High Performance: Lessons from the Best on Becoming Your Best

Product Information

The way it is written and reflected back to the podcast, that is also brilliant, will be with me for a long time. Feels like a lot of recycled content from their podcasts though so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who already listens to the podcasts. Dina Asher-Smith | Steven Bartlett | Tom Daley | Steven Gerrard | Evelyn Glennie | Kelly Holmes | Chris Hoy | Eddie Jones | Siya Kolisi | Frank Lampard | Jo Malone | Matthew McConaughey | Ant Middleton | Tracey Neville | Robin Van Persie | Mauricio Pochettino | Gareth Southgate | Holly Tucker | Jonny Wilkinson | Clive Woodward | Toto Wolff and many more.

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…. I'm a big believer in being 100% responsible for your own life and taking control of your reaction to a situation.

There are some new anecdotes from Jake and Damian personally but with respect to the pair of them, they aren’t why I listen/read. The High Performance book was an enjoyable, inspirational book that does it’s best to inspire its readers.

High Performance has now curated a Corporate Away Day that harnesses the educational qualities synonymous with the podcast and helps steer businesses in the right direction and educate on the mindset it takes to excel. From taking responsibility for your situation to finding your 'Trademark Behaviours', it reveals how the world's highest-achieving people unlocked their potential - and how you can too. From taking responsibility for your situation to finding your ‘Trademark Behaviours’, it reveals how the world’s highest-achieving people unlocked their potential – and how you can too. This is the second book based on a podcast that I’ve read, and on this evidence it will be the last (the other one was “Talking Sopranos”).Looked at from a less romantic point of view, the true lesson from any Steve Jobs or Usain Bolt story is that dozens of other people stood on the same start line after putting in just as much work and had their efforts come to nothing.

I've recommended this book to all my friends and family and I would absolutely recommend anybody read this. 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 intended to help you understand exactly what all of the individuals that they have has on the podcast all mean, even if they have different ways to explain it. Having struggled for motivation and focus in both my personal and professional life it provided me with the message I needed to drive forward and achieve. Yes there were overlaps and the book certainly went into detail from previous audio guests but I love the way the book not only produced different techniques for readers to explore but theories from other sources.This book uncovers the eight essential habits of the world's leading sportspeople, coaches and entrepreneurs.
