High Performance: Lessons from the Best on Becoming Your Best

Product Information

And how although there are differences, there are also many similarities the authors discovered in the pod, which are outlined in the book and given a bit more fleshing out. I enjoyed the tone of this book and the way that each chapter was a standalone lesson so you can easily pick the book up after time away and not need to 'follow' what was previously discussed.

It is such a complicated industry to work in, with many varied opinions and different leaders, but many friends. Jake and I met in F1, and he has always had a perspective that looked beyond the blinkers of motor-racing. High performance is and attitude and a lifestyle that those at the top live their entire life with, which also explains why they always seem to be achieving in multiple things at once. I liked the sections about taking ownership and motivation, but the best part of the book is the last chapter about courage. Take any success story - take any famous person - who is famous because they are successful, and they will regale you for hours with stories about their training programme, the sacrifices, the early morning starts….Their first book, High Performance , was a Sunday Times bestseller and has sold over 100,000 copies.

He tries to give strategies in a few places to tackle a few situations but those too are over simplified and poorly orchestrated. The guys cover some great points and give insights into lots of different areas on how to become a high performer. The summary page at the end of each chapter is really helpful for referring back to key themes in the future. From the first chapter it has been surprising how good the book actually is and how much content is in the book, all nice and clear, and it's not just repetition of what you can find elsewhere. There are some tips to be found amongst the chaff but, on the whole, this book offers nothing new and is far too reliant upon the message that the lessons of sporting superstars are relevant to the average person.It's full of valuable principles and approaches shared by teams and athletes across professional sports, with real-world relevance to people's everyday lives.
