Bulletproof Health and Fitness is a book for average people who can't suddenly switch to an extreme diet - or don't want to - and can't sweat in the gym for 20 hours per week.
Michal Stawicki can do 150+ pushups and 40+ pullups; he hasn't been off work sick since July 2013. And, like any ordinary man, he also has a life to live: a day job, wife and kids, church obligations, a daily 3-4 hour commute and random disasters (a broken furnace, flat tire, delayed trains, children's illnesses...)
In Bulletproof Health and Fitness, he shares his down-to-earth approach for losing weight, getting and staying fit, and keeping his health optimal. And he shares how you too can unlock a force of incredible energy; the energy you need so badly to face life's everyday challenges.
In this book you will learn:
- Why getting your body into prime condition is your first step to success
- The single rule which determines whether any workout or diet will be a success
- The biggest mistake people make when trying to get back in shape
- Why targeted habitual actions are the perfect way average people can regain and keep their health
- The only four elements you must look after to maintain your stamina
- Why you can eat whatever you want and stay fit
- The three things necessary for getting good sleep
- How even fasting for 120 hours won't kill you.
- How can you exercise less than 15 minutes a day and be able to do 100 consecutive pushups
- Why cardio is usually a waste of time (and how it can become time well invested)
Buy this book NOW and regardless of life's challenges, you'll soon enjoy new-found health and fitness.

Proven techniques from a practitioner. True stories.Does the concept of 'visualization' sound ridiculous to you?Do you consider mental exercises, the "law of attraction", "manifesting" and self development to be a waste of time or hokey-pokey?Has it been years since you thought seriously about your life?Welcome to the club! That describes me just a year ago. I was overweight, stressed, constantly worried about my finances and quietly desperate about my relationship with God. I was aimless. I had no plans for where my life would be in 2, 5 or 10 years.I'm a reader. I've read several thousands books in my life; there wasn't much else to do in Poland before the fall of communism. We had a black and white TV with only 2 channels; I didn't see my first computer until age 11. So, reading became my biggest habit.In August 2012 I read a book called "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. It took me a whole month to start implementing ideas from this book. That led to me reading numerous other personal development books, some effective, some less so. I looked at myself and decided this was one person who could surely use some development. In November of 2012, I created my personal mission statement; I consider it the real starting point of my progress. Over several months I applied several self-help concepts and started building inspiring results: I some weight, greatly increased my savings, built new skills, got rid of bad habits and developed better ones.I'm very pragmatic, a "down to earth" person. I favor utilitarian, bottom-line results over pure artistry.Despite the ridiculous language, I found there is value in the "hokey-pokey visualization" stuff. I now see it as my mission to share what I have learned.My books are not abstract. I avoid going mystical as much as possible. I don't believe that pure theory is what we need in order to change our lives; the Internet age has proven this quite clearly. What you will find in my books are:- detailed techniques and methods describing how you can improve your skills and drive results in specific areas of your life- real life examples- personal storiesSo, whether you are completely new to personal development or have been crazy about the Law of Attraction for years, if you are looking for concrete strategies, you will find them in my books. My writing shows that I am a relatable, ordinary guy, not some ivory tower guru.I've been married over 12 years. I'm a father of two boys and one girl. I work full time in the IT industry, and recently, I've become an author. My passions are transparency, integrity and progress.

Your Body Is Your Basic Asset
You are your most precious asset and your body is an integral part of who you are. (You can study the You are your most precious asset
concept a bit further by checking out the free introduction to this series, Simplify Your Pursuit of Success.)
Any improvement you can make in the functioning of your body improves your well-being.
You may wonder about my qualifications. I’m neither a personal trainer nor a bodybuilder. I’m neither vegan nor diet specialist. I’m an ordinary guy who takes care of his body among a multitude of duties all of us have: job, family, church, and more.
In my job, I spend four hours a day commuting and eight hours a day sitting behind a desk.
I’m male. I’m 36 years old. Let’s check out my body and my health.
I am 5’5" tall (shorter than average). I weigh about 143 lbs. I can do 153 consecutive push-ups or 35 archer’s push-ups on one arm. My record is 46 consecutive chin-ups and 43 consecutive pull-ups. I’ve heard that’s quite an extraordinary performance for someone training without weights for only 15 minutes a day. I was last sick in July 2013, with a fever of some kind (plus a nasty case of a runny nose in October 2015). I began taking proper care of my body only about three years ago. I had paid almost no attention to it before.
All of the above indicators point to me having achieved something I call a successful body. The stamina and strength I get from it provides me with loads of energy. I’m able to do much more than merely fight each day for another breath of air.
Among my many obligations, I have a writing career. I began it in April 2013. On top of my full-time job, commuting, family issues, and social obligations, I write at least an hour a day and work on my own personal development for another hour. The most important takeaway is this: I’ve done this consistently for over two years. Hardening my body has helped me to harden my mind and has freed an untapped source of energy.
Some people don’t agree that your body is part of your essence. Referred to as Gnostics, they despise everything in the material world. Among the many crazy philosophies that people have described throughout millennia, this is one of the craziest. Gnostics claim that spirit
is all that really counts, and therefore, the body is nothing, just pure filth, and anything you do to it is unimportant. In my view, this is lunacy, and I don’t argue with lunatics. I avoid them.
Surely, there is nothing more intimate than your own body. Our language clearly shows that we feel this way as a culture. Sayings such things as, You get under my skin
or I need to get something off my chest,
vividly illustrates this level of familiarity.
By changing your body, you can change your whole being, which will have the effect of changing your whole life. This can lead to enormous success. There are a lot of stories out there that illustrate this. Some who successfully transformed their bodies, started new careers or businesses. For example, Isabel De Los Rios, after a fight with obesity, launched her own fitness and nutrition business and is now helping thousands of people.
Transforming your body is sooooo easy compared to the process of transforming your mind. Mastering your body is just a question of a few simple disciplines that you intimately understand: eat less, eat better, move more, drink smarter, and sleep better. It is easy because you receive almost instant feedback after every action. Sleep well at night, and you’ll feel better the next day. Start moving more, and after a week or two, you’ll notice the things that were difficult—like those dreadful stairs—are easier now. Stop eating junk and you’ll notice a difference on the scale after a month.
In contrast, molding your personal philosophy and mindset while painstakingly analyzing yourself is much harder to master because these things are not tangible. You are not used to working actively with your mind, because you spent your life letting your mind do as it pleased. Your mind, on autopilot, has taken care of everything. It filters all sensory inputs and all cognitive impulses (data connected to your beliefs and worldview), and arranges them in accordance with your past experiences and present philosophy.
How close can you get to the time set by the fastest 60 meter runners in the world? How much can you lift compared with the weight the world’s strongest person can lift? Me, I’m too short to break the world’s weight lifting record. My body is too small and can support too little muscle mass to reach that accomplishment. But a couple of years ago, I had an epiphany. I was participating in the online Transformational Contest organized by Early to Rise. Its chief editor, Craig Ballantyne, started his career as a personal trainer many years ago and made a small fortune selling his fitness programs over the Internet. His life has been focused on health and fitness since his university days. During the contest, he announced a challenge: How many pull-ups could any of the participants do within eight minutes? He demonstrated his performance and I beat him by two.
I am a white-collar worker. I spend eight to twelve hours just sitting on my ass behind a desk or on public transport. I was able to
