For generations, we've been taught toughness means bulldozing through--pushing to the point of breakdown--and that showing any sign of weakness is failure. This model of toughness has long been glorified and celebrated. But the truth is, it doesn't work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, now offers a new kind of toughness--real toughness--that 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReal toughness is based on four core pillars which cultivate genuine inner strength: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003ePillar 1- Ditch the Façade, Embrace RealityPillar 2- Listen to Your BodyPillar 3- Respond, Instead of React Pillar 4- Transcend Discomfort\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike \u003cem\u003eEndure \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eThe Talent Code, Do Hard Things\u003c\/em\u003e flips the script on what it means to be tough, pointing to new research that shows how our understanding of resilience--one that ignores discomfort--is 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063098619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs","brand":"Steve Magness","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42077572694197,"sku":"9780063098619","price":24.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_caf0785b-4388-450d-8832-c0576cb431eb.jpg?v=1650957323","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/do-hard-things-why-we-get-resilience-wrong-and-the-surprising-science-of-real-toughness-9780063098619","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
