace

Revisado: 05-24-24

I’m at a loss for words to adequately express my gratitude that Jane wrote this book, and that it occurred to me to listen to it. Listening to her voice, as she shares her life story and the experiences that shape who she is … I need women in my life like her. Her heart and head are clearly connected and in communication. I’m sure I’ll listen to this one, again, many times. This book would be a great gift for anyone … and especially if they happen to be going through a tough life transition and could use some hope and wisdom to get through. Thank you.

Ego. Yuck.

Revisado: 12-22-23

I lasted through a very long hour of the Audible version. The content isn’t doing it for me. It feels self important. The audiobook reader is painfully and overly articulate and slow. I tried 2x speed for a bit, which helped, but the content still didn’t come through for me. I’m giving up with 11 hours left.

Ironically, I’m at a loss for words.

Outstanding book. I’m so glad I got the audiobook version. Samara is an inspiration. Entertaining, heartfelt, and so very helpful. This book has been my voice and life coach over the last month, after I crumbled … You see, I wanted to start a YouTube channel, but after 87 billion takes, I gave up. I felt inadequate after a lifetime of hiding from cameras. It had been my plan to launch Episode 1 on my birthday. Instead, I took myself on a self-soothing shopping expedition and wound up at Barnes & Noble. This book jumped off of the table, and it’s exactly what I needed. Thank you for seeing me, Samara, before I was willing to be seen. Now, to get back to it.

Thank you for your service, Harry.

An interesting glimpse into royal life, but so much more. I identify so much with Harry’s story (a surprise to me!) and heart. If you are the black sheep of your family, if you’ve ever felt trapped in a system that’s built to hold you back, If you value truth, love and personal growth, get this book. The world needs more Harry(s). Favorite part: he sings a line of Elton John. So very human. Loved it.

Way more than enough.

Revisado: 12-07-22

I felt Mathew’s story in my heart, like I really felt my actual heart droop and dance as my emotions washed over me. I’m not an addict, at least not of drugs or booze, but this book resonates. Thank you for sharing so bravely. I hope you enjoy a very full, very healthy, very long life.

Wonderful.

I was expecting a hilarious and lighthearted read. That’s not what this turned out to be, but I’m so glad that I read it. Molly Shannon is pure inspiration. Her story will stay in my heart for many years to come. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

A "feel-good" fat-loss manual.

Revisado: 08-29-15

Before I review the book, I should mention that some chapters are great as an audiobook (particularly Dan John's portions). Other portions of the book are really more conducive to reading (like the strength programming chapters, which simply refer you to view the "included PDF". I'm new to Audible and unsure where the PDF is stored, so I didn't see those chapters here. I have the book on my Kindle, too, so it wasn't a big deal for me.

Now the review:

Dan John's chapters alone make this book a MUST-read for anyone with the desire to be better. And I don't just mean with regard to fat loss. I actually forgot, at times, that I was reading (yet another) book on fat loss. I stumbled across Dan's name because another trainer who I respect mentioned him in one of her digital products. Google led me to this book, and I am so glad the stars aligned. Dan's wisdom, humility and humor are a pleasure to read and he really digs into the way that perspective and approach contribute to our success (or lack thereof). But more importantly, he emphasizes enjoyment of the journey. He is a natural leader and left me feeling very motivated.

Josh Hillis had tons of practical advice and delivers straight-talk about how to get the body you desire. It's very matter-of-fact and, if you want to lose fat, amazingly helpful. I love the sensible "11 Habits" as a foundation upon which to build a lifestyle. I've done loads of research on how to eat the right foods to look amazing naked, and these habits are spot-on--and much, much more clearly explained in this book than most other resources. "Do this. Get that. Do that. Get this." No BS. Plus, Josh explains the hierarchy of which habits are most important and how to apply them.

If you are ready to dig into your own lifestyle habits, and truly try to unveil what works and what doesn't, this book is the next best thing to hiring a coach. If you're still feeling super emotional and angsty about whether your tired body can even lose weight anymore, the sensible advice in this book WILL HELP. It's reassuring to see the path. To paraphrase from the book, fat loss isn't a mystery, it's just a problem. And problems have solutions.

If, however, you're feeling overly emotional and still looking for a magic bullet that will deliver an ideal body in 30 days or less ... you're just not ready. And that makes me sad for you. You deserve the solid information in this book. If you can step away from your despair (and junk food), I have full faith that THIS BOOK can help you get where you need to go. Imagine the difference a year can make. :) I finally did!!
