“When I started to implement the ideas in this book, my whole life changed. It wasn’t overnight, but sometimes it seemed like it. There’s no magic here, just practical thought processes, habits and philosophies drawn from the greatest performers in the world.
This book contains no theories. Every secret comes straight from the street of experiences, either my own or that of our clients. This book is loaded with ideas you can implement immediately. Some will be familiar, and some new. All of them have the power to catapult your results, no matter how high you’re flying. As a matter of fact, the people who will get the most value out of our mental toughness process are the world class. They are always trying to gain an edge and get better, which is one of the reasons I think so highly of them.
I’ve held nothing back in this book, which means that at times you might find yourself slightly offended. This book is constantly comparing ‘average people’ with ‘world class people.’ These terms are used to get your attention and make you ask, ‘Which one am I?’ We are all equal as human beings. I simply use these terms in reference to performance and results.”
~ Steve Siebold from 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class
I’m not sure exactly where I saw this book referenced.
But, when I saw the title I figured it would be a good addition to our ever-growing collection of Notes on mental toughness books so I got it and here we are.
I read the book in the same (DEEP WORK!) week I read Move by Move by the first African American Chess Grandmaster Maurice Ashley, The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser, Unstoppable Mindset by Alden Mills, Scars and Stripes by Tim Kennedy, and Elevate and Dominate by Deion Sanders.
Steve Siebold founded Mental Toughness University in 1986. He’s the author of a number of books and has worked with elite performers around the world for decades.
As per the title, this book is PACKED with “177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class”/ “The Thought Processes, Habits, and Philosophies of the Great Ones.”
I’m excited to share some of my favorite Big Ideas so let’s jump straight in!
