This is a guide for making positive changes to your health and daily habits, especially in the areas of exercise, diet, and lifestyle. There’s some really good information here, and I found this book to be helpful as a quick overview and a good motivational kick in the pants that you can read in 30-45 minutes. Probably a longer guide could be even more useful. My favorite thing about the book is the energetic tone. If you’re looking for a life coach to be right there, pumping you up in a hip, upbeat way, the book does a great job of capturing that voice.

I liked the key messages of doing all things in moderation, and allowing little cheat days whether it’s on a diet, or exercise plan. The book really does have some good messaging in it, which is another reason I wished the sections were a bit more fleshed out. While each section gives an overview, because the coverage of the topics in the book is so broad, the reader would need to seek outside resources to implement the changes suggested in any section. More detail would have made it even better. The section on creating an action plan was well done. The emphasis on making small, doable changes was something I liked.

Predictably, given the title, there is frequent cursing, sometimes five swear words per page. This is a book you should pick up with the understanding there's going to be lots of swearing--if that's your thing, you're golden. Overall, this is a book with good messages and an upbeat tone. 5/5 stars. ( )
