The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss
I had been going with the ow for years. Wishing for an
outcome and waiting to see if it would come. I was the limp, powerless ego I detest in other

"But somehow, as the school nerd who always got picked last for everything, I had allowed
`not being good at sports' or `not being fit' to enter what I considered to be inherent attributes of
myself. The net result is that I was left with an understanding of myself as an incomplete
person. And though I had (perhaps) overcompensated for that incompleteness by kicking ass in
every other way I could, I was still carrying this powerlessness around with me and it was very
slowly and subtly gnawing away at me from the inside.
"So, while it's true that I wouldn't have looked great in the fancy clothes, the seemingly
super cial catalyst that drove me to nally do something wasn't at all super cial. It actually
pulled out a deep root that had been, I think, driving an important part of me for basically my
entire life.
