Lacking substance. Unnecessary drag.

This book is just 93-97% examples, many of them are not impactful and are explained in extremely unnecessary detail and length. Book has too much talk around his life during cancer and sadly it appears that the diagnosis really shook him so his overall tone in the book is not courageous. His first book "It takes what it takes", on the other hand, is a must listen.

He knows how to win. More, he knows the many ways - subtle, brutal, often self-inflicted - we lose. As the most trusted mental coach in the world of sports, Trevor Moawad has worked with many of the most dominant athletes and the savviest coaches. From Nick Saban and Kirby Smart to Russell Wilson, they all look to Moawad for help finding or keeping or regaining their competitive edge. (As do countless business leaders and members of special forces.) Now, at last, Moawad shares his unique philosophy with the general public.

Many unique lessons and stories, different than other self help books. I am going to start listening to the whole of it again right now. It made me wake up after 5 hours and workout for 2 hours vs sleeping 10 hours. Wish I'd heard this in high school vs mid life career.

2 things stood out for me and the first one that I've not heard in any other self development book
1) Treat triumph and defeat (imposters) the same way and the focus within a second on your task as that's what peak performers do.
2) Give your 100%, 100% of the time

The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.

All of us have what it takes to make it in today's competitive and changing world.

The key to ultimate achievement has very little to do with your education or skill level.

The book has very deep insights which are very close to and an explanation of many verses in the Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It is very eye opening and practical in all aspects of daily life to be truly happy and have better human relationships. It provides the understanding of how to be free of anger, anxiety, discontent, frustration and constant negativity.
