Bill Phillips

New York Times bestselling author, magazine publisher, documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur, inventor, self-made multimillionaire, motivator: Bill Phillips has thus far proved unstoppable. Now, he has his sights set on scaling what he calls the “Mt. Everest of health and fitness goals”: Transform America from worst to first and make it the healthiest country in the world within 10 years. Described recently by Outside magazine as “the most successful fitness author of all time,” Phillips’ runaway bestseller Body-for-LIFE has sold in excess of 4 million copies. The 12-week guide to achieving mental and physical strength has topped the charts in 11 different countries—including the U.S., England, Japan, Australia, Greece and Finland—and was, in 2004, named among the Top 15 bestselling books of the past decade by USA Today.
