Everyone wants to improve in at least one, if not all aspects of wellness. I like the way this book talks about life and existence beyond weight loss and compares American culture with Indian culture. Our society is so geared towards weight loss and dieting that we have forgotten what it means to live healthy and happy at the same time. I have tried many fitness and diet plans, and learned from my mistakes each time. More often than not, I have been disappointed with my results. In my experience, you must be happy with who you are, have someone to help you and be committed to reach your goals. This book talks about your attitude, environment, fitness and life goals and intertwines them into this nifty concept Nitin calls 'Total Activation'. Although I approached this as a skeptic, I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of information. I tend to get bored with fitness and self help books, but this book has an easy flowing style and is a breeze to read. It takes a while to become a true believer in EPSSI - emotional, physical, social, spiritual and intellectual wellness, but this dissection of 'wellness' as Nitin calls it has stimulated thought after putting the book down. The strategies are fundamental, yet deep. It takes days or even weeks to digest and apply these strategies but its well worth it once you incorporate them into your routine. I got a lot out of this book.

After buying this book on a recommendation, I find that this is the first book of its kind that combines many different elements for many different skill levels. I am from a family of four distinct age group and four distinct workout levels and this is the ONLY book that deals with ALL of our distinct goals. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to obtain an increased level of productivity, whether physical or mental! While there are many exercise books out there, this one has a very unusual yet welcome spin on east vs west health patterns and can be enlightening to both! The author has done a phenomenal job putting all this together and I can't wait for the follow-up book!

Interesting perspective on fitness and weight loss in America. It's not a 'run of the mill' approach or a fad, but a balanced system of wellness that originates in Indian culture. I like the comparison between East and West - an eye opener. The 30 day plan at the end of the book helps put all the pieces together. The book advises that Americans live life in a simple way - less food, less meat, more physical activity, meaningful goals and enriched social lives. It's an all inclusive 'life' - Total Activation. I am in Day 5 of the 30 day plan and it feels great."
