The Spartan Way

Eat Better. Train Better. Think Better. Be Better.

By: Joe De Sena, Jeff Csatari

Narrated by: Christian Rummel

New York Times best-selling author Joe De Sena, founder and CEO of Spartan, the global health and wellness platform, leader in obstacle racing, and executive producer of NBC’s television show Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge, challenges you to live the Spartan way.

Determined to yank 100 million people off their couch cushions to start living instead of being passive observers of life, Joe De Sena has one ultimate goal: to help improve everyone’s physical and emotional health by teaching them the tenets of Spartan living from ancient Greece: simple eating, smart training, mastering resilience, and an all-out commitment to achieving a goal.

Like Spartan training, living the Spartan way requires endurance to reach your finish line, the goal that inspires and drives you to succeed no matter what obstacles are thrown in your path. De Sena believes you can gain that endurance in just 36 days by following the 10 Spartan core virtues, timeless principles to help you embrace adversity and overcome any challenge, and making them a permanent part of your own personal core.

The Spartan core values include:

• Self-awareness - know yourself
• Commitment - be dedicated
• Passion - discover your purpose
• Discipline - practice diligence
• Prioritization - put your house in order
• Grit - push your limits
• Courage - face your fears and your failures
• Optimism - look for the positives
• Integrity - act honestly
• Wholeness - live as a Spartan

De Sena turned this philosophy into a lifestyle - and so can you. With The Spartan Way, you’ll discover your true north, unleash the warrior within, and transform your life to 10 times your maximum potential.

Very thoughtful (and physical) book.

The book had me think about life in an expanded way. (As well , how i exercise in life and in gym)
A great listen for the professional coach in any genre.

LOVED IT

I found a ton of inspiration in this book and it reinforces why I'm pushing to do what I do. This was a great reminder to stay in the arena and continue to kick ass despite the challenges; to embrace the sick and find joy in the accomplishments. I want to be who God created me to be, and will embrace the Spartan principles in order to do it. I loved this book! I'm pushing to complete my trifecta in December, and know it will be epic, and appreciate the kick in the butt reminder to keep striving!

Great Handbook for Attacking Life Differently.

If you're looking for blueprints to see life in a harder, more savage, opportunistic way, this book is great!

excellent motivator

it is filled with tremendous life lessons, goals, and quotes. the accompanying PDF proves to be a great outline.

my only issue with the book is the language. it is brutal at times.

I plan to listen to this book yearly.
