THINK FIT

"It is to be prayed that the mind be sound in a sound body. Ask for a brave soul that lacks the fear of death, which places the length of life last among nature’s blessings, which is able to bear whatever kind of sufferings, does not know anger, lusts for nothing and believes the hardships and savage labors of Hercules better than the satisfactions, feasts, and feather bed of an Eastern king."

Juvenal, Satire X

OVERVIEW OF THIS TOPIC

The written word, sometimes words written hundreds or even thousands of years ago, is a critical resource for building a healthy lifestyle. The mental approach to sport, exercise and lifestyle is critical.

So we've included book lists and reviews of those volumes that we've felt have helped with staying healthy in mind and body. In particular the spiritual aspect of life - of ALL religions - is catered for in this Main Topic. If you've come across a particular written or Web resource that you would like us to include, do please comment on the blog, or send an email with the reference or link to ........

P.S. The picture is from a great site called Peak Performance Sports, all about sports psychology and mental toughness. The older you get, the tougher you need to get - mentally as well as physically. Check out the link to these folks on the right of this page.
