Ross Edgley famously ran a marathon pulling a 1.4-tonne car and climbed a rope the height of Everest (8,848 m), after living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and partaking in Shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. On his epic 1,780-mile journey around Great Britain, which lasted 157 days, Ross swam through giant jellyfish, arctic storms, ‘haunted’ whirlpools and polluted shipping lanes, going so hard, and so fast, his tongue fell apart.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Publisher's Summary
The Sunday Times best seller.
How to train for anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere.
The World's Fittest Book is set to become every fitness enthusiast's bible. Dubbed the body's complete user guide, it will become the go-to resource for learning all you need to know about building muscle, losing fat, eating (healthy) cake and unlocking your superhuman physical potential.
Packed with workouts the author tried and tested in the pursuit of multiple world records, it's more than a book, it's the greatest training tool ever written! Designed for anyone who wants to make permanent and lasting changes to their food and fitness, it's the first book to combine the teachings, tips and tricks of Olympic and world champions into one easy to follow resource.
This book will show you how it's possible to:
- Live below 10 percent body fat with the aid of chocolate and Mayan secrets
- Add 27 percent more muscle mass, courtesy of tips from world heavyweight champions
- Increase speed by 10 percent, thanks to gold medal winning Olympic sprinters
- Squat, deadlift and bench weights you never dreamed of lifting, with the guidance of the world's strongest men
- Improve endurance capacity by 60 percent, thanks to the knowledge of world champions in multi endurance-based sports
...all of which the author has achieved during the 10-year 'fitness pilgrimage' that has taken him around the globe.
Aiming to be the most eclectic and comprehensive fitness guide ever created, The World's Fittest Book is the sum and substance of over a decade of research and the collective wisdom of some of the greatest minds and athletic bodies in history. By learning the lessons within it, listeners will understand 'fitness' better than the vast majority of the population. Every chapter has an easy to digest workout within it and can be listened to individually. But if you want to listen to the stories and the science behind the routines, that's there, too.
Until now, there hasn't been a book covering such an ambitious range of areas, catering for the casual fitness enthusiast seeking clarity and guidance in their own gym routine and kitchen habits as well as the seasoned sportsperson who's hit a plateau and is searching for tips, tricks and tweaks they can make to their training and diet. This book changes that and will take you on a journey to whatever level of fitness you want to find.

This was a really interesting book. Ross goes over some of the tried and tested basics of fitness. Found this really useful for my own training. There is a lot in this book, strength, speed, endurance, and much more. I would recommend this to anyone who currently trains for anything, as well as to those who don't currently exercise, to ensure that they adhere to the basics.
