Eat. Sleep. Move. Breathe

Book excerpt: Too often, books on health and wellness are too long and cumbersome to motivate the reader. Thick books weighed down with technical jargon can be overwhelming for the average person. This book remedies that by focusing on four pillars of health: eating cleaner, sleeping better, moving more, and calming your mind. With brief sections, a conversational style, and anecdotal stories, the authors have drafted a book that can not only inform the average reader, but inspire us all to take the first steps toward living our best life. Endorsement: I love this book! If you asked me to take decades of experience working at the bleeding edge of human athletic performance and boil it to the most essential behaviors for long term, sustainable success, it would be this book! The trick to unlocking our incredibly robust and antifragile natures is to appreciate the way that the keystone behaviors in this book integrate into a cogent whole. Performing these "basics" well for the rest of your life will never get old or go out of style. The principles within these pages are the fundamentals of being a truly savage human. -Dr. Kelly Starrett, DPT, Coach, Physio, Co-Founder of The Ready State 2x NYT Best Selling Author.
