What does it take to go from good to great? Step up at work, in sports, and at home with this “transfixing book on how to sustain peak performance and avoid burnout” (Adam Grant).
A few common principles drive performance, regardless of the field or the task at hand. Whether someone is trying to qualify for the Olympics, break ground in mathematical theory or craft an artistic masterpiece, many of the practices that lead to great success are the same. In Peak Performance, Brad Stulberg, a former McKinsey and Company consultant and writer who covers health and the science of human performance, and Steve Magness, a performance scientist and coach of Olympic athletes, team up to demystify these practices and demonstrate how you can achieve your best.
The first book of its kind, Peak Performance combines the inspiring stories of top performers across a range of capabilities—from athletic to intellectual and artistic—with the latest scientific insights into the cognitive and neurochemical factors that drive performance in all domains. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers new linkages that hold promise as performance enhancers but have been overlooked in our traditionally- siloed ways of thinking. The result is a life-changing book in which you can learn how to enhance your performance via myriad ways including: optimally alternating between periods of intense work and rest; priming the body and mind for enhanced productivity; and developing and harnessing the power of a self-transcending purpose.
In revealing the science of great performance and the stories of great performers across a wide range of capabilities, Peak Performance uncovers the secrets of success, and coaches you on how to use them. If you want to take your game to the next level, whatever "your game" may be, Peak Performance will teach you how.

      Narrator Christopher Lane's first few sentences sound so powerful that it takes a moment to shift one's attention to this audiobook's rich message. But once listeners start connecting with that message, they'll find his relaxed pace and total comfort with his craft perfect for the authors' advice. They looked at the best performers in athletics, the arts, and intellectual endeavors, who shared lessons from neuroscience and performance physiology regarding personal achievement. Avoiding overwork and managing stress and insecurity, these top performers learned to alternate rest and effort and train so effectively that their skills became locked in, enabling them to transcend the tension of the performance moment. The audio is a perfect blend of an exceptional performance, fluid writing, and well-organized expertise. T.W.
