This is a book that I actually could not put down till I finished it. The story-telling style through which Blanchard presented his ideas was exciting. The book is a must read for any businessman/businesswoman who claims 24/7 business commitments prevent him/her from looking after health and ‘Tone’, as the book describes it, by doing little exercise and having healthy meals.

I believe Blanchard in this book has proved through logic, facts, and benefits what it pays back to start looking after one’s health and exercising. From personal to corporate level, how good ‘Tone’ can have a domino effect on other stress moderators and eventually on the job performance. Healthy employees are better for the organization as they are more productive.

I like how the book shows the strong relationship between well-being and the bottom line of a business. Besides, the book makes it clear to readers that commitment to one’s resolution is vital to achieve goals and equally important is the family’s, colleagues’, and friends’ support to make change happens.
