Dave Draper is a treasure. This is a book of essays Dave wrote over a period of years. There's a little something here for everyone. If you're an old iron-head like me, you can still learn a few things about lifting AND LIVING. If you're a youngster, male or female, there's inspiration and knowledge aplenty. This man has lived a long, interesting life, took plenty of hits, and came out as a fine human being. He shares his wisdom here humbly with an energetic prose, spiced with humor. I come back to this book again and again to give me strength and courage to curl my arthritic fingers around a cold bar in the early morning, thankful that I'm still alive and able to do it. As Dave wrote in front of my book, "We press on..."

Again, perfect training companion. Who and what will follow me now in the fields of iron? Book 1 again, of course! I just find Draper's musings endlessly amusing, and bottomless source of inspiration.

SECOND TIME THROUGH: Still profit. Big time.

Fantastic book, very motivational! Especially if you realize how the author has been to Hell and back!

Was hoping for more exercise psychology but it's just a bunch of random blog posts. It's decent writing but repetitive

Good. I enjoy his thoughtful take on the cult of physical fitness.
