After nearly two decades since his last acclaimed non-fiction release, world record–breaking explorer, award-winning filmmaker, leadership coach, and wellness pioneer Sean Burch returns with a transformative new work. The visionary behind the world’s first complete functional fitness and wellness program (Hyperfitness), Burch once again pushes the boundaries of human potential and modern leadership.
In his groundbreaking new book, he redefines what it means to lead, connect, and thrive in an age of disconnection, offering a bold blueprint for cultivating purpose, vitality, and authentic human connection in every area of life.
In Sweatworking, Burch challenges conventional ideas of success and well-being, empowering leaders and teams worldwide to cultivate resilience, forge genuine human connections, age stronger, and ignite lasting transformation in work, health, and life.
As obesity soars, mental health declines, and technology replaces human contact, Sweatworking arrives as a cultural wake-up call. This isn’t another wellness trend or corporate bonding gimmick; it’s a revolutionary blueprint for reclaiming vitality, connection, and purpose through movement.
Burch fuses decades of expedition-tested resilience with cutting-edge behavioral science to show how sweat can be the new currency of connection. He invites readers to imagine a world where boardrooms and gyms collide, where business networking transforms into sweat-driven bonds that strengthen bodies, sharpen minds, and restore the sense of community we’ve lost.
At a time when society feels fractured, fatigued, and starved for authenticity, Sweatworking offers a bold new way forward. It’s the complete guide to transforming how you lead, collaborate, and live—one workout, one connection, one powerful step at a time.
WORLD-record holder and training expert Sean Burch, who has been hailed as "one of the fittest men on earth," (CNN International) is dedicated to reaching the greatest heights of fitness. Now Sean shares the secrets of his own success and shows you how to use his revolutionary training techniques to get yourself in better shape than you ever imagined possible.
What does Hyperfitness mean? It means setting goals and attaining them. It means discovering that you are stronger and tougher than you knew. And, it means taking your workout to a whole new level. The program focuses on three important, linked components:
- Hyperstrength: Innovative exercises and drills give you the strength, quickness, and endurance of a world-class athlete. With names like "aerial spins" and "ski-mogul master jumps," the exercises are fun and varied, and encompass three fitness levels.
- Hyperfare: Essential guidelines include meal plans and recipes to help your body get the nutrition needed to power through the challenging workouts.
- Hypermind: Mental-conditioning techniques, such as meditation and visualization, combine with the workouts so you can achieve all your physical and mental goals. In addition to the training program, Sean recounts the story of his incredible summit of Mount Everest. Encouraging and inspiring, Hyperfitness offers readers the motivation to conquer their own "inner Everest"-be it a marathon, triathlon, long hike, 5K run, or any other fitness goal.
