PHOENIX, Arizona – Twenty Guinness World Records that have remained undefeated for more than 50 years. Four doctorate degrees. Co-founder of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). Creator of the globally recognised NASM personal training certification industry. Author of more than 50 books. Holder of dozens of medical-device patents. Grandmaster martial artist, celebrated fine artist, film producer, actor, serial entrepreneur and philanthropist.
All of it achieved by Dr. Robert M. Goldman – known to friends and admirers worldwide simply as “Dr. Bob” – beginning from the humblest of origins in Chicago.
Now the full, astonishing story of this modern-day Renaissance man is told in the powerful new memoir UNSTOPPABLE: The Incredible Journey of Dr. Robert M. Goldman – Success Secrets from the Visionary Who Transformed Health, Fitness, and Medicine. Written by his longtime colleague, collaborator and close friend Dr. Neil Farber, MD, PhD, the book has just been released by Dynamic Publishing Group (Copyright © 2026 Dr. Neil Farber, MD, PhD).
“Robert Goldman should not be possible,” the book declares – and the record bears it out. Goldman’s feats of strength and endurance, including multiple Guinness World Records for consecutive sit-ups, push-ups and handstand push-ups, still stand undefeated after five decades.
Dr. Farber, himself a retired paediatric anesthesiologist, professor of psychology, pharmacology and toxicology, multiple-PhD holder and 9th-Dan martial-arts grandmaster, brings both intimate knowledge and professional authority to the telling. In the book’s foreword, Farber recounts first meeting Goldman at a martial-arts gathering where the two physicians worked together to save the life of a collapsing guest. What began as professional curiosity quickly turned into deep admiration; Farber later described his friend in Psychology Today as “the Grandmaster of Success” and “the most interesting man in the world.”
Spanning 29 chapters, UNSTOPPABLE traces Goldman’s remarkable arc: from a tough Chicago upbringing and schoolyard survival lessons, through pioneering work in the personal-training and anti-aging movements, record-breaking athletic achievements, medical innovation, Hollywood collaborations, philanthropy and global mentorship. Gold boxes titled “GOLDMAN NUGGETS” offer readers direct pearls of wisdom from Dr. Bob throughout the volume.
“This is not a story about what one man accomplished,” writes Farber. “It is a blueprint for what is possible when ambition, discipline, and genuine humanity converge.”
The memoir has already drawn high praise from an extraordinary cross-section of leaders, athletes, physicians and celebrities:
“I learned a lot from this book, including that compared to Bob, I wasted too much time!!” – Lloyd Blankfein, former Chairman and CEO, Goldman Sachs
“Let his incredible accomplishments show you that it’s possible to stare down challenges and come out on top!” – Harvey Mackay, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Swim with The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive
“Bob Goldman is the most vital human being I’ve ever been in a room with.” – Ramadan Ameen, former COO, BlackRock Corporate Communications Group
“Dr. Robert Goldman’s life is a grand and hopeful story and Unstoppable is a must-read memoir.” – Ken Dychtwald, PhD, Founder and CEO of Age Wave, author of Radical Curiosity
“His life story is a powerful reminder of what dedication, vision, and heart can accomplish.” – Lou Ferrigno, two-time Mr. Universe and actor
Additional endorsements come from neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon, multiple martial-arts grandmasters including Sir Ronald Van Clief and Stephen K. Hayes, and wellness icons such as Mike O’Hearn and Grandmaster Eric Lee.
Farber emphasises that Goldman’s lifelong mission has always extended far beyond personal glory. From lifesaving medical devices now used by the Red Cross and NASA to the creation of entire industries in personal training and anti-aging medicine, Goldman’s work has improved the quality of life for millions worldwide. Yet he remains remarkably humble, approachable and devoted to mentoring the next generation.
The dedication page of the book offers a touching insight: Dr. Farber, who is visually impaired, credits his wife Lori – herself a close friend of Goldman’s – for making the project possible through countless hours of interviews, research and editing.
For readers in Bali – a global centre for wellness, yoga, longevity and holistic living – UNSTOPPABLE arrives as both inspiration and practical guide. As Dr. Farber notes in the foreword, Goldman’s journey proves that “no dream is too big, no goal is unattainable if you have the determination to pursue it.”
The book is now available through major booksellers and Dynamic Publishing Group. Those seeking to recalibrate what they believe is possible in health, fitness, business and life will find UNSTOPPABLE an essential – and unforgettable – read.
