1. Relentless - Tim Grover. Cool to get insights on how Kobe, MJ and other legendary winners (and “cleaners” in Tim’s parlance) operated and executed.
2. The Art of Impossible - Steven Kotler. I really liked approaching the idea of Flow and achieving impossible goals through a neuroscience lens broken down into executable steps.
I had to give up on ‘Do Hard Things’ around halfway through. I’ve enjoyed other Steve Magness books, but this one felt repetitive and like it was trying to say a lot without really saying anything. A similar book I enjoyed a lot more was ‘Endure’ by Alex Hutchinson.
The mindfulness aspect is interesting. I try and not use my phone in the first hour I wake up and on my long runs.
I haven’t figured a way to do uphill treadmill workouts without some hardcore dance music like ‘prodigy’ playing yet 😝
Two books on this topics that I read recently:
1. Relentless - Tim Grover. Cool to get insights on how Kobe, MJ and other legendary winners (and “cleaners” in Tim’s parlance) operated and executed.
2. The Art of Impossible - Steven Kotler. I really liked approaching the idea of Flow and achieving impossible goals through a neuroscience lens broken down into executable steps.
I’ll have to check those out!

Yeah I get that, I definitely was losing steam on it by the second half. Endure is a great one!
