“This book is the culmination of a deeply personal journey to push my own limits and discover what it truly takes to live and perform at your best,” said Aguilar. “I wanted to create something that combines science, storytelling, and practical strategies—so anyone, at any age, can take control of their health, mindset, and performance. The launch is designed to bring these ideas to life in an interactive, inspiring way.”
MANILA, Philippines — Multi-awarded entrepreneur, TV producer, and author John Aguilar will launch his much-anticipated third book under Penguin Random House Southeast Asia, The Art & Science of Peak Performance, on September 6, 2025 at Shangri-La Plaza East Mall from 3:00 to 6:00 PM.
Following the success of his previous bestsellers The Art & Science of the Pitch—inspired by his pioneering business reality TV show The Final Pitch—and Methods to Greatness, which was also adapted into documentary series, Aguilar’s new book takes readers on an extraordinary journey to optimize the mind, body, and one’s life.
A Personal Quest Turned Global Exploration
What began as Aguilar’s personal challenge to return to competitive sport two decades after retiring evolved into an extraordinary journey to uncover the science of peak performance. His quest took him across the globe—from braving ice plunges in the middle of the Baltic Sea and learning from Finland’s famed “Happiness Professor,” to uncovering the factors on why Switzerland consistently ranks among the highest in global quality of life. He explored some of the world’s “Blue Zones” to learn from the people in the communities.
Along the way, Aguilar has interviewed Olympians, learned from Formula 1 performance coaches, and gained wide-reaching insights from top medical experts, psychologists, and business leaders—all to distill actionable strategies for achieving mental clarity, physical vitality, and lasting well-being.
The book explores seven core areas: Sleep, Nutrition & Supplementation, Movement & Training, The Peak Performer Mindset, Recovery & Injury Prevention, Disease Prevention & Intervention, and Biohacking & Longevity.
An Interactive Wellness & Performance Experience
The September 6 launch promises to be more than a traditional book launch event. Guests can expect:
- An inspiring talk and reading by John Aguilar.
- Interactive wellness and performance activities.
- Partner brand activations from Technogym, UNLTD (to be finalized)
