How does a fat, lazy low-income 45-year-old man living in a mobile home become a strong, lean, healthy 50-year-old man living in a half-million dollar home? Author and motivational speaker Claude Viens tells the story - his own story in his conference speech called “how to overcome man’s biggest obstacle”.

Claude Viens is a 54-year-old lighting designer and director and a storyteller who doubles as a motivational speaker – a personal dream since the age of 12. Having toured with so many renowned artists - mostly comedians for the past 20 years - it is succinct to mention that Claude has been overweight and, as such, consciously or unconsciously out of shape most of his life!

His bad health had really gotten out of hand since he was in his mid-40s as he had already become nothing but a low-income man with no libido for effort or any ambition whatsoever. Thus, approaching age 50, he decided to turn things around by taking calculated control of his health and finances!

Interestingly, in his quest for searching out for a different solution to obesity and bad health behavior, Claude chose to concentrate on the psychological aspect of getting healthy which gave birth to the book he successfully created, titled The Most Powerful Weight Loss Device Ever Made: The Human Brain.
