8 Ways to Develop a High-Performing Mind (Backed by Science)
What Olympic athletes and ultra-high-performers do and know that the rest of us don’t
The most powerful tool for achieving success isn’t an app, or a training protocol, a “framework,” or some secret “hack.” It’s your mind. It’s always been your mind, and this book will help you get the most out of it…every single day.
Andrew Thompson has spent decades coaching some of the most elite athletes and high-performers in the world, and A High-Performing Mind breaks down 12 of the key traits and characteristics shared by all of them.
Many of the lessons are taught through short stories emerging from his own life and work, including his personal (and eventually victorious) struggle against a debilitating medical condition that nearly killed him.
Andrew successfully passed through the worst of the worst (and guided many others through the most challenging moments of their lives too), and emerged with a vital understanding of how to pull out your very best at all times.
His book will show you how to sharpen and fortify your mind, and I actually feel quite fortunate having discovered this fairly underrated book! It’s not widely known, and having read it I felt that it gave me a sort of secret advantage. Reading it will give you a secret advantage too.
