Survival of the Fittest is pure inspiration if you're getting on in years (like me). There's a whole thread about how we are socialised into believing that as we get older we need to slow down physically and ultimately give up hard physical exercise, and how this just doesn't stack up either historically or physiologically.
Like Sol I found that the book made me change my life. It made me realise that I've still got time to do the stuff I want to and that I might be a grey haired owld bloke but that's not going to stop me chucking myself at physical challenges.
