  As Brian had mentioned himself, this book can be used like a toolbox.
  
  You have sections on mindset, nutrition and training, sleep and stress and building your own plan.
  
  I love that if I want to find more details about a particular topic, I can flick over to that section and read up on it.
  
  This is definitely something I will look back to over the years, definitely a great investment for a better life.
  
  The podcast is fantastic, but it is great to have things laid out in front of you in a book form.
  
  Thank you Brian!
