Book Reviews of Body, Mind, and Sport: The Mind-Body Guide to Lifelong Health, Fitness, and Your Personal Best
Book Review: A great book about how to exercise your whole being
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has had a profound influence on my athletic and spiritual development. Like many people, I never fit comfortably in the world of competitive athletics (though I had some success with it, competing at the state championship level in high school and in Division I athletics in college). I was drawn to athletic competition, but I did not have a feel for the deeper purpose behind all the effort that must go into training.
This book is really about how to experience a sense of balance and harmony in life, and how athletic activities can be a pathway to that experience. The author's wonderful experience of being in the Zone is inspiring, and in many ways is parallel to Csikszentmihalyi's concept of flow (see "Finding Flow").
Another strength of this book is that the author provides you with a comprehensive method and plan for achieving the state he describes in your sport.

Summary of Body, Mind, and Sport: The Mind-Body Guide to Lifelong Health, Fitness, and Your Personal Best
Until recently, the effortless "Zone" of peak performance was only within the reach of serious athletes. Now, with Body, Mind, and Sport, anyone can reach the Zone, regardless of fitness level.Designed to accommodate a variety of individual fitness needs, the Body, Mind, and Sport program is split into two levels. Level 1 is for non-athletes who want to improve overall fitness; Level 2 is for those who want to train for competitive or recreational purposes. Your own unique mind-body type is taken into account to guide you in achieving your personal best without stress or strain. In this revised and updated edition of Body, Mind, and Sport, fitness expert and trainer John Douillard outlines a program in which your individual seasonal constitution-Winter, Spring, or Summer-determines what exercises or sports are best suited to your mind-body type and what foods you should eat for optimum results.
Using the Body, Mind, and Sport approach you can decrease heart and breath rates while improving both fitness and performance. Dozens of world-class athletes, including Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King, have used John Douillard's expert breathing techniques, dietary recommendations, and seasonally balanced workouts. Now you can, too!
