A book that has been suggested in a reading list provided by an author of a similar subject book. Is the publication delivering on its promise as expressed in the title? It starts to explain basic notions from scratch. As such not a futile and unnecessary undertaking, but up to page 50 or so there is a lot of talk, wordy explanations and rephrasing of statements already made before. From here onward, though, things get more real and down to earth. The handbook reveals secrets of an expert in 'me...
The exercises are great, but i actually felt like this was a really lazy rehashing of a ton of other books and materials from other self help. There was a ton of repetition, a lot of descriptions of scenarios that were general and not overly helpful.2 stars for the frequent exercises.
Hugely beneficial... Probably for everyoneI really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read with specific activities and processes you can start right now to make progress towards being mentally tough. I'm obsessed with Mark Watney, the protagonist from The Martian by Andy Weir because the character perfectly embodies mental toughness. He faces these horrible situations, one after the next, and says, "ok, this is happening. How am I going to solve this?" I want to be like that and that's why I picke...
This wasn't the book for me, clearly. Some good points about building mental toughness, but the digital copy of this book had so. many. typos. I'm happy to overlook a couple, but there were 1-2 every chapter, and it really pulled me out of the book.The exercises also weren't a great fit for me. Most were along the lines of "Write down 3 times when you failed at something. Now, write down how you would react to these failures now if given an opportunity."Self reflection is great! But the exercise...
Very goodI bought it by mistake... but I don't regret it. It's a short book and easy to read. Please read, one chapter a day. Give it time to process. It will change everything, little by little and don't forget to do the exercises. Yes, it has some and they are very good for you.
This was a disappointing concoction of common knowledge, useless advice, and patronising narrative. This book was so desperate to point out how it wasn't like other books that it didn't manage to achieve anything at all and was full of errors, repetition, and contradictions. On several occasions it points out that 'mental toughness' and 'resilience' are not the same thing, however goes on to use the terms interchangeably. It was so overly repetitive that had it been concisely written, I doubt it...
This book is kind of a 101 orientation to this particular aspect of stoicism, even down to the suggested exercises of negative visualization. Not the best book on the subject, but definitely a good place to start if you haven't already checked out the works of Ryan Holiday among others.
This is very typical of the kinds of books I'm reading through the Kindle Unlimited program these days, after impulsively buying a six-month subscription last week and then immediately learning that the "one million books" in their system consist of almost no titles I would want to purposely go out of my way to read. (For a great example, of the 98 books in my TBR list when I first joined, not a single solitary one of them was available through Kindle Unlimited.) That leaves me with titles like
This self help book was actually quite helpful. It’s short and to the point. Has lots of advice that you can use and some exercises to make you think and apply what is being said directly to your own life, it isn’t enough to read about this, you need to act on it to make a difference and I think this book shows you how to apply what is being said as much as the theory behind it.No, it’s not rocket science but with lots of practical tips and some thought provoking and relevant quotes from various...
I'll acknowledge that this book isn't massively groundbreaking, but it is a good handbook for overcoming challenges, handling stress, and dealing with boredom. Certainly faster than finding all of these tips via online research.While the author's stated intent is to cut out theory and focus on practice (which is achieved), I would have appreciated further reading recommendations and some citations. There are a few, but not enough to give an implication of well-rounded research which in my opinio...
I enjoyed it a lot!Great book, with many practical examples. Well-structured and digestible. I can recommend it a lot! It gave me a number of ideas for positive self-talk and for working in a mentally challenging environment.
So glad to have read this excellent self-help book. The doesn't spend a lot of time on theory nor anecdotes. There are practical application s. Cool to see th book has high ratings.
