"If personal rather than strategic strength is your focus, there’s Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives by journalist Michael Joseph Gross, which argues that we need to revise our attitude to the tissue that makes up 30-40% of our bodies. He writes, “Think how the world could look different if every time you heard someone say muscle, the first person you thought of was not some big guy who had taken steriods, but your grandmother. Making that shift is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the people you love.”"
