This book was great. A mix of modern mystery and greek mythology.

Here's the thing with this book - It's a simplified version of some things we can try to implement to increase our functional potential. It does not address all the obstacles that hinder each individual from achieving their goals with nutrition or fitness. The advice is not for everyone depending on your goals or situation. It's one guy's opinion based on his experience and basic-level research, nothing more. ⬇️ (Cont'd in comments) ⬇️

jitteryjane724 HOWEVER, after reading this book I do feel more inspired to find smart ways to challenge and exceed my current limitations. And that is enough for me to recommend this book. 1y

The last time I read this I knew nothing about anatomy, kinesiology, or strength&endurance training. Now I have a doctorate in something related to that...looking forward to re-reading (and learning) from a different perspective this time (and I always love a good inspirational book)!

Stack of unread books in my home library to satisfy the What‘s in a Name 2023 Challenge; tagged book has been on my Classics Club 50 lists since committing to it.

Ruthiella I‘ve only read The Liars Club. It was tough in parts due to abuse suffered by Karr as a child, but beautifully written. 1y
BkClubCare @Ruthiella - yeah… I attempted Liar‘s Club a few months ago and it was just too much Texas! 1y
BkClubCare Tagging @AvidReader25 — okay, we can swap in 1y
BkClubCare @AvidReader25 - I will hopefully read both! 😆 1y
AvidReader25 I‘m totally in for that! 1y

I have mixed feelings about this book. It‘s a great WWII story. It‘s a great adventure story. It has some interesting points and ideas about exercise that really get you thinking. Unfortunately, this is not a book for someone struggling in their relationship with food or recovering from (or suffering with) an eating disorder.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics The book advocates a type diet that has been proven time and again to not have the claimed health benefits and even cause harm to one‘s health. This book even goes as far as to claim Paleo/Keto/Atkins aren‘t diets because you‘re not counting calories or restricting portions. How ridiculous.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 (edited) 2y
GingerAntics You‘re restricting whole food groups! That is a diet, pure and simple. It doesn‘t matter if the Lakers all started doing it and Kobe Bryant liked it. It‘s madness. Our ancestors knew that bodies came in all different shapes and sizes. Our ancestors knew one‘s best bet is to eat as many varieties of food as possible. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 2y
GingerAntics The ridiculous notion of sugar addiction and it being as addicting as illegal drugs has been debunked so many times, for so many years, it shouldn‘t even have made it into this book. I wanted to love this book the way I loved Born to Run, but I should have taken the hint with the fatphobia in that book and just stayed away from this one. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 2y
GingerAntics This is just far and away scientifically disproven nonsense being touted as health/nutrition advice. Sorry, I didn‘t finish this book because I couldn‘t take anymore. I just couldn‘t do it. It had a cool story and a cool adventure to learn more about that story, but the focus should have stayed in that area as opposed to veering into nutrition myth and legend. 2y

Just as much a page-turner as it was when I read it as a teenager and again 15 years ago. Even if it's been overtaken by archaeology in places it's still the way things ought to have been. And who wouldn't want to be a bull-dancer?

Bookwomble I've had this tbr for aeons! Glad to hear it's a pleasure I have in store 😊 We visited Knossos a few years ago and it was literally awesome! 🐂 2y
