For our Mind, Body, May book discussion, and in partnership with the Estes Park Salud Foundation, join host Chazz Glaze to discuss Do Hard Things by Steve Magness, a radical rethinking of how we perceive toughness and what it means to achieve our high ambitions in the face of hard things. Copies of the book are available for checkout at the first-floor service desk.

More about Do Hard Things

Toughness has long been held as the key to overcoming challenges and achieving greatness, whether on the sports field, in a boardroom, or at the dining room table. Yet the prevailing model has promoted a mentality of fear, false bravado, and the hiding of any sign of weakness. In other words, the old model of toughness has failed us.

Steve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, rebuilds our broken model of resilience with one grounded in the latest science and psychology. In Do Hard Things, Magness teaches us how to work with our bodies – how experiencing discomfort, leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action can be the true indicators of cultivating inner strength.

Smart and wise all at once, Magness flips the script on what it means to be resilient. Drawing from mindfulness, military case studies, sports psychology, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, he provides a roadmap for navigating life’s challenges and achieving high performance that makes us happier, more successful, and, ultimately, better people.
