Thrive: A practical guide to harness your resilience and realize your potential

Richard Sutton has helped some of the world's top sports stars and business leaders achieve their full potential, and now he is making the tools they use to thrive available to everyone.

We live in a world that demands perfection. Should we fail to live up to societal expectations, we experience a sense of failure, and fears and anxiety about a tenuous future. Added to this is the struggle with financial pressures and widening gaps in inequality, chronic stress and mental health challenges.

Yet, in truth, it doesn’t matter where we come from and what our historic circumstances and achievements might be. We are all capable of extraordinary lives and should not be bound by limitations, whether self-imposed or from external sources.

Resilience can help you to unlock your fullest potential; it is a consummate skill that can be developed and grown throughout your life. This book reveals all the practical tools you need:

• Discover the 8 secrets of neuroscience that will unlock your increased resilience
• Take a masterclass in behavioural science designed for Olympic athletes, by learning the 7 key skills that give you the mindset of a champion
• Take the tests provided to understand your personal resilience scores and reveal where you can develop and grow
• Be inspired by the stories of real people, including Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt, Martina Navratilova and Sifan Hassan, who have used these same techniques to achieve success

Thrive is a rich source of unique and practical skills and tools that are easy to apply in everyday life to help you develop and harness your resilience, and to realize your fullest potential.
