Loving your life is the new health, fitness, and weight loss. Unlike health, fitness, and diet practices, the act of loving your life produces superior results that require no experts, fancy buildings, expensive footwear, or a degree in biochemistry. Loving your life is the simple recognition that you no longer have any need for a diet when you understand fitness, you no longer have any need for fitness when you understand health, and you no longer have any need for health when you understand life. Rather than gym time, your life will benefit most by a deeper understanding of why you're here.

Written by the holder of four of the nation's most prestigious fitness certifications, a coach to pro athletes, and owner of an active West Coast health club, the book explains why the author chose to abandon his life's work and close his gym forever. This came from the realization that the issues causing most people to seek health and fitness advice are never resolved with the minutiae of programs, routines, rules, diets, or weight loss, because those issues are internal struggles first. The only lasting resolution is an optimized spirit. The physical issues that people struggle with are only symptoms, not the cause of their dissatisfaction.

A Mild Case of Dead contains stories from years of fitness coaching and owning a health club that reveal the empty promise of time spent in the gym and counting calories. The book invites the listener to examine their own understanding of the human condition called Alive. The concepts called health, fitness, and a correct diet, as they are currently learned, taught, talked about, and practiced, are only distractions from it, and a productized version of satisfaction.
