What Peak Performance Really Demands

Greatness doesn’t come with a tidy checklist. In Winning: The Unforgiving Race to Greatness, performance coach Tim Grover—whose clients included Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade—explores the fear, focus, and “good selfishness” required to stay at the top. Then Steven Kotler offers a complementary playbook in The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer, showing how motivation, learning, creativity, and flow can turn seemingly unreachable goals into repeatable progress. Together, they reveal that peak performance is less about following a formula than training yourself to meet the next challenge. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at⁠ ⁠nextbigideaclub.com⁠⁠ ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
