This is is a great book for those who is passioned enough to read such educational books. It opens a very interesting spiritual site of your world observation and understanding. A lot of things explained from the prospective of Mexican Huicol Indians seem to be easy to feel and to follow. Imagination is the real co-worker during this book, if you did not have any previous contacts with native spiritual world.
I have been reeding several fiction book, but this is very successful combination of spiritual and physical cooperation. I was surprised to find this book between books about triathlon, although I was interested in such. It explains in simple steps the complex structure of human body, soul and balance between them, which helped me a lot to understand my mistakes I was doing with overtraining. I am using some techniques from this inspirational guide. They are so simple and great! Stories from Mark are coming from the real life and are very interesting, which makes such lecture less dry to read. Sometimes you can even feel close his experience.
Nutritional part leads you through all food you are going to need for different stiles of your life. Make sure to read it again after your finished this book. It gets better.
I can recommend this book for everyone, who wants to understand and improve his life, no matter where: in your job, sports or family. Or all them...
Only the ending is different and brings up some open questions, which in their turn push you to read it again...enjoy!
