Fit Soul: Tools, Tactics & Habits for Optimizing Spiritual Fitness

by Ben Greenfield

Do you sometimes feel that no matter how much wealth you accumulate, toys you own, friendships you make or physical and mental mountains you conquer, you’re still at the end of the day unfulfilled – with a gnawing deep down inside that something is “still missing” or that you’re meant for something greater than what you’re doing right now? You’re not alone. That loss of direction, purpose and deep, fulfilling meaning is absent in the lives of some of the most successful or fit people you’ll ever meet.

Within the pages of this book – written in a practical, easy-to-understand way with tips, tricks, strategies and solutions that will be simple to implement within your own life – you’ll discover everything you need to know to care for your soul, attain true spiritual fitness, discover union with God and find the happiness you have always craved for and deserve.

About the author

Ben Greenfield spent most of his childhood years with his nose in a book. President of the chess club, violin player, and a complete nerd in school, he especially loved writing fantasy fiction.

After graduating high school at fifteen and university at the age of twenty, Ben’s life took a turn as he delved into another passion: fitness. He was soon named as America’s top personal trainer, one of the world’s top 100 most influential people in health and fitness, and also penned the New York Times bestseller Beyond Training, along with 13 other books.

After years of success in the health and fitness industry, Ben has returned to his love of fantasy. The Forest, the first in his new fantasy series, takes its inspiration from Ben’s own twin sons, combined with his deep knowledge of survival, wilderness, adventure, intrigue, health, suspense and a true hero’s journey.

Ben resides in Spokane, Washington with his wife, Jessa, and twin boys, River and Terran, where he can be found caring for his goats, chickens and organic vegetable garden, playing the ukulele and penning his next fantasy tale.

On the one hand, It bothered me that the book has been written from an extreme Christian perspective.
On the other hand, the content itself of the book is very valuable. So I tried to red the book while omitting the religious references.
For people who want to question themselves, this is a Wonderful book with very good insights.
One can Read the contents & just omit the religious perspective. Spirituality is not only grounded in religion - it is in our souls !

Enjoyed the actionable steps provided to work towards improving yourself. Definitely a book that you’ll get more out of by implementing what’s written.

[Anthony D’Apolito III · Rating 3 out of 5]

Such intentionality behind this book. Ben does a great job of sourcing many Scripture verses, specific books, and specific people in order to bring this book into great detail and evidence backing such detail.

This book is all about the most important thing in this life, it’s why we were given this life: God. Everything goes back to that. But with that being said, I enioyed Ben’s interweaving of psychology, biology, neurology, and more, all to point to the spirtual part of our life.

Thanks Ben. And for the many resources provided.

A decent book that has some solid recommendations. I would have given it a higher rating but the Kindle version is horrible. The inconsistent font usage and lack of chapter breaks was very frustrating.

[Eliot]

Thoughtful guide for integrating Gods words and Christian philosophies into one’s daily life.

Listened to the first two chapters. Not my thing. I am certainly interesting in presence but this is too rooted in Christianity only for my interest.

Really good read! I love how everything was Biblically-based and also taught health and fitness wisdom. I highly recommend!

Brings up good thoughts and if anyone is at least a little able to implement these things into their lives, all the better...
