Part Tony Robbins, part Mehmet Oz, here is fitness guru and creator of P90X Tony Horton’s wake-up call for readers—a motivational and practical guide to creating a better life and a healthier body.

One of America’s best-known and most-loved fitness gurus, "master of motivation" Tony Horton shares his philosophy that will help you live your best life. In his first non-workout book, he offers 11 Rules that provide a clear path and purpose for achieving life goals and obtaining optimal health.

Written with his trademark irreverence, candor, and take-no-prisoners approach, The Big Picture shows you how your physical health is intricately linked to your mental, financial, and family health, and overall happiness and contentment—and how the same skills and principles that work in the gym work in every area of life. Tony shares stories of the hard-won battles he’s faced—many of the same life challenges experienced by his fans—from childhood bullies and problems at school, to financial troubles and being overweight.

Enlightening and practical, The Big Picture can help you how to slim down, feel good, and live better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for any Tony Horton fan (even if you have never heard of him)!
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016

I really enjoyed this book, but to be honest, I was already a huge Tony Horton fan. This book was very motivating for me and when life got in the way and my workouts took a back seat, reading this book helped me refocus my mind set and get me back on track to achieving the goals I had set for myself and tweaking or re-establishing new ones. This book is not just about health and fitness, but is written to assist in all aspects of your life. There are some very interesting insights into Tony’s own life and how his philosophies relate to his own success. I think this makes it easier to relate than some self-help / motivational books out there. Having previously completed P90X I recognized many of the one-liners that I hear regularly during the workouts, it was interesting to have many of these one-liners placed in perspective and to hear some of the origins behind Tony’s mindset. The passion and devotion he brings to the table is to be admired, if everybody attacked there lives with the same amount of passion we would have many more successful people. I still have a long way to get to my goals, but whenever I need a pick-me-up and a little extra motivation, I know that I can re-read this book and it will help me get right back on track. Overall I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing some additional motivation to not only get fit and healthy but to also provide some inspiration to achieve your goals and be successful in life in general.

Nice easy read, lots of fun and tony keeps the mood light and energetic. Not the most well written book, but I am not going to get hung up on trivials...just read it, enjoy it for what it is and take any advice and wisdom you can...we all can use a a bit more of each. Stories of personal accomplishments are touching and impressive. We all have it in us to do great things...decide, commit, succeed. I'm biased, of course, P90X and Beachbody (cheap plug) have been a part of my fitness regime for over a year now. Lots of physical improvements but the mental improvements are the most significant. Nothing like an awesome self esteem to push you through any challenge life can, and will, toss your way.
Keep up the good work and never stop motivating people to good things.
Cheers

4.0 out of 5 stars A learning experience

This book is a great, easy read for those who are looking for some ideas to help guide them in their search of becoming a better, fitter person. Tony lays out simple ideas to follow that make sense, aren't too philosophical, and can be put into action by anyone.

If you are a person who believes that fitness and being healthy aren't a priority than this book will be a waste of your time. Tony is in the fitness business and his ideas for becoming a better, more successful person are based around living a healthy lifestyle.

If you are too lazy to want to change your life or would rather complain about how you look or feel than do something about you won't get much from this book. However, if you value your health and want to better your life and the lives of those around you, this book has great insight into how you can use practical ideas and implement them into your everyday thinking.

Great advice Tony. Keep doing your thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, even more respect for Tony after this
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2014

My life and fitness changed with Tony's P90X. Outstanding workout.

But I was one of the people who would (and probably still will) snarkily quote his jokes back at him during the video. Sometimes as a fitness instructor I find him pretty annoying, but he just creates such amazing workouts that I get past it (with a little muttering.)

This book really changed the way I view Tony. Great stuff cover to cover. It's quick read that you can immediately use to impact your day-to-day life. It was great to see that he's a lot more than the super animated trainer. He's smart, deliberate and passionate.

It doesn't have to just be for fitness buffs either. Fitness tends to be the backdrop for a fair amount of his examples, but this is much more than a fitness book. I'll re-read this one soon. Thank you Tony!

I started P90X well over a decade ago and worked through all of the sequels. I'm a Tony fan and after months of hearing the same cheesy jokes over and over again still never got tired of them. All of that said, this book was more than I expected. It was easy to read and yet packed with some great insights that expand beyond fitness. Would definitely recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tony
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2022

Tony is the perfect mix of fitness, health, fun, determination and knowledge. I have done three of his workout programs over the past decade and he is the only trainer that I'll really listen to during the workouts. I found myself searching for quotes from the workout series and never considered reading his books. I believe things happen for a reason and this happened to be the best time in my life to read and absorb this book. Tony dives into solutions to problems that most people don't realize they have. Because of Tony's approach to fitness and health, he reached me like nobody else has (first through his workouts). To be able to hear these laws from the man himself in a book vs an hour sweat session fulfills me. Tony gets it and this book will help you get it, too. I suggest getting a notebook and taking notes throughout the chapters to thoroughly contemplate the message that he is trying to convey. Thank you, Tony!

I think he shares some great insights into what you need to hear and wish I heard some of this in my youth - it just great encouragment and a breakdown to walk out your goals with more confidence.

This book has given me a new and different appreciation for Mr. Horton and I look forward to purchasing some of his workouts to experience his vision as I have already gained from reading and applying what he has written about with success.

Well worth the read for those just entering their journey into health and even business.

I think its great for those well down their path and journey and want to get one nugget to get them to the next level - as there are many in this book.

It was an interesting read but a little repetitive at times. If you have seen his intros on the P90x videos, then you have heard about 70% of this book. All the same, he does a nice job with the motivation.

5.0 out of 5 stars and probably subconsciously treating it like a TV show
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Book finished in 2 days.

When I started P90X there's no way I thought I'd be buying his book. I couldn't abide Tony Horton.

That is until I started actually doing the workouts. I think if you just watch them to get a feel then the only thing you're concentrating on is the spoken words from the TV, and probably subconsciously treating it like a TV show.

But when you're training, your focus shifts to where it's meant to be and Tony then becomes fantastic.
The book is a great addition to P90x and everything in it just clicks and makes sense.

Highly recommend.

Es un libro escrito como si te lo leyera Tony Horton. Si te gusta cómo habla, cómo enseña, cómo transmite,... el libro te gustará. Al ser un libro de "autoayuda", dependerá del estado del lector, con lo que algunos lo encontrarán más o menos útil que otros. Pero, como digo, es 100% Horton: do your best, and forget the rest.
