Story5 out of 5 stars 57
In A More Complete Beast, Jack Donovan picks up Friedrich Nietzsche's thoughts on nobility and master morality and uses them to guide men through an "upside-down" modern world, avoid the trap of hateful ressentiment, and overcome adversity through creativity. In Donovan's hands, Nietzsche's words are rasps and chisels to help men refine a strength-based ethos, revealing their highest and noblest selves to become more complete men. And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast - so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.

Gates of Fire puts you at the side of valiant Spartan warriors in 480 BC for the bloody, climactic battle at Thermopylae. There, a few hundred of Sparta’s finest sacrificed their lives to hold back the invading Persian millions. The time they bought enabled the Greeks to rally - saving, according to ancient historian Herodotus, “Western democracy and freedom from perishing in the cradle.” How did the Spartans accomplish this superhuman feat? This is what the King of Persia hopes to learn from the sole Spartan survivor.

Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forbears? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology?

Primal Endurance shakes up the status quo and challenges the overly stressful, ineffective conventional approach to endurance training. While marathons and triathlons are wildly popular and bring much gratification and camaraderie to the participants, the majority of athletes are too slow, continually tired, and carry too much body fat respective to the time they devote to training. The prevailing "chronic cardio" approach promotes carbohydrate dependency, overly stressful lifestyle patterns, and ultimately burnout.

A motivating advertisement
The book was motivating for the first three quarters. Sprinkled throughout was advertisement. Towards the end the author discusses making obstacle course reading an Olympic sport, and is very convincing in doing so. however the advertisement portion was tedious at times.

Would you consider the audio edition of Spartan Fit! to be better than the print version?
It's great to hear Joe tell the story himself but I am going to buy the print edition as well.
What other book might you compare Spartan Fit! to and why?
Spartan Up, Joe's first book was the Best!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Love his philosophy.

Aroo!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Depends. If they are a Spartan Racer I would, but for a coach potato I might recommend Joe's previous book Spartan Up! first.
What did you like best about this story?
Well I got my triple Trifecta this year and raced in 10 events. I am 9th in the 60-64 age group so lets just say I am into the whole zeitgeist of the Spartan approach. This book provides good insight into what it takes to adopt this lifestyle and its benefits. Anyone can run a Spartan Race and you owe it to yourself to at least try one and find out what you are made of.
Which scene was your favorite?
I enjoyed Joe's explanation of the Agoge and the history behind it. Never knew that and it made me want to read The Road to Sparta by Dean Karnaze
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I had heard the story of the disabled runner second hand. I particpated in an event with her in Penn. It was mind boggling to me to hear the story of what really happened to her. For this reason people should read this book, you will complain less about your own life.
Any additional comments?
American needs to get fit. Not just for the health benefits for our collective mental sanity.

This book, along with Spartan Up!, are truly inspirational and life changing. I have read them both twice in one day. Each time learning more and trying to soak of the wealth of knowledge they provide. If you're looking for a book that offers real life advice as well as a program to get you into the best shape of your life while having loads of fun, this is it.
