Mastering the Zone
1997 • rrp $29.95 • Paperback • ISBN:0060929030
Soon after the release of Enter the Zone Dr Sears realised he was going to need to simplify the way he presented his ideas, Mastering the Zone was his first attempt.
My verdict
While it was a big improvement on Enter the Zone, there are better Zone books available now.
Good features
- Quite thorough instructional information.
Not so good features
- Very little on fish oil supplementation.
- Out of date on a few matters.1
