Prior to reading it, I'd been talking to Vid about my dissatisfaction with my lack of progress in the area of fitness, and he thought that I might find this book helpful. I really didn't know what to expect, but I decided to read it with an open mind and a willingness to listen. I must admit, I loved this book. Before this book, the only other book on fitness and/or nutrition that I found of value to me was "Body-for-LIFE - 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength" by Bill Phillips. I thought BFL was a great book for offering a guide on how to get physically fit, however, EBC goes deeper then practice, it helps one address the reasons behind our relationships with food. Together I believe both books offer real long term value for me and I am eager to fuse the two into a practical way of life for me.
Other books I've been reading these days are: "The Four Agreements" and "The Four Agreements - Companion Book" both by Don Miguel Ruiz, "Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life" by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D. and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by J.K. Rowling. I also plan to add "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle to my list of books I'd like to read soon.
My life has been extremely busy since I began working from home full time, and I have neglected a lot of things, not the least of which is sunlight. In an effort to add more balance to my life I want to add more time to read and play, I haven't quite figured it all out yet, but I am working on it.
I'll keep you all posted on how things develop, in work, and in play. Thanks for stopping by.
