Let me save you quite a bit of time and rewrite this entire book in one sentence for you. "Studies show that exercise will cure what ails you!" Read that sentence over and over and over and over again for 300 pages, and you will have gotten everything you will get out of this book.
In any case, the author seriously oversells his case. He sounds like a used car salesman desperate to make a sale at the end of a slow month. He'd be a lot more likely to close the deal if he toned down the superlatives about how great the stereo is and the new paint job and told me how to make the car actually run. I happen to know first-hand that exercise can indeed improve your life, but there's no reason it should take anyone 300 pages to make that point.

I bought this book since the title sounded interesting. However, after reading the first three chapters I found it to bequite technical, full of jargons and missing the point. There are some interesting snippets but on the overall its quite disappointing.
