About this title

Synopsis

Are you reaching your peak? This book will guide you there and help you go higher.

Everyone at some point in their life wants to do something big. Something EPIC. But the clock on achieving your dreams is ticking fast—probably faster than you think.

From managing multimillion-dollar projects with hundreds of employees to running 205 miles around Lake Tahoe in 76 hours to cycling 300 miles in a single day, performance expert and ultradistance athlete Bryan Gillette knows what it takes to achieve extraordinary results.

After interviewing a diverse group of more than 100 high-achieving executives and endurance athletes, he developed the five pillars of the EPIC Performance framework to simplify the steps so that you can walk your own path to doing things you never thought possible and living a more fulfilling life.

E = Envision: Clearly see your goals for your company, career, and life.

P = Plan: Create a step-by-step blueprint for making your dream a reality.

I = Iterate: Repeatedly practice with intention and evaluate your performance.

C = Collaborate: Work with others, and learn from those who have gone before you.

Perform: Put your plan into action.

Filled with timeless practical advice, unforgettable stories, and expert-tested exercises that will reorient your daily life from average to epic, EPIC Performance is a must-read, no-nonsense guide for those looking to do big things.
