User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Good Resource...
"Elite Forces Manual of Mental and Physical Endurance: How to Reach Your Physical and Mental Peak" was purchased as a gift for my son who is in the Air Force. He has a keen interest in pursuing physical conditioning and well-being, and was satisfied with the instruction rendered by this text.


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Elite Forces Manual of Mental and Physical Endurance: How to Reach Your Physical and Mental Peak
There were some good pointers, though it may not be for everyone. A good reference guide for all of us who are trying to better our physical endurance.


Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - A disappointing book
Overall I was rather disappointed with this book. It wastes several pages on "inspirational" stories, and although it discusses mental aspects such as confidence and goal setting, there isn't particularly anything that you couldn't figure out for yourself. Same with most of the treatment on physical conditioning. Anyone with some background in sports or fitness and halfway decent intelligence could figure out most of if for themselves. It mentions specific fitness requirements for a few elite units, but you could probably get the same info just by going to a recruiter (who would probably have the most up-to-date information anyway). There are a few useful tips on nutrition and survival techniques, as well as a few hand-to-hand combat techniques, but overall I wouldn't rate this book as being worth buying.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Mental, Physical Endurance
This book does excellent job of covering overall the subject comprehensively, with good illustrations and does not bog down into detail, or focus to the point of excessive respectivity. Is seems to me a good phy. ed. starter for any age experienced with reading.


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Average reading
Good for a general idea of special forces training regimen, but doesn't delve deep enough into the actual training. Very little combat training info, good for a general read but definitely not nuts and bolts type stuff I expected.
