We are all in survival mode -- The American dream is to blame -- Spend less time seeking and chasing, more time exploring -- Accept the messiness of who you are -- Learn how to lose -- Care deeply but be able to let go -- Craft your environment to work with you, not against you -- Find connection and belonging without fusing -- Realigning with reality -- Moving from surviving to thriving
"Renowned performance scientist and bestselling author Steve Magness reveals a new path to sustainable success. In Win the Inside Game, Magness argues that excellence and fulfillment are not mutually exclusive; we can and should seek both. When we measure our worth by our achievements, cement our identities to our careers, and sacrifice our well-being in the pursuit of external validation, it backfires. We default to survival mode, protecting and defending ourselves instead of being free to fulfill our potential. In this, his most personal book yet, Magness draws on his vast wealth of experience as an Olympic coach and whistleblower, highly popular consultant, and premier expert on performance, as well as scientific findings, interviews, and case studies, to provide a three-part framework to help us learn to focus on what really matters and achieve success. Be--Clarity on Who You Are Do--Clarity in Your Pursuits Belong--Clarity on Where and How You Fit In"--
