Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and the Surprising Science of Real Toughness by Steve Magness
An interesting take on the topic was is true toughness in a human. The word itself suggest the grit and relentless determination to prevail. This book explores a different take and cultivates numerous ideas and concepts that tend to fly in the face of the old school definition.
The author relates a lot to his experiences in competitive running. At times the material gets a bit deep and even wonkish. But overall some very enlightening concepts emerge that I found useful and will test out in my show more daily challenges.
He also relates some of the individual considerations to leadership and society at large particularly in today's heated environment politically, socially, and otherwise. He reveals in the conclusion his own OCD disorder as a child and to a certain extent as an adult that he relates much of what he puts forth in the book. In total some good and interesting ideas and approaches that anyone could utilize in their life. show less
