Short summary

Many people suffer from unhealthy alcohol use in our society, which is fast becoming an issue. Alcohol is easy to get and has now become affordable even for low-income earners. The problem many people face is not knowing how to beat addiction or avoid things that can harm them in the future. This is why almost anyone can consume as much booze as possible. In this tidbit, the effects of addiction to alcohol, food, or any other substances are discussed. Rich Roll is a vegan ultra-endurance athlete, full-time nutrition and plant-based dietary advocate, and prominent public speaker. This read highlights all the steps he took to become a better person after being an alcoholic for many years. “When the mind is controlled and spirit aligned with purpose, the body is capable of so much more than we realize.” ~ Rich Roll

first key point

Many factors negatively impact our lives, and we need to identify them to grow

Listen the first key point
00:00
00:00
Addiction is a global issue that calls for immediate action. It requires a collective effort to end it, but unfortunately, it seems like we are not doing enough. Too many things have conditioned us to make it very difficult to ignore; processed foods with additives dominate every supermarket, and the sale of carbonated drinks is at an all-time high. Alcohol is easily accessible to almost everyone, and more people consume cigarettes every day. All these things can have a huge side effect on us in the future if we don't put a stop to it now.

Battling addiction is not an easy task, especially for those who have no idea how to. It's easy to suffer relapses that make us want to give up, but we mustn't. We only have to look forward to better days ahead and remain resolute in our quest to live healthier lives.

In this bite-sized summary, we'll see how the author, Rich Roll, battled alcohol addiction and moved from being overweight to being one of the fittest athletes in the world. Of course, his journey wasn't devoid of setbacks and pain, but his resolve to change for good helped him pull through.
It's never too late to achieve our goals once we set our heart to them.
Temptations and setbacks will always occur, but we can break any addiction once we are committed, as we'll see in the subsequent chapters.
second key point

Our lives are generally defined by a few decisive moments — choices that make a huge difference

We all need a specific moment when we realize that our lives have to change. Moments like these should not be wasted; they should be revered and grasped at all costs because they don’t come around frequently, if at all. Even if we’ve just had one intense experience, we’ve been fortunate because if we blink or turn away for even a second, the door doesn’t just shut; it disappears. Rich Roll’s defining life moment was the period when he’d been given a chance to live a better life. He had labored earlier in his home after climbing only seven steps and knew his body form and size were driving him down the wrong path. Looking in the mirror one night prompted him to change his life. He instinctively knew then he had to take action.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
