I started reading it at the suggestion of my Beachbody coach and have to say I am glad I did. It's not that anything Chalene writes is revolutionary. In fact, it's mostly just a book of common sense. But she lays it out in a way that makes it easy to apply some significant changes to your everyday life. I would like to use the phrase life-changing here, but I will reserve that label until I've had a few months to continue following these new habits.
The book is actually set up with 30 daily readings, each between 2 to 6 pages. Nothing overwhelming, for sure. Still, it took me two months to finish the book. I don't fault Chalene for this. It took me 11 years to finish a 4 year degree and I have been working my dissertation forever (literally, forever), so I tend to be on the slow side with this type of thing.
But I did finish it and I have applied the recommendations Chalene provides in this simple, yet powerful book and I have felt a shift in my life. A shift for the better. And I plan to revisit the book every few months to make sure I'm still applying the knowledge and pushing myself forward.
Bonus? There are some yummy recipes at the end of the book, none of which have I tried to make. I don't cook. In fact, if I ever make my million, I'm hiring a personal chef. And grocery shopper. Grocery shopping also makes me sad. I'd live off of TV dinners if I didn't believe they would give me cancer. (Yeah, I totally believe that.)
Happy reading!
