review 1: It was incredibly refreshing and it made me wonder and question my life. I, as a person, am constantly inspired by the constant determination Nole shows to us everyday and in all his matches, I was since the first time I saw him on tv. He got me to love tennis like Pete Sampras got him, I just happen to be the laziest person in the world. That settled I should say that the book really made me think and gave me some good advices. Finally as a fan and a supporter is beautiful getting to know him as a person a little better. I am extremely humbled by the way he approaches life, fame and pressuring and I think his social involvement with his foundation or even when he rescued people on the motorway in Serbia shows how down to earth he really is and how human. This was a really... more good read and it got me to smile also which I think it's great
review 2: Talent, skill and his game apart, the one thing you admire most about Novak Djokovic is his endurance. Nothing seems to stop him. He can raise his game as and when needed, physically and mentally. It appears that he could walk into the zone anytime. Most athletes spend a lifetime trying to get into that zone. That zone is peak performance. Novak credits his remarkable transformation to change in his eating habits and patterns. He talks about gluten free diet which has helped him excel both physically and mentally.His suggestions and recommendations to switch to gluten free diet make sense. The content is well researched. It is quite remarkable on his part that he has shared his experiences with all his goodwill and intention.However, overall the book falls just short. It could have been so much more. So much more about Novak.The book starts on a very promising note. His childhood days and struggle are engaging read. That was brief and the book quickly transitioned to his diet, physical plans and regime. You don't get to meet Novak-the person, but only Novak-the diet consultant. The book, only very rarely and if so, very briefly, talks about his game plans, his equation with his peers and most importantly his innermost thoughts like the ones before a big match or during the days when he struggled to achieve physical and mental excellence. Maybe the book wasn't intended to be that way. But this is where some personal connect is missing. It would have been so much fun reading about Novak- the person first and then Novak- the consultant. The book remains a self-help guide only. Nonetheless, a good read still. less
