Review "This book takes practical, real-world, time-in-the-trenches thinking to a whole other level. It's not often I come across a training manual that teaches you how to eliminate chronic pain, balance your hormones, detox your body, maximize fat-burning efficiency, and even hack your brain waves. This truly is the last book you'll ever need in order to master endurance, health, and life."---Chris "Macca" McCormack, Ironman World Champion About the Author Ben Greenfield is a coach, author, speaker, ex-bodybuilder, and Ironman triathlete.

Go for it!! No really.....get this book!
This really is the ONLY book you need to read for optimizing human performance! I keep it by my bed and keep referring back to it when I hear about "the next big thing" to see what Ben has to say on the subject. I'm not a pro athelete (far from it!!) and whilst I strive to be the best me that I can be, I don't want to destroy my body to get there. Ben's pragmatic approach to balancing life and sport was a revelation to me, and I now realise that although sport makes me happy, there is more to life to make you happier! The Ben Greenfield podcast is also full of really useful information at the cutting edge of performance enhancement.
