Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

The book is probably the best ever motivational book written in order to get any couch potato up and running, barefoot! It is a classical runners book from a runner's prospective. I found the book extremely well researched which was very surprising as it has a chapter on the evolution of man and the role of running in the life of our forefathers. The author has managed to keep my interest alive throughout the book with interesting insights into the lives of the characters and the science of running, debunking popular concepts like the role of expensive running shoes and the under hand tactics of the big corporations like Nike. The end was very well put together. I would recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in sports.
