Being an amature philospher and a middle of the pack runner, one of the more memorable events in my running career, was meeting Dr. George Sheehan and getting a signed copy of this book.

Dr. Sheehan was one of the best writers I have ever read. I don't know if it is my love of the subject, the quality writing, or the ability to connect with his life, but I love to read his work!

I remember reading his column in the 'Runners World' before anything else every month--I just couldn't get enough.

This book is no different.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I was amazed at how Dr. Sheehan wrote about things that I have thought about, dreamt about, and had to deal with in my running and life. All types and levels of athletes and even non-athletes will love this book. If you are a runner, this book will help you take a deeper look. This book will also help non-runners understand their running loved ones better!

This is one of my top 5 favorite books ever. Not only is it highly motovating in terms of running, but it is very inspiring in terms of life in general. George Sheehan was a living hero and this book can help you become a hero too.

This book is inspirational. It helps you maintain fitness habits and I like George's philosophical nature. I recommend this to runners and non-runners alike. We will miss the wit and humor of Sheehan who died of cancer during the last decade.
