A guide to self experimentation,
By Dost (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 4-Hour Body: An uncommon guide to rapid fat-loss, incredible sex and becoming superhuman: The Secrets and Science of Rapid Body Transformation (Paperback)
The early advice in the book is to not read the whole book, just pick out the chapters that interest you. This is what I usually do, but I read the 4 hour body all the way through in one weekend. It is fascinating, it is informative and I learned a lot. Yes there is a recipe of what you should do to reduce fat and train better (and in much less time). But what I take away is the self experimentation I can do too and have fun with it. I am inspired by Tim who is quite clearly an exceptional individual. His passion and knowledge oozes out of this book.
In particular if you want children, men should read about Tim's insight in this area and the female orgasm chapter is very.... DETAILED.... with diagrams on how to and even what to say and all. That should suit a lot of men! One thing that is seriously annoying is, that the editors deemed it necessary to translate all the kg weights into stone & pounds for the British release of the book. This was done by somebody who has no concept of British measures and therefore they are often wrong. Nobody would use 0.12st for a kilo or at one stage they claim 14 kg = 7 stone. They also translated every $ amount into � as well. WHY? It really is annoying and distracting when reading the book, please leave it out in the reprint.

Comprehensive, informative and great fun too!,

This review is from: The 4-Hour Body: An uncommon guide to rapid fat-loss, incredible sex and becoming superhuman: The Secrets and Science of Rapid Body Transformation (Paperback)
After receiving this book today I took some time out and went to have a coffee and read. Pretty soon it was very clear that this book would be life changing for so many people. What Tim has done here is create a play book of various 'life hacks' and improvement suggestions that virtually anyone living can benefit from.
Now let me get a couple of things straight first before you see other reviews and junk appear on here. 1 - This book will not change your life FOR you, effort is required. Derrr.... Did you really expect to buy the book and have it do the steps for you? No? Good, read on. 2 - Don't read it cover to cover, it's not designed that way. It is meant to be a guide for specific aspects of your lifestyle that you want to change dramatically. 3 - Get your brain out of the way of your success. In other words, stop thinking and analysing and do it! So far, and I haven't read the whole book yet, I can use the sections on 'Subtracting Fat', 'Perfecting Sleep', 'Reversing Injuries' and 'On a Longer and Better Life' to get started with a real lifestyle overhaul. Like Tim I plan to live well past 100, but what Tim has not mentioned was that I intend to take a few people I really love there with me, so extra copies of this book are on the way as presents. Tim, if you are reading this, congratulations on a job very well done. The detail and amount of research in this book is truly amazing, and even if I find a bit that I don't like (hasn't happened yet) I plan to keep it in the context that it is intended and benefit from the rest of the amazing content. Quite simply, buy the book, then USE IT!

Great book but take it with a pinch of salt.,
By Steven C (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 4-Hour Body: An uncommon guide to rapid fat-loss, incredible sex and becoming superhuman: The Secrets and Science of Rapid Body Transformation (Paperback)
If you haven't read Tim's blog or previous book (4 Hour week) you might be a bit put aside with his writing style. He might appear as a bit arrogant at first, but don't let yourself being discouraged by that.
This book is full of information and ways to improve your physical/mental condition. This is more a reference book as not all chapters might concern you. Tim is an empiricist, meaning that he tries everything before taking any conclusion, this is not exactly a step by step guide but more a philosophy to develop regarding your body and how you feel, he gives you examples of what he tried, it's up to you to try that, tweak it and see which bits work the best. I like his approach as you don't have the same pressure as most of the diet. I tried the low card diet and lost 2 Kilos on the first week, I was just going to go for a week as I don't like any type of restriction when it comes to eating/drinking etc... After seeing the effect I'm going to give it a go for 3 more weeks. So to summarize, the good points about this book, you can read any chapter in no particular order, I like his style of writing, lots of anecdotes and funny stories. Another good point is that it works for me! Bad points will be more about the time it took them to publish the British version (1 month later), which except translating dollars into pounds does not add much in terms of value. It's a bit of a pain to look for the products he talks about in the book and find it in the UK. We should have had a list at the end with the UK links to make it worthwhile. Especially when you had one month to get this ready! ok rant finished, I will update this review in three weeks to see how it went. Keep it up!

Not just for men
I was so impressed by the enthusiasm of a young man was about to fly to NY in December for the launch of this book, that I bought it as soon as it was available in the UK.

It definately works!
I follow Tim's blog and am therefore pretty sceptical about the reviews from his "followers", so like any intelligent (self-professed) person I had to see for myself.
