There are 3 key learnings:
1. Discipline is everything; consistency arises from it - if you want to do anything which is mentioned in this book, and you want it to impact you positively, you need to have more than will power
2. Small steps every day - there are many solutions given, some will work for you only if you don't set ambitious goals
3. Peace of mind is everything - it comes from movement and good diet. Period. The book mentions numerous examples where directly or indirectly you will find this though reiterated.

P.S: Breath ! We barely remember to be in the moment and focus on our breath. This is core.

While the points made are all good, he could have been a little more succinct.
