Title: Peak Performance Pdf Elevate Your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive with the New Science of Success
A few common principles drive performance, regardless of the field or the task at hand. Whether someone is trying to qualify for the Olympics, break ground in mathematical theory or craft an artistic masterpiece, many of the practices that lead to great success are the same. In Peak Performance, Brad Stulberg, a former McKinsey and Company consultant and journalist who covers health and the science of human performance, and Steve Magness, a performance scientist and coach of Olympic athletes, team up to demystify these practices and demonstrate how everyone can achieve their best.
The first book of its kind, Peak Performance combines the inspiring stories of top performers across a range of capabilities - from athletic, to intellectual, to artistic - with the latest scientific insights into the cognitive and neurochemical factors that drive performance in all domains. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers new linkages that hold promise as performance enhancers but have been overlooked in our traditionally-siloed ways of thinking. The result is a life-changing book in which listeners will learn how to enhance their performance via myriad ways including: optimally alternating between periods of intense work and rest; developing and harnessing the power of a self-transcending purpose; and priming the body and mind for enhanced productivity.
In revealing the science of great performance and the stories of great performers across a wide range of capabilities, Peak Performance uncovers the secrets of success, and coaches listeners on how to use them. If you want to take your game to the next level, whatever "your game" may be, Peak Performance will teach you how.
Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks :) Just finished. Excellent job at taking potentially complex scientific principles, concepts, and ideas and presenting them in simple, not simplistic, ways so the reader can readily understand how to apply them. Enjoyable read from start to finish, loaded with practical ideas no matter your age, gender, passions, or pursuits! But, it is not a one-size-fits-all magic formula. You'll learn to work within your strengths & weaknesses, passions and personality. It is a flexible framework. As an old guy in his 45th year of running and having gone through the PhD grind over 20 years ago, this book would have saved me a lot of trial-and-error in my own pursuits. Read and apply!Definitely a motivator for elevating your game! I have absolutely LOVED reading this book about maximizing your potential self. As a runner, I find Steve extremely relatable, however, I am impressed with how relatable all the stories in the book are regardless of your passion (athletic or not). This book helped me obtain clear insight into my personal goals and how to keep your "eyes on the prize" while staying driven and focused in a sustainable way. This book is an extremely easy read and well written. I would definitely recommend this book to help you center yourself around your passions and goals. Well done!Peak Performance - Learning the Principles, Doing the work, and developing your path to success This is a thoughtful, well-written and practical work on ways to improve your performance based on principles developed from both real-world examples (across many fields) and the latest science (across multiple disciplines). This is a "Do the work" book - if you are looking for the success and flourishing equivalent of a get rich quick scheme, then look elsewhere. If you are willing to do the work, try some new things (and/or stop doing some others), then this book will provide a wealth of ideas and information to help you on your journey.The book is broken into 3 sections based on their key principles of:* The Growth Equation (stress + rest = growth)* Priming - the power of developing optimal routines and designing your day* Purpose - to keep you focused and motivatedThere are many valuable ideas and insights in each chapter. My favorite feature of the book are the "performance practices" - these are callout boxes that distill key ideas into actions you can take right away to start to improve.I learned and was challenged throughout the book - my 2 favorite chapters are:* minimalist to be a maximalist - life is about choices and it is important to be highly focused in some areas and minimize the decisions and attention we give to other areas. I loved this quote from Michael Joyner - "You need to say no to a lot of things so that when it is time to say yes, you can do so with all your energy." The key is to be intentional and to make habits for the areas that are needed but not part of your focus.* transcend your "self". This chapter is on purpose and it challenges a lot of my thinking. I plan to work with some of the ideas mentioned here (and do the exercise on purpose that they recommend) and see how this works for me. I want to understand both the theory and practice in this area so I will be reading some of the works mentioned here in the near future. I am a strong believer in purpose but not "self-transcendence" and that is what I want to understand more.The book is truly action oriented and I have already starting using the ideas as I read the book over the last few days. I recommend the book highly and for those who are coaches or leaders, I would encourage you to share the ideas with your teams (and encourage them to read the book).Two additional thoughts - any critical thinker will find areas they disagree with in most books and this is no exception. The power of this book is that it is encouraging me to explore those areas in more detail. Additionally, most of us know that psychology and the social sciences have been plagued with a "reproduce-ability crisis" with many studies. While this work is very evidence based, it is important to remember that these ideas and findings will continue to evolve and change. For those with a growth mindset, that is just another piece of the puzzle in long-term learning and growth.I hope this book gets a wide audience and helps others in their personnel success and flourishing.
