Check Engine Light cover

Check Engine Light is the culmination of Rob Wilson's years of working with warriors, athletes, executives, and laypeople who just want to stay healthy and live long. This is the common thread among everyone who purchases any diet book, fitness book, or general health book. However, despite the plethora of information at our fingertips, we find ourselves struggling to interpret that information and end up adopting approaches that do not fit our unique needs, or we outsource our health to those with little or no stake in our outcomes. We end up sicker, feeling worse, or giving up completely. Rob Wilson has dedicated his career to helping clients who are already banged up, broken, and torn down, many of them having no known cause for the problems they are experiencing. Through his work, Rob discovered that we have small warning lights flickering long before a major malfunction manifests, and if we can identify and act on those signals early on, we can avoid total engine failure. Unfortunately, unlike a car, the human body does not come with an owner's manual, so when the check engine light pops on, you cannot just turn a page to see what it means until now. Check Engine Light will guide you through how to identify early warning signs to help you develop your own service plan. This book is not a 'quick fix' system or dogmatic approach that perpetuates false narratives and junk science, but instead invites you to participate in an investigation of your own health. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of your individual needs, think independently about the array of tools available to you, and ultimately chart your own course for optimal well-being, using Wilson's structured approach. Check Engine Light is complete with a self-guided workbook and case studies from elite warfighters that will inspire you to hop back in the driver's seat of your own health with the confidence, clarity, and perspective to go the distance.

“In the relentless drive of high performance, it’s easy to overlook the warning signs until something breaks. Slowing down requires courage, especially when pushing through is second nature. As a client of Rob’s, I’ve experienced firsthand how his straightforward approach helps you recognize those critical moments. Check Engine Light is your guide to staying in the fight—and staying whole while doing it.” – Britt Slabinski, Medal of Honor Recipient & Former Command Master Chief, USN SEAL Teams

“I wish this book had existed when I was a young man in Naval Special Warfare (NSW). I would have been better in all aspects of the job. If I was still on active duty, Check Engine Light would be mandatory reading for all my guys, and I would keep pushing it down until it was mandatory reading at the beginning of all of the Special Operations Forces selection courses. This book is that important!” - Alex Oliver, Founder, Virginia High Performance, Continue Mission Program

Self-knowledge is the bedrock of awareness. But how can an individual tune in to decode their body’s conversation with itself? In a time where external influences relentlessly feed our brain, body and psyche, Rob Wilson’s process of query enables each person to restore their own awareness battery. His book challenges your assumptions about your thoughts, embodied feelings and behaviors in a granular and philosophical manner. This leads to a necessary and critical self-interrogation that bears fruit now and for decades to come. Check Engine Light is the check-in that everyone needs. ~ Jill Miller, author of Body by Breath and The Roll Model
