Summary

AN ORDINARY MAN’ S QUEST TO HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY MIND, BODY, AND LIFE. If you had an opportunity to become the best version of yourself, would you do everything it takes to become it? When entrepreneur and TV producer John Aguilar first set out to film a documentary of his return to his sport two decades after retiring, little did he know that he would take a journey that would transform not only his body and get him in the best shape of his life, but also his mind to ask the questions that really matter. Is it possible for older people to bring back the hands of time and exceed their performance from their younger years? How important is sleep and why is it the single most underrated aspect in wellness? Is drinking red wine really good for you? These, and a lot more questions were asked, and in this book, we explore the answers. From Olympians and doctors and psychologists to Formula 1 performance coaches, John picks the minds of world experts at the bleeding edge of medicine, sports, and business to unravel what it truly means to achieve peak performance.
