The Ultra Mindset

De: Travis Macy, John Hanc

Narrado por: Brian Hutchison

Travis Macy has summited glacial peaks in the French Alps, rappelled into limestone caves in China, and raced through parched deserts in Utah. In 2013 he famously won the Leadman Series, a combination of nearly 300 miles of high-altitude trail running and mountain biking over the course of five epic endurance races. Macy achieved all of these victories without elite professional training or even exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility. His secret? A precise outlook he calls the "ultra mindset", a set of simple principles for daily life that includes embracing fear, rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, and mastering the art of asking for help.

By practicing these principles in all areas of life, anyone can successfully achieve goals that might have otherwise seemed impossible.

Inspiring get your butt in gear reading

Great story, a motivational and no nonsense story of Travis's life, how he continues to conquer new goals and inspired me to DO MORE
THANK YOU TRAVIS

Absolutely wonderful!

This is one of the most inspiring books I have read. It is rich with practical, applicable wisdom shared primarily through stories that are engaging, entertaining, and empowering. The chapters end with focused, practical steps and how-tos to apply the principles to your own life. I am not a runner, and certainly no adventure racer, but I found this book immensely helpful in my own journey (surviving medical school and heading towards residency).

10/10

Cannot recommend highly enough.

Great Stories, Yet Falls Short on Substance

Travis delivered crazy good stories, yet like the past 6 audible books, not enough practical substance/strategies the average person could take away.

practical advice to success in racing and life

Travis Macy has done a fine job boiling down the essential factors to reach your goals. Embrace fear, tell ourselves positive stories to keep motivation high, seek mentors and ask for help. Actionable sections follow each principle to keep you moving forward so you too can reach your highest potential. I highly recommend this audiobook! favorite quote "when you have no choice, anything is possible"

Good listen

This was a good listen for those training miles. It was a little slow in certain sections but the overall message was outstanding. Good listen for anyone who is looking for the mindset to take their game to the next level or achieve goals (athletic or non athletic). Keep focused and keep pushing.

Travis Macy has done it!

Travis has written a book that is just the right balance of vulnerable personal stories and pro advice. In this book Travis is humble, genuine, reflective and highly capable to guide you to a win in any life goal. on

Well Written and Motivating

Well written and applicable in almost every arena of life. Travis Macy did a fine job on this one. I left this feeling motivated and eager to tackle the next challenge.

Too ego driven for me.

Maybe that’s how you have to be to do ultras but this was a lot of ego and testosterone. The ultra mindset seems to be win win win no matter what the cost. It also seems so self centered. If this drive and mindset could be applied to helping the world I would be on board.

Hoped for more usable tips

Complete respect for the author's accomplishments, but was hoping for more info that could be applied to us mere mortals who are crazy enough to participate in ultra running.

A fantastic read for training, work, and life.

This is great for life and work. I think I will get hard copy as well to use as a reference for business and training.
