Level Up Your Life: How to Unlock Adventure and Happiness by Becoming the Hero of Your Own Story by Steve Kamb

5.0

I loved this! It's everything Nerd Fitness has been teaching for years, condensed and re-imagined and then expanded again. The actionable parts in particular were my favorite -- where I got to set the book down and go make my own character, or plan my own Level 50. While, like most self-help books, it's aimed towards adults and has some aspects that are difficult to act on as a minor or student, it gives me big plans for the future and a lot of excitement for the now in regards to the things I can currently do. My only "complaint" would be that I found the success stories awkwardly placed, and they sometimes disrupted the flow of the chapter, but I can't think of a solution because I realize they needed to be 2-page spreads.

Overall, great book! Re-imagines and replaces a lot of conventional workout and life improvement wisdom with it's own nerdy and scientifically-backed advice. A great addition to the shelf of anyone looking to, well, level up their life!
