At the launch of his latest book, The Art & Science of Peak Performance, John Aguilar revealed that unlike his previous titles, this one is not about business pitches or success stories — it’s about his own lifelong journey of health, consistency, and balance.
Manila, Philippines — September 6, 2025 – Unlike his earlier titles — The Art & Science of the Pitch and Methods to Greatness — which focused on business and entrepreneurship, Aguilar’s newest book turns inward. It explores seven interconnected areas of well-being: sleep, nutrition, training, mindset, recovery, disease prevention, and biohacking.
“The Art & Science of Peak Performance is special for me because I wasn’t just collecting research — I was experiencing it myself,” Aguilar shared. “From maintaining routines as an athlete at 47 to learning from experts and long-living communities, these are practices I’ve actually tried to live. That’s why I call it my most personal project.”
Writing While Living the Journey
The timing of the book overlapped with Aguilar’s production of Methods to Greatness, a documentary series profiling leaders across Asia. The dual role allowed him to write not only as a producer gathering insights, but as someone actively testing and living the principles of performance.
“Because I was filming and traveling, I had the excuse to visit experts, Blue Zone communities, and even return to competition,” he recalled. “It wasn’t just research on paper. It was mental, physical, emotional, even spiritual.”
Aguilar explained that unlike his past works, this project reflects lessons he has lived and tested himself. Rather than focusing on business or entrepreneurship, the new book brings together the habits and practices that have carried him through different stages of life.
Grounded in Purpose
Ultimately, Aguilar explained, the project reflects not just his passion for wellness but his drive to prepare for big goals ahead. With his long-running reality show The Final Pitch expanding globally after a debut season in Dubai, he views health as the foundation for sustaining ambition.
“For me, it’s not about extremes. It’s about balance and showing up every day — for my family, my work, and my future goals.”
The Art & Science of Peak Performance is now available in select National Book Store branches in Manila, across Southeast Asia, and globally on Amazon.
