Reboot with Joe: Fully Charged builds on the success of Joe Cross’s wellness journey documented in Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, offering a motivational yet somewhat familiar roadmap for long-term health. This book expands beyond juicing to present Joe’s “7 Keys” for living a more balanced, vibrant life—with an emphasis on mindfulness, community, and self-respect, alongside nutrition and exercise.

The structure is easy to follow, and Cross's down-to-earth tone makes the advice accessible and relatable. There’s a sense of encouragement throughout, as Joe reminds readers that lasting change is possible and doesn’t require perfection. His personal anecdotes, especially regarding his struggles and victories, are inspiring without sounding preachy.

That said, much of the content feels like a reiteration of common wellness advice: eat whole foods, stay active, rest, and surround yourself with support. Readers looking for groundbreaking insights or a more structured plan might be left wanting more. The book shines more as a motivational companion than a detailed how-to guide.

In short, Fully Charged is best suited for those who already admire Joe Cross’s journey and are looking for a gentle nudge to stay on track. It may not deliver any surprises, but it reinforces solid, sustainable health habits in an encouraging way.

A very interesting book and the appeal is that Joe seems to be a normal person who has no medical expertise but like so many, suffered from a weight problem. Inspirational and well written I’d recommend this to anyone considering an alternative to lifestyle eating.

The author tells you from the start of the book, what worked for him may not ideally work for you, but he gives you the tools to adapt his 7 principles for yourself. Written honestly with the intention to help, not doctrinate, this is an excellent book to aid you in the task of adapting your lifestyle on a path to health.
