review 1: I love Tony Horton. I mean, I haven't made my way through P90X completely (yet), but the guy knows his fitness. And here's the thing- fitness advice tends to cross over to life advice pretty often. Those principles that make us physically healthy- pushing hard, being consistent, doing your best, properly recovering- those are all things that make us emotionally healthy too. As a side note, a least once a month, the pastor at the church I attend talks about P90X in a sermon- again, usually about the importance of consistency. Each chapter in this book is a different "law" to practice. Take what you need, leave what you don't, but it's full of pretty solid practical advice, enough stories to keep it interesting, and some classic TH humor (okay, note on that last point, his b... moreook humor is way funnier than his workout humor, just sayin'). Definitely recommend as a good personal development book- gives you a little pep talk and motivation to start putting some healthy habits into practice. Get out there, and "Do your best, and forget the rest".
review 2: As I'm nearing the end of the P90X program, I realize there's an interesting bond that occurs when you're spending 5-7 hours a week with a persona on the TV. I know all of Tony's pre-recorded lines by heart at this point, but I still look forward to the hour we have each morning. This made me interested in reading his new book. Granted, a lot of the advice in the book is simplistic, or maybe it's because I've heard a lot of before through his workout programs or his YouTube channel. But there were also some helpful and inspiring points that he brings up making it worth the investment of time and money. This book is best for someone who is interested in health and fitness, especially if you're thinking about (or are already doing) the P90X program. It's a very easy read and has some good tips for taking care of your body and mind. less
