I have read self-help books that purport happiness to be based on generating millions of dollars, or getting million-dollar real estate. However, this book by the Phan brothers actually provides a health-centric and holistic approach to getting genuine happiness. After all, happiness is a lifelong goal and can be achieved by anyone, regardless of culture, wealth or desires. This is like a health-driven book with a personal angle akin to the Art of Happiness book, albeit in a much more humble way. I recommend this book, since it presents the "if I can do it, so can you" way that appeals to all of us ordinary people.

Strange mix of co-authors, being two brothers. Very rare indeed. The book has an underdog feel of its style, with very honest, down-to-earth, no-nonsense writing by the two brothers. There is a spread of content from dieting, weight training (a mainstay of the brothers), and even yoga and meditation, with detailed reporting and research into the various topics. A must read for anyone looking for a NON-dummies guide to health and fitness, and yet written in a simple, unpretentious manner.

There are far too many health or self-help books from the West, which borrows heavily against Eastern health practices and philosophies. It is refreshing to see Asians in Asia writing a holistic health and fitness book to target global readers, and a high quality book on that as well. Highly recommended for anyone who is serious about dieting, nutrition, exercise without a gym, and life extension principles.

The Phan brothers are inspiring to say the least, not to mention their publication being very informative. Most bookshops in Singapore stock mainly english books ... so this book on body-building and health, written by Singaporeans, is a refreshing and extremely useful read. Many of my Singapreans friends have read this book....
