Customer Reviews

A great book to get you started on a healthier life

I think Ernest Rossi is sharing some very important information in this book. There is a lot of science behind what he says, but much more important than that is he offers concepts and practices that can work, IF you actually follow what he suggests.

Practice the 20 minute break and reap the rewards

I've been practicing the 20 minute break since November 2003, and it works for me. I believe it will help anyone who will take the time to practice it. It is a natural restorative state. I'm really glad I found this book.

Groundbreakingly great advice, 5 stars for usefulness...

Despite its slow start and somewhat dull style, the dynamite content of this book is worth mining: What work habits do Winston Churchill and Steven Hawking share that helped make them incredible acheivers? How can a simple 20 minute break (two or three times a day) profoundly affect creativity, productiveness, body fat storage, and problem solving?A long time ago I read somewhere that the British army once made record time over some incredible journey on foot by the simple trick of resting many short times each day. I've often pondered how to apply this to my own marathon workaholic style and this book is the answer I sought. Attention workaholics - this book is for you.What absolutely free and painless thing can we do to work smarter, think better, boost creativity, and lose weight? The answer (and the scientific evidence) is right here. My guess is that techniques described here will massively boost productivity - and health! But my fear is that this man and his theories are ahead of his time. And his lackluster writing style will fail to start the revolution to this "tortoise" style of winning life's race to achievement and health.Highly recommended for content, this book's only flaws are style and organization (surprising from publisher Jeremy Tarcher). Somebody else will probably rewrite this info into a bestseller. But if you're ready for some terrific advice now - be ahead of the crowd - buy this and read it. Life changing.
