This book is a fantastic read, and extremely helpful in creating the kind of life I think we all want to live." -Tyrone Wellscritically acclaimed singer songwriter "In all my years of playing and coaching in the NFL, I have never seen a better playbook for balancing and growing your life.

I want the OolaLife!" -Dr. DelRae MesserCEO of DrDelRaeDetox.com, Ms. Fitness Minnesota "Admittedly, I've never gotten all the way through a self-help book. They always feel too pompous and preachy. After finishing Oola, I still don't feel like I've read a self-help book. Oola reads more like a collection of kick-ass anecdotes and sincere stories that just happen to have meaningful messages. These two guys-the OolaSeeker and the OolaGuru- aren't telling their stories for selfish reasons. They truly want you to live the OolaLife. Oola seems more like the script of a classic 'buddy road-trip' movie than a self-help book. Here, though, is maybe all you really need to know: In one single chapter, you'll get the story of the OolaGuru's matching purple shorts/tanktop outfit right next to the OolaSeeker's tale of the time the cops pulled him out of the car while he was wearing nothing but zebra-striped, bikini-cut undies." -Steve LangeAward-winning columnist, magazine editor, writer
