I have followed John Berardi for a large part of my career. I have been certified through Precision Nutrition at level 1 and 2. I have also had the opportunity to learn in more personal settings from leadership in PN, as well as become a teaching assistant to apply the education these leaders prioritize to us. This along with as many articles and talks that JB as I can keep up with. With this context, it is a given that his book would be received very well for someone in my perspective.
John delivered even more than I could expect in this book. I was surprised at how much applicable content could fit in 300 pages. I enjoy the way he presented the book even down to the font, color, and layout changes to further emphasize key takeaways for each chapter. It's a true reflection of how coaching is most effective in a sense, to reflect and summarize in order to check for understanding. It is a great way to keep attention going for each subject while ensuring each reader is taking the big rocks away. The content of each chapter effectively leads the reader through the big picture of how to navigate a successful and purposeful career (and life).
Starting with a current picture of the health and fitness industry's current opportunities to get a zoomed out look, followed by internal work of developing a genuine purpose and identifying unique abilities (zooming in). Only after this does JB lead the reader through professional insight into who our clients are and how to identify needs/wants, how to approach coaching in a way that is productive to facilitating change for these clients, and how to manage a business in an efficient manner. Many coaches come into the field with a lot of education within the sciences (I know I did) but very little within making this knowledge truly valuable for clients and for our business. He outlines very practical considerations for these subjects that can and should be applied regardless of the population you choose to serve in your change making path.
Bottomline, John Berardi is one of the best leaders in this industry. He is practical in his approach due to the fact that we are working with people in the end. His lessons are very valuable to anyone who is working to building their career in health and fitness or someone like myself who has been in this industry for many years. I utilized every activity recommended to its full extent, the results and responses gained were valuable beyond measure. This book will become a consistent go-to reference for myself. As a mentor, this has already made one of the first books that comes to mind to recommend to a young coach in search of professional guidance/insight. As a professional in the industry of any experience level or identity, this book will be of great value to you. I could go on much longer about this book, so I hope this helps.

business coaches fear this book!
I’m just getting into this book. It wanted to stop and write a first impression review.First off Mr. Berardi has been a huge influencer of mine for years now. His nutrition program is incredibly well done and thought out and this book is following in the same quality.First of all it’s beautiful. Just flip through the pages and you will find golden nuggets of information.Within the first chapters I found details I wanted to write down, and I have started some discussions based on some of these ideas.Yesterday I added the audio version as well because I enjoy getting good information through multiple avenues and this book definitely is one that is going to warrant that.I’ll add more as I complete the book.———————————————————————Update:Now that I have completed the book, I wanted to add to my review.What this book is not:This book is not going to provide the information you need as far as education on becoming a health coach or personal trainer. For that you need to go get some education, and this book will actually provide some great insight and recommendations on where you might want to start or fill the gaps you may have.This book is a roadmap of sorts. It fills in the gigantic gap that has caused so many health and fitness coaches to fail I. Their careers. Not because they lacked passion or knowledge, but because they just did not know how to build their business.This book is like a Development course for anyone who wants to start or is in the health and fitness world.It includes worksheets, guidance, insights from people that have been successful, and may open your eyes to different fields and paths you can take.Mint everyone has to be a coach. There are a multitude of ways that you can help change the course of the quality of life for others.I now have two copies of the book as well as the audio version.You may be tempted to keep this book a secret once you read it because it will give you an edge over the competition. However, One thing the book will leave you with is the realization that you are not working in a field of limitations. Find your path, develop yourself, your skills, and your knowledge, and market yourself in a positive and successful way. There are thousands of people out there that need you.It would be a challenge to find a better investment
