Mindset, and more specifically cultivating the right mindset, is a term that's been thrown around a great deal in relation to high performance. When sports stars fail to perform, their mindset is often under the spotlight. When people react negatively to a situation, it's their mindset that's questioned. What about you? Do you ever question your own mindset?

Do you even beat yourself up for having the “wrong” mindset? This part of the book explores our mindsets in detail (spoiler: we have more than one!) and look at how tapping into the right one at the right time enhances our performance and our wellbeing.

It certainly feels magical when you're in flow, but tapping into and maintaining it is within your control. All you need are some strategies and performance hacks to help you on your way.

When we can do this, we're on our way to becoming our own version of Unashamedly Superhuman. We can have increased confidence and improved mental focus if we simply structure our thinking in the right way.
