About this title

Synopsis

Set a goal. Add six key ingredients. And thrive...

Why do some people seem to achieve goals in life with ease, and perform better and seem happier and more fulfilled in the process? Why do some people cope with adversity, juggle multiple roles and attain success seemingly so much more smoothly than do others? It's all about the Six Key components of human performance.

Human Performance is a term that carries little meaning for many, often being perceived as something that applies to the 'elite' few: professional athletes, fighter pilots, business superstars... And yet, human performance in its true sense is at the core of how we all live our lives, because we are all human, and we are all Performers. The term relates to how we all function in everything we do, how we achieve goals and how we thrive in the process. Those goals may be very specific or relate to the bigger picture of how we each live and gain fulfilment, but the key ingredients are the same, regardless of the task at hand.

So whether you are trying to lose a little weight, get fitter, progress your career, learn a new skill, juggle multiple responsibilities, feel empowered, more alive and happier, and you want to be able to sustain your achievements, then this is a must read book.

Professor Cathy Speed draws from her considerable expertise as a physician, scientist and educator in high performance environments to deliver the key truths behind performing well. She provides the six key ingredients to performing well in any domain of life. None of these ingredients are inborn. She takes the reader on a voyage through a diverse range of fields, from neurosciences and learning to nutrition, health and technologies, seamlessly translating complex science into simple messages that we can all use to transform how we live and perform.

This is at last a book of truth in the chaotic world of information about human performance, and brings true substance to the overused phrase 'be all you can be'.
