Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Living with a SEAL by Jesse Itzler. Recommended by 7 sources.
“Jesse Itzler delivers a brisk, anecdote-packed memoir about putting his life through a month of extreme fitness. The tone is conversational and often self-deprecating, built to entertain and to shove complacency aside rather than to teach methodical training. The book’s useful moments are behavioral: permission to experiment, habit disruption, and one-person anecdotes that model audacity. Its main limitation is repetition and a lack of concrete, repeatable workout plans—readers seeking technical guidance will find it lightweight and occasionally self-congratulatory.”
