Strength For Life will save your life.

What a difference...comparing "Strength for Life" to any of the other fitness/exercise books on the market today is like comparing a game of hopscotch with an Olympic long jump. This book is as much about personal growth and enlightenment as it physical fitness. Shawn has found a way to cut directly through the crap that stops most people from LIVING STRONG and motivates action based on our own innate desire to "be more". I never realized, before reading "Strength for Life" that it was the pursuit of living strong, not just healthy and in the absence of disease, that has had the most profound affect on my life. After reading Shawn's insights I'm ready to take it to a whole new level.

An Inspiring Call to Strength

I spend a lot of my time in "self-reflection"--attempting to see how to show up with strength and integrity in my life--how to create a strong and advantageous foundation for my children. And in reading Strength For Life, I am no less than completely in awe of Shawn's clarity, his intelligence, and the accuracy of his words as he speaks directly to these concepts.

I find myself not only motivated by Shawn's words but inspired to find and live my own greatest Strength. I've never felt so excited about what I believe could have truly transformative impact not only with the fitness minded but even more importantly with helping each and every person be inspired to live with Strength.

I have been changed by reading--and re-reading--Strength For Life and I wish for every person that I know to invest the time to enjoy Shawn's inspired message.

I wouldn't even categorize Strength For Life as a "fitness book," as it is so much more than that. This is most definitely a new category of mind-body integration--a call to individuals, communities, and to our country, to take a stand, to make a choice for Strength--strength of body, mind, and beyond.

Now is a time for us all to stand in strength together, to take full responsibility for the changes we want to have happen within our own lives and within our country. This book is not just about building your best body, it is about building--and sharing--your best life. Shawn Phillips makes it very clear that now is A TIME FOR STRENGTH!

Way beyond just health -- Full Strength for A Great Life --The Only Book You Need, period!

I can't say enough about the outstanding readability, intelligence and wisdom of the content. But equally important, it's the practicality of implementing the changes in thinking and behavior that Shawn suggests that makes this book so useful.

This is a new way of looking at our human condition. It's not just good health that we should seek. It's living a life of greater physical energy and mental acuity -- a life of full strength that will allow us the greater pleasure of feeling good, and the greater energy that will allow us the clarity of using our time to get more useful work done, to reduce fatigue, to relax more easily, to be more patient, and to be more generous -- all those things that help us to get the most from our lives.

It's less about the stress of being in control, and more about being in the zone of easy mastery -- of living with our full strength. If the average person carries a bucket of water, one in each hand, he or she struggles mentally and physically to keep balanced when maneuvering a narrow passage. For those who live lives of full strength, the task is less struggle and more fun.

There are very few books that have the potential to be life changing and world changing -- this is one of them. It's your life Shawn's addressing here -- and simply said, you'll get a greater thrill out of it every day, if you follow what's in this very encouraging, very wise, very practical book.

Don't worry about other books, plans, supplements, drugs, or marketing babble, you've either tried and failed with, resisted, or ignored. This is the advanced, smart, practical, gratifying, humanistic, up to date, plan that makes sense. This is the beyond health to full strength book -- and if that's what you're looking for, save your money -- this is the only book on the subject you'll ever need to buy.

Ties together health, fitness, life goals, and zen like nothing i've ever seen

And i thought Shawn's last book, AbSolution, was great. This book blows it out of the water.

I first read Body for Life in 2001. It was helpful but incomplete. Body for Life was a starting point, but left out the "why."

Strength for Life completes the "why" with incredible depth and passion - and brings the health and fitness components to a very high level. The Focus Intensity Training work has transformed my workouts. The idea of a cleansing "Base Camp" has been very useful and has changed my relationship with food and snacking. I find myself going back to Base Camp every once in a while after i've been off my eating plan.

And how Shawn ties health and fitness together with goals and higher life purpose must be read to be appreciated. I am a huge goal setter, and I learned several tools from Shawn in this book I have put into practice already.

Buy it. Read it. And tell your friends.

What if YOU were the first person to tell your friends about Body for Life in 1999? Be the first person to tell your friends about this decade's most important health & fitness book - Strength for Life. It's had that big of an impact on my life.

A whole new meaning to "Raising the Bar"!

When I had heard that Shawn had a new book coming out, I knew it would be good. After reading it, I realized I was wrong. Good...great...outstanding...those words fall short of what he has accomplished with Strength for Life. It's not just that he packages so much incredible information into a clear, concise message that makes sense and is easy to follow. But it's his ability to connect with each of us, to move us into action, and now, with the Strength to keep that energy continuously moving forward. As I said when I read it, "If this book doesn't move you into action, check to see if you have a pulse"!
