Sadly there's not enough of the inspirational about this book and even the realistic visuals end up being simply unflattering. Translating this retired athlete's phenomenal and undeniable motivation into the basis of a start-up health plan results in an insubstantial approach. Part of the problem here stems from forcing an American self-help theme onto a British day-time TV format and allocating a journalist to write what in the end amounts to an extended magazine article.
Instead of for example telling us that "yoga is very calming" which we all know, it would have been far more interesting to learn how the only woman in history to have held all four gold medals concurrently interprets, and uses, a totally different physical discipline. While the reader is urged Be Your Best, Gunnell has not been given the opportunity to provide anywhere near her best. --Lorna V
