Story
We are becoming more and more obsessed with being thin...as we get fatter and fatter! The craziest part is that most weight loss 'solutions' are actually part of the problem. Diet and exercise programs fail 97% of people in the long-term, resulting in short term weight loss, medium term regain and long-term gain approximately 10 to 15% above starting weight. Scientists have known this reality for decades - the entire diet industry is based on it - yet we keep on falling for promises of fast, easy, permanent weight loss.

One big Ad
I think there are some good take aways to learn in this book, but alot of the time it felt like you were listening to a big ad for other michelle bridges products. Multiple times through the book she (Michelle) reads out customer comments of her 12WBT program. I was a little disappointed to be honest.

inspiring and informative
While she is a one-of-a-kind, sheer persistent and extremely a hard working lady (that 99% of us could not be) the lessons in this book are clear and doable. She gives a lot of her own life story in a most natural and authentic way but at the same time shines through in wanting to help and motivate people and providing lots of tips to do so, much of it an attitude adjestment. She also mentions the benefits of sleep, relaxation, relationships and how much disease and distress can be prevented by good health. ie new facts we may not have considered. An easy to listen to good, satisfying and inspiring book without being dry or too deep.

Anytime I hear about someone with a passion at an early age, I am interested. Michelle is honest about her “flaws “ and humble about her achievements and determination. Imagine is she and the Barefoot Investor wrote School syllabus. We would kids who are fit, understand nutrition, can cook and good with money. Very enjoyable and inspiring.

Are you the best you can possibly be?
Perfectly narrated by Michelle Bridges. I Love how she made her way into the health industry. It’s a brilliant book. I love her fitness plan to help others when she was young at school and actually cared about people not joining in with exercise activities. I respect Michelle more so now after listening to her book. I will definitely seek out more. I remember thinking how I’d love Michelle in my ear years ago when I did the first 12WBT program. Over the years I’ve kept 26kg off. I really needed to hear these words today as I was feeling lost with my health plan. Thank you for creating the perfect program. ♥️

Potentially inspiring
What did you like best about Make It Happen? What did you like least?
I liked the upbeat narration. Michelle has the potential to inspire others, however her book is more autobiography than self-help. There are few action steps one can follow. A lot of advice is common sense, mostly about working out, and it tends to be repetitive.
Michelle has clearly always been an active, engaged person with a strong desire to succeed in the world of fitness. Those with emotional or motivational struggles may not find her advice to "just get on and do it" all that helpful.
