Do Hard Things
320 Pages I Hardcover
Toughness has long been held as a fundamental key to achieving peak performance. For generations, weâve been taught toughness means bulldozing throughâpushing to the point of breakdownâand that showing any sign of weakness is failure. This model of toughness has long been glorified and celebrated. But the truth is, it doesnât work.
Steve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, now offers a new kind of toughnessâreal toughnessâthat can help anyone navigate adversity and challenge. Grounded in the latest sports science and psychology, real toughness is about paying attention to your physiological, emotional, and psychological responses (from pain to anger) and working with them to overcome a challenge. Real toughness works with our biology and psychology; fake toughness fights against them.
Real toughness is based on four core pillars which cultivate genuine inner strength:
- Pillar 1âDitch the Façade, Embrace Reality
- Pillar 2âListen to Your Body
- Pillar 3âRespond, Instead of ReactÂ
- Pillar 4âTranscend Discomfort
Like Endure and The Talent Code, Real Toughness flips the script on what it means to be tough, pointing to new research that shows how our understanding of resilienceâone that ignores discomfortâis wrong. Magness draws from mindfulness, military case studies, sports psychology, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy to show how real toughness makes us more successful, happier, and better people.
