Do Life: The Creator Of �My 120-Pound Journey� Shows How To Run Better, Go Farther, And Find Happiness (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a great book to read if you are looking to make a change in your life. This book focuses on weight loss but you really could apply the idea to anything. Ben Davis lost 120 pounds and has gone on to complete many races, marathons and the ultimate, an Ironman competition. What an inspiration he is! The book also contains his training plans he used for his races, which is nice to see as well. Ben was so fortunate to have a great support system through his journey, from Meemaw to his brother and his father. But he was also receptive at those moments, so bravo to him. I know his training plans were not conventional and he does not prescribe that you follow them to have your own success with weight loss, dealing with an addiction, or developing a running program. He encourages you to find your own path, with suggested training plans for running at different distances along the way. I Even if your life is great now, it can be better. Ask yourself, "what's next?" then set up a realistic, quantifiable goal and an action plan to get there. Enjoy the journey and take risks by pushing yourself. Sometimes you will have to "act your way into right thinking." Expect plateaus and have a plan to get through them...something that will break you out of a rut. Don't give up and embrace those around you when things are not easy. Moving forward will be so worth it though.

If you boil this book down to actual content it is the size of a pamphlet. Disappointing.
