As a bra-burning feminist I have almost given up on following Social Media James in the past but, love him or loathe him, this is insightful and genuine no-BS advice! Time to stop sleep-walking through your life; to challenge the status quo; and to truly ask yourself if you’re on the right path to success, happiness and fulfilment.

I joined his James Smith Academy (JSA) back in 2018, and one of the best things about it (besides Diren Kartal's fine self *drool*) is that it's NOT the kind of program you join and then can never leave if you want to continue your progress. Louise and James discuss the common pitfalls many people go through when trying to exercise, perhaps out of obligation or to lose some of that midlife spread around the middle, and they warn against the plethora of misinformation on the internet about nutrition and training. The general principles laid down in the book will undoubtedly help anyone who reads it and follows the advice to feel happy and healthier.

So thus far, this book is exactly the same as the majority of other diet books over the last 30 years.
