The Passion Paradox
The coauthors of the bestselling Peak Performance dive into the fascinating science behind passion, showing how it can lead to a rich and meaningful life while also illuminating the ways in which it is a double-edged sword. Here’s how to cultivate a passion that will take you to great heights—while minimizing the risk of an equally great fall. Common advice is to find and follow your passion. A life of passion is a good life, or so we are told. But it's not that simple. Rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs—whether they're athletic, scientific, entrepreneurial, or artistic—can be every bit as destructive as it is productiv...

Summary of Steve Magness's Do Hard Things
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Toughness is typically defined as the ability to overcome obstacles, and for the most part, Knight’s teams lived up to that definition. However, not everyone was thriving. #2 We have a fundamental misunderstanding of what toughness is. It exists in many forms, from the basketball courts to the playing fields, and it dominates far more than just the basketball courts. #3 The four main parenting styles are authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and neglectful. Authoritarian parents don’t trust their children to make good decisions, and they rely on fear and threats to ensure that they make good choices. #4 The just right Goldilocks fit occurs when expectations are high, but so is support. High demand accompanied by warmth and understanding. When there is an extreme mismatch between demand and support, problems arise.
Summary of Brad Stulberg & Steve Magness's Peak Performance
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 To make muscles, such as your biceps, stronger, you must find the Goldilocks weight: an amount you can barely manage, which will leave you exhausted but not injured by the time you’ve finished your workout. #2 The cycle of stress and rest is referred to as periodization in the world of exercise science. It involves isolating a muscle or capability you want to grow, stressing it, and then resting and recovering to allow for adaptation to occur. #3 Deena Kastor is the most famous American woman runner, and she’s won an Olympic bronze medal in the marathon. She holds the American marathon record, having covered the 26. 2 miles in just 2 hours and 19 minutes. #4 Kastor’s secret is understanding how much stress she can handle and how much rest she requires. She has mastered the inputs, and understands how much stress she can tolerate and how much rest she requires. Thus, the output – a lifetime of growth and excellence – isn’t surprising.
