"A fascinating, practical, implementable toolkit to realising your full potential through unlocking and channelling the power of resilience."
Based on his experience as a leading advisor in the field of high-level sports performance, and informed by his personal experience of developing resilience as a result of a tough childhood, Richard Sutton’s Thrive is a trove of practical, thought-provoking tools designed to help readers reach their full potential.
Drawing on neuroscience, dietary science, personal experience and professional insights, it’s incredibly thorough as it seeks to set folks on a path to escaping self-imposed and externally-inflicted limitations through harnessing eight lessons from neuroscience, and seven tools Olympic athletes take from behavioural science.
Peppered with tests that serve a practical purpose, and case studies of notable individuals who’ve found success with the book’s techniques (among them Usain Bolt and Martina Navratilova), at the heart of the book lies an inspirational message around everyone having the power to attain more. And beyond having an infectiously inspirational vibe, the methods outlined in Thrive serve the practical purpose of helping individuals unlock their true potential.
We live in a world that demands perfection. Should we not meet established milestones or targets, not conform to the appropriate curve, or fail to live up to pre-established societal expectations, we invariably experience a sense of personal failure, worthlessness, and fears and anxiety about a tenuous future.Added to this is the struggle with financial pressures and widening gaps in inequality, fractured family units, chronic stress and mental health challenges, overlaid with the uncertainty and complexity of a rapidly changing world.Yet, in truth, it doesn't matter where we come from and what our historic circumstances and achievements might be.
