"I was at the peak of my career as a medical doctor and had no idea that life had anything more in store for me. Then I met Mackie. After learning to think the way Mackie thinks, I had reserve energy and creativity that had previously been hidden, and I am happier and more optimistic. I have referred patients to Mackie, some of whom were too discouraged to try again to lose weight and get in shape. With his help, these patients got healthier, thinner, and more energetic - and their quality of life improved." —Kathleen Wilson, MD, Ochsner Clinic Foundation, New Orleans

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new book, December 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Maximum Energy for Life: A 21-Day Strategic Plan to Feel Great, Reverse the Aging Process, and Optimize Your Health (Hardcover)

This is a fantastic new fitness book -- it really shows you how to get fit and healthy now. The advice is sound and this book tells you everything you need to know about how to exercise properly to get great results, and the fitness information is combined with lots of healthy eating info and "life" info -- how to reduce stress and live a healthier, fuller life. I'm so happy to have found this book as the holidays and the new year approaches as I've been wanting to (finally) get fit for so long!
