This inspiring, science-backed guide to peak fitness blends personal experience with expert advice. It covers training, nutrition, and a mindset for all levels.With humour and practical tips, it’s a must-read for anyone serious about fitness—whether you're a beginner or an athlete looking to push limits. Highly recommended!

I've been a "fitness buff, gym rat, 'it's a lifestyle', junkie" for a little over 10 years now. I've gotten my personal training certification and a nutrition associates degree, I've explored as many fitness fads as have been put out there and tested man of them out on myself. Through years and years of work, I've found what has worked for me and been able to keep myself in decent shape. I'd consider myself in the top 20% of the health and wellness of people in the U.S.HOWEVER!!!!This book is the first book that I've read in a long time about the "fitness industry" in which I've gained any kind of useful knowledge! Ross is very insightful in his work and research. He makes all of his findings easy to understand and then put into practice. And overall, this is just a fun read. It's as entertaining as it is academic.I highly recommend this book to anyone getting started on a health and fitness journey and to anyone who has all the experience in the world (this book will prove you don't but Ross, in fact, does) in the industry. His adventures are extravagant and his achievements are far grander and a little insane if I'm being honest. But that's the type of person you have to be to write a book title "The World's Fittest Book".Check it out!

This is probably one of the most impressive fitness (and nutrition) books I've ever read! While I've read many of them over the years, I can say, without a hesitation, this is a very unique, counter-cultural approach to ALL THINGS fitness. He busts myths, smashes records, and even creates new ones that I highly doubt will be repeated.The book is formatted in an easy to read and understand way. It also helps that Ross takes (and gives plenty) of fact based science and explains it in an easily absorbable way without seeming to talk down to or shame you. His willingness to subject himself to whatever neccessary to humbly learn and carefully pass on new fitness information is far exceeding my expectations, and probably most people's who will read this book!If you're looking for a knowledge (and occasionally action) packed book on all things fitness, for whatever you may want to train for, this is a MUST HAVE in your library. Even though he states "this is just a book, not a bible", I consider this as close as one will get! Get it. Use it. Enjoy the results.

This is beautiful book with thick, glossy pages and lots of photos, charts and graphs. The author relates a number of his fitness adventures and how he trained for them. Pros: interesting stories and tons of fitness research and principles. Cons: the editor either has horrible ADD or was overwhelmed by the volume of material and did not want an 800 page book. There are recipes in the middle of stories, stories with no pictures of main characters and workouts peppered throughout the book. This might be intentional given the short attention span of most adults but I disliked the format. Bottom line: if you are committed to a fit lifestyle, you'll love this book.

Not what I expected.........................it turned out to be more.This book is a mix of a memoir, a fitness manual, and a de-bunker of conventional fitness advice.This is about how Ross went around the world and learned about how people from different cultures and occupations lived and trained.An example of this is how he trained with the Royal Marines; lets just say it put everything he did about to train to shame.Now this book does go into detail about how to train based on his travels and his mentors, but you'll be suprised when you see it. I personally havent read anything like this since American Shaolin and am truly enjoying every bit of it.Ross; thanks so much for writing this! Its an awesome book that needed to come out sooner rather than later.

The way the book was written allows it to be an easy exciting read without the half asleep head bob of the typical reseach only book in this genre. Having worked in the fitness industy and studying biomechanics and mechmical engineering has given me an in depth knowledge of the science but no experience in real world application with athetes of the highest caliber and this is where i see this book being very valuable. If you love fitness and would like to expand your knowledge to a level that one can only do by dedicating their life to training, traveling, and networking with the best of the best i highly recommend this book because Ross does it for you!

This book is alright. It's not bad or good eithier. I didnt like this book becuase the author talks a lot about his story. He talks a lot about traveling around the world and meeting people. The people he met were into differnt styles of training but he doesn't write what they really do completely. I didn't learn anything from this book. It was alright i wouldnt read it again because it was too much storytelling. I just want to know the facts and the information. Get to the point.

I got the book after checking out what one of my favorite athletes had to say about it on social media. I have this book next to my bed and I read what ever speaks to me the most that day, back to back and over and over. this book is so dynamic, especially if you are looking to improve yourself athletically and build to be strong using all methods out there, so the book give you the principles - it teaches you how to create a stronger version of yourself as individual athlete. I love it, game changer for me and I HIGHLY recommend to listen to his podcasts cause this guy is very special and he might make u fall in love with him a little...
