Buy DDP Yoga!
Maybe I misunderstood the point of this book when I bought it, but it's kind of a fitness book/advertisment for DDP yoga. Complete with meal plans, DDP yoga success stories, how to do the different yoga poses, etc. I kinda feel mislead!

OWN IT.
Much like DDP Yoga ain't your mama's yoga, Positively Unstoppable: The Art of Owning It by Diamond Dallas Page ain't your average self help book.When WCW superstar and WWE Hall of Famer DDP developed his DDPY program, he had the selfish motivation of healing his own injuries to return to the squared circle. Since then, this system has gone on to change thousands of lives, including Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Scott Hall, Chris Jericho. And my own.In September of 2017, I was the heaviest I'd ever been, 297 pounds. Depressed, fat, and out of shape, but I knew I had to change something. Thankfully, I have an older brother who still looks out for me, and one day a package with the DDPY DVDs showed up. I recently told him that since I hated being the fat guy who could only walk on the treadmill at the gym back then, there would have been no chance to get my fat ass into a yoga studio.But DDPY gave me a chance to earn my fitness back, in private, with a coach in DDP who is hugely encouraging in making your workout your own, and providing examples of how to adapt the exercises to suit your current situation. I soon found myself wanting to make the time to fit it in 5 days a week or more, and lost 38 pounds in the first 30 days. Starting at a time when I couldn't complete 5 consecutive pushups.I ended up losing 90 pounds in 9 months, and got as low as 198 pounds, though my healthy weight seems to have settled around 205-208. I usually hit 500 pushups and 100 pullups a day, and I just ran 6.5 miles 2 days ago. There's no way I would be where I am physically if it wasn't for DDP Yoga. Thank you Diamond Dallas Page, you changed my life, and you're changing the world brother!

A must read for everyone!
For anyone looking for that roadmap to get you back on track with life, look no further than here. DDP uses stories from his life to illustrate how the impossible can become possible. This was all because he had a vision and most importantly, he put in the work. OWN THE BOOK THAT WILL HELP YOU OWN YOUR LIFE!

Positively Unstoppable: The Art of Owning It Review from a YRG/DDPY Original
Dallas is a friend, brother and a hero to me. This book is beyond amazing it's Positively Unstoppable in every way. It embodies everything the program and Dallas are all about. I read this book straight through, and for me, it's my favorite book I've read. I've been in DDPY coming up on nine years in April it saved my life along with my faith from being halfway through death's door. I've lost 260 pounds and am in the best health of my life. I highly recommend people read this book and the program.

DDP is the man!!!
I absolutely fell in love with DDP a month ago when I learned about him and his yoga and program. I knew about him in the wrestling world. I watched his documentary, bought his dvd’s, subscribed to his app and bought the book which I read in six hours. I just couldn’t put it down.No one has ever motivated me to take my health seriously like him. He is just pulls you in and makes you feel like your the only person he’s talking to. He has a innate ability to push and motivate you.I can’t wait to see my results in a year. Thank you DDP for changing so many lives and to do what you do.

Page believes in You!
Although I follow Page and do DDPY and am familiar with much in this book, I remember it was all New to me once, and that it will be new to many others, so this is a great package that Includes DDP's amazing motivation and outlook on life, and the building blocks for the ddpy program. It's as if the book was written personally to the reader. It's easy to keep reading. Page is a wonderful dude. I personally bought four. One for my collection, and three more as gifts and for others to borrow. Everyone should know the mentality this book describes. And then it's up to you to Own It! What's it? Your life, the book, whatever you want, if you have confidence and work hard. Much love!

Good for Those Needing to Change, Great for Those Already Changing
It costs a bit more than I would pay for an ebook, but I got it at 10pm last night and I'm still reading it at 7am. I'm a bit of a slow reader, but feel confident at the 50% mark that this is an important book to read. It's not just the author (DDP) telling us what we should do, but more of how to do it and the thoughts we need to make it happen. It's not thinking of what we want, it's about making it happen and telling ourselves we can do it.I didn't give it five stars for some nitpicking reasons. Likely makes for a great book, but not so great for an ebook. Don't get me wrong, it's still good to own. There's also a couple of other little things, but being able to look past both of those will still make for a good read. If those issues were addressed, I'd likely give this five stars.

Inspiring
So many people have changed their lives thanks to DDPY and gaining the correct mindset.This book has made me own up to something I have known in the back of my mind but not admitted to myself, that I am a very negative person. Reading Stacey Morris talk about how she had low self esteem made me own up to myself that I have the same issue. It was also a major kick in the pants to hear about Jared and how one of his goals when he started was to gain enough strength in his arms to not need to rest while washing his hair. I am nowhere near that bad but my mindset and negativity towards everything means I might as well be. After reading this book I feel more hopeful and will use the lessons inside to keep on the right track and live at 90% more of the time as I'm sick to death of being in the 10%

Truly unstopable
62 years young, and still got the BANG!!! I have been a huge DDP fan since I saw his first match, i though he was a great performer. As much Sting was known as the franchise of WCW, DDP has always been the workhorse of. As much as I though he was awesome performer even I never thought he would go on to achieve everything he has gone on to achieve.I really thought that me being such a big fan, who has already heard Dallas' amazing life and career story before, I would not enjoy it this time round. WRONG!!! I got goosebumps reading DDP run from manager to champion. Proving all his naysayers wrong again and again.DDP lives his gimmick. I can't even say it better then DDP does. He was taught to become DDP by every event that occurred in his life. This mean is accepts/owns his life experiences. He calibrated the posititives, and learns from the negatives.His message is amazing you can truly achieve anything if you first believe, but secondly (possible more importantly) put in the work, then thirdly not give up.The book is in almost 3 parts, first is the shifting of the people's mindsets, second DDP's life, and lastly food (I did not say diet). There are success stories throughout the book.I am a strong believer in work ethic over ability, possible why I relate DDP so much. I really like the message and formular of the book and DDPY, a success story goes on the inspire others to succeed to inspire.

This book and DDP have helped my wifes anxiety. Im not even exagerrating.
I love DDP, the man is a legend. He lives pure positivity, im doing his ddp yoga program and cant get enough of his vibes. Bought the book for myself, a nice read, more motiviation and somthing to help through the lockdown.My wife has been suffering from serious anxiety issues over the lockdown, for numerous reasons and has been struggling. She asked if she could read the book first and as im busy with work i was finew with that.Shes been reading it each day, and its literally had the effect of bringing her part way out of her anxiety , its brought her to tears at parts reading some of the inspirational words (both about ddp and others) and its put a real positive feeling on the current situation.I feel like a fraud writing this review before ive read the book myself , but i will be reading it as soon as shes done. I do however think that this book is worth every penny and more due to effect its had on my wife and to be frank, that effect is priceless!We love DDP, we do his Yoga, love his storied career and id love his previous book if its ever back in stock.BANG!

Positively Life Changing!
I have been doing the DDPYoga programme (now known as DDPY) for a little over two years! I CANNOT GET ENOUGH of it! It has changed my life for the better. Bye bye chronic and debilitating back pain!It is so much more than a fitness or weight management programe. It is a life coaching programme. It has helped me not only with my physical health but also with my mental health.It is single handedly what got me through the full Government enforced lockdown because of COVID-19! It is what kept me sane throughout.There are workout programmes for all genders, shapes, sizes, ages and mobility situations! From the Rebuild Series (that help people with limited mobility with Bed workouts, progressing to Chair workouts, progressing to Standing workouts with modification) all the way to EXTREME PSYCHO workouts!The DDPYOGA facebook community is the most supportive and helpful community i have come across. The admins work really hard to keep the posts on point and to highlight the support and the help from all to all of its members. The instructors are all soooo approachable and real! It doesn’t feel like your typical celebrity fitness programme. Dallas himself takes time out from his day to ring members and see how they’re doing. You will get out just as much or more than what you put into it.I cant get enough of listening to Diamond Dallas Page’s stories and teachings. And this book has offered me so much more than i expected. I thought i’d heard it all, but there is so much more in Dallas to give. And this book gives in spades!If you haven’t got the DVDs or are not a DDPYOGA app subscriber, this book sets you up to give the programme a try. It has Dallas’ personals tories and also success stories of those that have gone through and succeeded in the programme. It also talks about the programme and how it works, both exercises and meal plans (and even recipes!!) and even goes into the SMACKDOWN goal setting tool.It is entertaining, inspiring and motivational all in one.I cant recommend this book or the programme enough!Go on! Give it a try! Be #PositivelyUnstoppable!

Highly recommend
One of the best books I have ever read. In this book you will learn about DDP's up's and downs in pro wrestling, his battles in.establishing his own fitness business and his incredible worth ethic. You will also learn about how DDPY has helped transform so many lives. But the best thing about the book is that it will teach you why you should never give up on your dreams. This book is must for anyone needing motivation and inspiration.
