Book Overview
If someone told you the path to unburdening body and mind requires adding more weight, would you listen?
For those in the arena - the risk takers, the artists, the entrepreneurs, the fighters, and mind-body cultivators - realizing one's ambition rarely comes down to knowledge, capital, and natural talent alone, but to the mind-body machinery they bring to every opportunity, obstacle, and silent effort.
...to the grit and sensitivity they've cultivated, empowering them to weather storms of uncertainty yet still cherish beautifully fleeting moments along the way.
In Pursuit of Weightlessness is a journey through the trenches of mind-body fitness. Mind-body performance coach Tom Fazio explores principles of peace, power, and enlightenment under the iron fists of Shaolin monks, high on hallucinogenic mushrooms, amid unexpected homelessness, and through random dice-dictated experiments. Along the way you'll discover the most effective techniques to burn fat, build muscle, bulletproof the body, overcome personal challenges, and liberate your mind from all that holds you back.
This is not a mere physical training manual or a simple guide to meditation and 'inner peace.' This is a gritty, pragmatic prescription for living with passion. The reader will learn exactly what's required to transform the body, unburden the mind, and become weightless.

With anecdotes and musings on self-worth, mental toughness, and creative expression along the way, The Phoenix will prepare you mentally for YOUR journey ahead.
