We Never Die: Secrets of the Afterlife

Product Information

Mat Fraser is undisputedly the fittest man in CrossFit history for winning the CrossFit Games an unprecedented five times. A student of engineering, Fraser optimized his body like a machine, and his absolute dedication to the training program he designed for himself is now legendary. For years, every single decision he made was weighed against the question: "Will this help me win?" If the answer was no, he didn't do it. If it would give him even the slightest edge or advantage, he would—no matter the cost. Fraser became a master of identifying his weaknesses and then seeking out training methods to improve them, and he's idolized in the fitness community for his relentless pursuit of peak performance. It's not hard to see why he achieved so much success—but how is a different question. There's nothing necessarily provocative or tea-spilling to be found, which is pretty cool, as most of the content is focused on providing the reader with technique tutorials, workouts, and surely tasty meal instructions (which are parsed out quite evenly throughout as opposed to being just an appendix).

Hard Work Pays Off: Transform Your Body and Mind with

I would like to start by pointing out that this is not a guide on how to become the Fittest on Earth. So if you are looking to improve your fitness, this is just not the way to do it. From where I see it, this is just a collection of stories from one of the greatest CrossFit athletes, Mat Fraser. For those who know little, inside there are names of the different types of mediums and their style on how they use their gifts. As Matt explains, "We all have our own 'phone line' to communicate with heaven. All we have to do is figure out how to use it." If you don't want to live forever, Mr. Fraser, why did you title this book "We Never Die" and fill it with messages of hope? There's a striking disconnect.

DON’T WAIT TILL YOU’RE DEAD

The real Matt Fraser is just an ordinary twenty-eight-year-old guy…who happens to talk to dead people. Born into a psychic family, Matt carries on the legacy passed down from his late Grandmother Mary by connecting people to their dearly departed loved ones and delivering messages from the other side. His sold-out live group readings, television appearances, and popular private readings have allowed him to bring hope and healing to fans from around the world. His sold-out live events, television appearances, and popular private readings have allowed him to bring healing, hope & laughter to a global audience of fans and followers from all around the world.​ From heartfelt emotional readings to stunning revelations, Matt Fraser has audiences on the edge of their seats with his outrageous personality and unique approach to mediumship. My mother gave me this book to explain her "belief system" as I've been going through a journey of discovering faith for myself. I'll do my best to keep this short, but don't let my two-star rating deter you if you're interested in this book. Coming into this, and already knowing a lot of info about psychic mediums (growing up my mother adored watching shows about them, reading books, etc.), I don't think there was a ton of new info to gain. If you're completely new and want to learn more, this is a pretty decent means of explaining what they are and can "do" per say.

The real appeal of the book, I find, is that it introduces you to the athlete *outside* of competition, whether that's covering what he'd do in the off-season, how he found his way to the sport to start with, and his thoughts on CrossFit at large. Such stories are compelling and interesting from basically any person who darkens the doorstep of a gym, but, clearly, one would want to know what might separate Fraser from the rest, right? I enjoyed this book. I had some takeaways from it. Matt Fraser definitely offered some nuggets from his athletic career. I learned a little bit more about him and his approach to things. He truly is amazing at what he does and I walked away from this book with even more respect for him.

THE SECRET TO UNLOCKING YOUR PSYCHIC ABILITY

The workouts/training plans are cookie cutter, get-anywhere-online plans. I know Fraser sells personalized training coaching that is probably pretty good, so anything he's giving away for free (sold in the book) isn't going to be great, it will have to be something aimed at the average reader. I get that, but why bother? People who are not in the habit of talking with the dead have a hard time imagining what Matt Fraser’s life is like. Based on the questions he gets, they seem to think he spends most of his time sitting cross-legged in a trance, maybe hovering a few inches off the ground, leaving his physical body behind as he journeys across the veil to the spirit realm. But it’s not like that at all.
