A Gritty Look at Mental Toughness

5 stars

Many texts on mindset have a glossy, self-help feel. This is not Tim Grover's approach.

This book covers Grover's experiences, observations, and strategies he collected over multiple decades of coaching some of the world's best athletes. Its lack of refinement is a refreshing departure from the "You can do it!" tone of so much of the mental coaching space.

Grover pulls no punches in describing how the road to high-performance is brutal, demoralizing, and never ending. It's written for folks who have been-there-done-that and find themselves compelled to go back and do it again. If the reader is looking for a gentle "pick me up", this isn't it.

This text has become a go-to recommendation for people that are about to do something really, really hard. An easy recommendation for any high-performer or someone who leads them.
