Magness found the perfect mix of personal narrative, studies and evaluation to round out this book。 He included his experience as runner, but did not just rely on his own ideas。 He backed up his ideas with supporting stories and research articles。 It read well through out。 I liked how the book is structured to explain a concept and also have take aways。 It was slightly athlete focused, however he does give examples from other areas so it’s still relevant for everyone。 My favorite quote from the Magness found the perfect mix of personal narrative, studies and evaluation to round out this book。 He included his experience as runner, but did not just rely on his own ideas。 He backed up his ideas with supporting stories and research articles。 It read well through out。 I liked how the book is structured to explain a concept and also have take aways。 It was slightly athlete focused, however he does give examples from other areas so it’s still relevant for everyone。 My favorite quote from the first chapter that really sets up (and summarizes) the book: “Real toughness is experiencing discomfort or distress, leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action。 It’s navigating discomfort to make the best decision possible。” The ideas presented will move you away from “tough it out” and into tuning into your body and mind to make the hard decisions。 Thank you Netgalley and HarperOne for the ARC。 Also posted on www。shelbygreads。wordpress。com 。。。more

Lots of good, actionable info here。 I didn't need a lot of the stories, but they can be very helpful/interesting for many readers, so I see their value。 There are lots of additional approaches (Buddhism for example) that readers may want to explore in addition to the helpful ideas here。 Recommended。Thanks very much for the free ARC for review!!
