The Successful Body: Using Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset to Live Better (Successful Mind, Body, & Spirit) Paperback – February 21, 2021

Great book! I really enjoyed getting different perspectives on the mental, physical and nutritional importance of living a healthy active lifstyle. I enjoyed the chapters on the mental mindset of the aspects of living healthy as well as the inspiring stories by the authors. I especially liked what Paul Scianna in chapter 25 shared about himself and the many clients he helped. The stories reminded me of my own struggle to stay healthy and to never give up. I too love boxing and use it to stay in shape!

Are you tired of barely getting through your day-to-day never feeling like yourself? If you aren't feeling well, but don't know what you could do differently then this book is for you. If you want to start truly understanding the power of your own body, you MUST get your hands on this book. In today's world, so many people don't understand how the stressors and toxins that bombard us on a daily basis affect our health. We weren't meant to live with so much stress, fatigue, pain, and sickness. If you are experiencing health issues and aren't happy with the answers you are getting from your doctor, you have to learn that there is so much out there for you. You can be happy, healthy, energized and live your best life you were meant to live. There are so many amazing experts here all in one place sharing their knowledge. Each expert includes their website and email address so you can search for more information or contact them. I cannot recommend this book enough.

I really appreciate this book’s holistic approach to health. So far I’ve read Wendy Quan’s chapter about mindfulness meditation, and Sébastien Assohou’s chapter about self-knowledge and caring for all aspects of mind and body - both of which I find very clear and well-written, with immediately actionable ideas. As I read, I began to breathe deeper as per the suggestions, and now I already feel more relaxed! I look forward to reading the rest :)

This easy to read book is a MUST HAVE! What a great daily reminder about caring for self. Hatcher says it best in Chapter 11 - “The mind and body cannot operate independent of each other.” We must be in tune with ourselves to be better people! The best way to do this, as Coletti mentions in Chapter 5, is to “Train our minds with practice”. Thank you for writing this book!

I bought this for my Kindle and the portability it affords. I am a cancer patient, trying to learn about every way to improve mind and body to bring mental and physical comfort back into my life. Well, I say "back" but as I learn, I find I am just now "getting" it. Keeping humor is a good addition, too, at least for me. There isn't a lot of that in this book that I have found yet, but I do find so much introspection and relaxation, which have been missing for many years. I think both the chapter on Chinese medicine (which drew me here) and especially the one on mindfulness meditation which follows it will keep me here and lead me where I would like to be.

I enjoyed the book each chapter different opinion from different people. Will read again and tells others to read it.

This thorough compilation from experts in the health and wellness fields is very valuable and a compelling read! Some chapters resonate more with me than others, but I like that I can jump around and see how the different authors speak to many of the same issues in thoughtful, provocative ways.

This book was a great resource for learning how to optimize my routine, workouts, and mentality to have my body performing in peak condition.Personally, I always felt my mental state dictated my success in sports and life more than any other factor. Chapter 6 by Toni Delos Santos really hit home for me—I got a lot out of it! For anyone else looking to improve their mental state in athletics and life, her section is a must read.

As a meditator who has tried various types of mindfulness practices, I particularly appreciated the chapter by Wendy Quan on Mindfulness Meditation and the Body. She clearly explains the benefits of these practices, including how it changed her life after her diagnosis of cancer. She describes 4 essential attitudes and includes an example of a meditation in the chapter. Whether you are a novice or experienced meditator, her advice is well worth reading!Vera Lagasse

This is an excellent book. The chapters are short and easy to read but packed with wisdom. I also like that it's doesn't need to be a front to back read more a dip in and out depending on your interest or need at a given time.

Wow! This book quickly gave me the key insights in so many of the areas of my health I know I can do better at. Plus it shows you how to start implementing the practices right now, in really easy ways...if you're looking for a book that cuts through the masses of info online and shows you how to make changes in your body now, this is a good purchase! Very happy customer :)

Love the book and how it written by 33 co authors sharing their perspectives and information in easy to read chapters. I like how there are links to to each of the authors to get more information in various areas ie. Nutrition, Mindfulness and Meditation and Fitness. Highly recommended!

I found a lot great tips and interesting insights on how to look after myself in this book. Even though I work in the fitness industry I still found some of the chapters really helpful and I am already implementing some of them into my own daily routines.
