About this listen
The concepts of mental toughness are simple to understand and, with the right mind set, are easy to implement. Richard Bond's aim is for you to take the understanding you gain from this book to train your mind, just like you would in any other discipline. Knowledge on its own is not enough; you need to practice. For example, you might know how to perform a bench press, but that alone won't allow you to bench 500 pounds. You need to train, rest, grow, and adapt over time to get to that level. The benefits of mental toughness are not restricted to war or sport. They can be utilized in everyday life - doctors, firemen, nurses, business managers, or nine-to-five office workers are all tested on a daily basis, and this book will show you how to develop an unbeatable mind. Here's a preview of what's inside:
- What is mental toughness and can you have it?
- Who can benefit from mental toughness?
- Find your desire - Learn how to find a purpose and strengthen your mind
- Remove the negative thoughts from your mind and build self-belief
- Change your state of mind and build your mental strength
- How can you manage stress?
- Developing sour discipline with these simple methods
- Determination is a powerful tool to build your mental toughness

Depression is something we all dealt with either personally or have witnessed its impact on others around us. It affects our intimate relationships, drastically impacts our sex life, and affects our children, spouses, and family. If not dealt with in a healthy way, it takes over our lives. Our problems become our only focus. After some time, it only leads you further into the abyss and lessens the likelihood you’ll ever regain control of your thoughts. Even if you’ve tried everything you can think of with no success, you can finally gain control of your thoughts.

Story
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story
When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Very basic book on how important your mindset is for everything in your life; achieving goals, reacting to circumstances, general wellbeing, etc...
If you've read any other book on how important your mindset is you won't find anything new in this book. The main benefit of this book is how the information is condensed. In a 20ish minute read you have a good base of how important your mindset is to life. There is nothing new here and I wouldn't say this is a waste of time. I'd consider it a refresher on information already learned while living life. The narration was fine and I have no complaints.
Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times.
I requested this book from the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Don’t buy or listen
The best part of the audio book was the legal disclaimer at the beginning of the book. A total waste of time.

Outdated
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last two decades you have heard this all before. Book needs to be updated, rewritten or taken out of print. I listened to the whole book thinking it must get better. It did not.
