The Spartan Way: Eat Better. Train Better. Think Better. Be Better.
$0.00
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.

It’s All There
I’d recommend this book to anyone who believes she has room to improve in any way. It’s enjoyable, informative and inspiring if you let it in and if you go there. The anecdotes are great, even if sometimes a bit too brief and cavalierly told: there’s no word wasting here. This is a quick read that’s worth your time, even if just as a set of reminders of things you think you already know. Are you doing them?

Joe walks the talk!
If you want to commit to change your life and overcome real life obstacles then this is your book. Joe sets out the principles for his own success that drive him in his business and personal life in easy to follow chapters that deliver results physically, mentally, in business, and on the race course! Joe uses the metaphor of Spartan racing to outline how to achieve real life results based on his personal life and his daily routine pulling also from the techniques and tools from other competitive athletes and peak performers. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to perform better – and to get out of complacency – in whatever is holding them back from achieving their goals. I’m a believer! Thanks Joe! – Craig Cooper.

It just flows…
I’m an avid reader and consumer of learning. Books that flow – meaning they are easy on your brain, and they leave you w/ implementable advice – are a pleasure to read. This book is one of those. It reads like Joe De Sena talks. The Spartan Way principles are timeless principles that Joe has adapted to his modern day Spartan way of life. As a lifelong athlete and Spartan participant, this book was exactly what I hoped it’d be. Carry on finding your True North!

Der Gründer der mittlerweile weltbekannten Hindernislaufszene schreibt ein Buch bzw. mittlerweile mehrere Bücher, die, wie er immer wieder bestätigt, Millionen Leute von der Couch holen sollen. Interessante Anekdoten gibt es sicherlich, aber er erfindet weder den Sport neu noch hat er vor ihm bereits tausende Ernährungs – bzw. Lifestyle Tipps gegeben. Das ist bewusst eine etwas kritischere Ansicht da ich, obwohl ich selbst durch meine diversen Spartan Läufe im Jahr einer der Mitfinanzierer dieses Spartan Hypes bin, glaub dass man die Kuh in diesem Fall zu oft melkt. De Sena ist ein Unternehmer und Unternehmer wollen Geld verdienen, keine Frage. Dass das ganze Spartan Universum eine Sportart für eher gut verdienende Menschen ist und die Events sowie das komplette Merchandise drumherum keine Wohltätigkeitsveranstaltung ist, ist hoffentlich auch jedem klar. Fazit: Netter Zeitvertreib für Langeweile, man kann aber auch ohne Spartan und De Sena gesund leben und vor allem benötigt man seine übertriebenen (amerikanisch halt) Lebensweisheiten nicht. Ich habe das Buch selbst bei Amazon erworben und es nicht einmal zu Ende gelesen. Als Toilettenlektüre ist esverkommen daher komme ich hoffentlich nochmal dazu.
