I'm normally not big on these books written by celebrities. Being Oprah's former trainer simply proves Green is a good salesman because the rich and famous hire confident self-promoters. But here,Green is mainly a cheerleader. The chapters on diet, exercise and motivation are written by experts, who treat ordinary folks, and for me that enhanced this book's credibility quite a bit. In particular, the information on the psychology of hedonism and self-improvement is extremely helpful. Learning why we avoid cardio while encouraging cravings is the first step towards behavior change. Rather than a litany of recipes and diet commandments, this volume brims with tips for improving your fitness, your outlook and your drive. Table of Contents INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1.
