About this title

Synopsis

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.

In Part One - The Phoenix:

…You'll go from the birth of Weightlessness in the jungle of Phangan Island, Thailand, in early 2000’s, where Tom spent months leaping in and out of holes and sprinting through the forest with weights attached to ankles and torso, to the launch of one of Shanghai’s most premium, boutique personal training studios - Enso Temple - a decade later. 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.

In Part Two - Enso Temple:

…You'll be a fly on the wall through real client transformations, where you’ll learn:

A robust framework for nutrition that empowers you to detox, burn fat, build muscle, and improve focus and global performance without counting calories
How to incorporate intermittent fasting for improved health and performance
How to lose 10 pounds in a month
How to put on 20 pounds of lean muscle in six weeks and dramatically increase strength
How an ex-banker lost 60 pounds in two months and regained the mobility of his youth… and how you too can access elite flexibility through dynamic stretching
How to rehab chronic pains by implementing an old-school bodybuilding / strength training technique
How to increase resilience and adapt to any stressor by putting real skin in the game

In Part Three - The Unfettered Mind:

…You’ll learn:

From Shaolin warrior monks to cultivate internal energy through qigong meditation
How to transcend the sheltered world of meditation training and apply the awareness, focus, and nonattachment of high level practitioners as easily in a busy subway as in serene nature
How to transcend personal bias, tap your infinite potential, and trigger mindful awareness with an unorthodox device of chance

And In Part Four - Weightlessness:

You’ll integrate perspective, body, and mind through minimalistic and progressive mind-body prescriptions
You’ll receive the illustrated Weightlessness Manifesto (which you can also receive FREE from my website, link in author bio below) - an awesome reference with core filters and essential mind-body practices
You’ll experience a day in the life of a weightless person, in all his / her pain and glory

Are YOU weightless?
