Nordine Zouareg, the author of "mind over body", who decorated the title of Mr. France, Mr. Europe, Mr. World and Mr. Universe , all in the same year, was an unhealthy child when his family relocated from Algeria to France. His passionate pursuit of body building helped him overcome his fragile system to become an internationally certified Professional Fitness coach at the Miraval Life in Balance Spa in Arizona.

Success of his theories and approach towards life stems from self understanding and self motivation. Spending hours a day in the fitness centre won't really help you unless your mind is prepared and motivated in achieving your aim. This thought is absolutely true in all respects and Nordine Zouareg thought this way. "Mind Over Body: The Key to Lasting Weight Loss is All in Your Head", is an outcome of peregrination to find the sources of motivation. It is all about identifying oneself and viewing oneself-if seen through the eyes of Nordine Zouareg

This book essentially deals with researching the requirements of the human mind. If an individual views himself or herself as overweight or unappealing in appearance, and needs to seek the assistance of a fitness centre, their objective will never be fulfilled as the issue resides in the mind and not in the body. To gear oneself up to achieve an objective requires identifying the self and motivating the self. Nordine Zouareg eloquently describes the strong bond between the subconscious and conscious human mind. The unconscious mind, being so delicate will ponder between alternatives, which is why sheer command over the self has to be attained through practice and concentration.

The author has clearly depicted the success of his clients, who have stupendously demonstrated a motivated lifestyle. Nordine says that they get time to engage themselves in the fitness centre, and they find time in enjoying the life with their near and dear ones. It is simply because, they identified, what they want to be, and what they don't want to be. They worked for that, moreover, they understood themselves, and it was absolute self which helped them in maintaining their fitness, and assisted them in enjoying their life.
