I was in absolute awe finding out what David was able to put his body through while reading this book, it is unbelievable.

I can see why this book is on a lot of recommended lists it truly is an inspiring read that sometimes feels like a fantasy.

But he didn't start as one of the fittest and toughest men, as he mentions in the book "he should have been a statistic" because of his childhood.

Incredibly he was able to take control of his mind and body to defy the odds and achieve what most people just dream of.

As you read through his achievements it is hard to believe that one person has been able to achieve so much, as he puts it he has lived ten lives in one.

While each story or lesson is inspiring enough, he also provides challenges after each chapter so that you can apply what learned in your life which makes the book even more valuable.

I think this was the perfect book to end the year with, if you are looking for some fascinating holiday reading give this one try!
