The Ten Pillars of Success

De: Josephine Perry

Narrado por: Josephine Perry

Sport psychologist Dr Josephine Perry spends her life working with exceptional performers. She has identified ten psychological pillars that the ultra-successful have ingrained within their approach. And the good news is that we can all learn these mental building blocks.

In this book you’ll hear those who have excelled in their field discussing their route to success and learn how you can emulate them. A sense of belonging, mastery, autonomy, purpose, confidence, process, courage, optimism, internal insight or gratitude – all these skills can be vital in helping us overcome setbacks that can stand in the way of achieving our goals.

From the double Olympic champion who is passionate about collaboration, to the James Bond Stuntman who has cultivated courage, to the Ironman athlete who harnessed the power of gratitude, each case study demonstrates how we can turn a pillar into a superpower. Illuminating and inspiring, The Ten Pillars of Success will give every listener a roadmap to reach their full potential.

Features interviews with: Dame Kelly Holmes, Maxine Peake, Sean Conway, Damian Hall, Emma Wiggs MBE, Caspar Berry, Bobby Holland Hanton, Drew McOnie, Lucy Gossage and Sara Pascoe.

Great interviews and the science.

kept me intrigued. A great mix of interviews with the science and stats to support what they were saying. Definitely worth listening to, Inorder to help maximize your success in life.

Easy listening, loads of nuggets of wisdom.

Like revisiting creat conversations with favorite teachers and friends. I will definitely listen to this book again!! From woodworking to grafting, this has been with me through a tough winter when my hands were occupied and I was in the perfect mood for such a book. I like that it was written and recorded through the pandemic, as well. Top timing. Thanks!

Good book

It was quite insightful and a good listen. It really made me think critically about my routines and interactions

Define Success Is Key

Nice book. I enjoyed it. Defining success is key to being successful. Most people spend little time thinking about why they want what they want and what it means when they achieve it

Performance psychology for all.

Having studied sport psychology as a part of my degree I’ve ways found it an interesting subject. The challenge is to find material that is neither severely academically challenging (pure text book,) nor a simplistic ‘how to guide’.

Taking themes of performance psychology and positioning them in real world settings across a range of settings makes this enjoyable, light hearted and accessible. Most importantly, not just for sports people! It seems obvious in hindsight but ‘performance’ can be found everywhere and these concepts are just as applicable in every setting. At work, on stage, even cooking dinner for your family.

This is a meta analysis that has been packaged for everyone to understand and, potentially, find something of themselves hidden inside.
Don’t read it if you want definitive answers. Do read it if you want to understand a little more about what makes people ‘tick’.
