One of the recurring themes of this book is how to "outsmart" one's one's own brain--winning the argument when your internal voice tells you to give up. The stories in this book will not only keep you on the edge of your seat, but they'll become part of your own inner voice in powerful ways.I've been surprised at how often the lessons from The Ultra Mindset have suddenly popped into my own head, just when I needed them. While going out for a trail run the other day, my inner voice started telling me to slow down and take it easy, since I wasn't feeling 100%. But quickly another voice joined the conversation, drawing from Mindset 1, and chanting "It's all good mental training." My attitude quickly shifted from trying to weasel out early, into pushing harder, and running 50% longer than I had planned.Being a working father of two, the lessons about time management from this book really struck a chord with me. Particularly Mindset 6: "The 4:30 a.m Rule". Sometimes having a full day of work, exercise, and quality time with the family means committing to waking up obscenely early to get things done. Before reading this book, I would often talk myself out of it right after my alarm went off. But now I've got another mantra to counter that voice--"you've already committed ahead of time, so there's no choice to make" and I spring out of bed, ready to face the day.As I enter a new chapter of my professional life, I've battled with "Impostor Syndrome," worrying that "I don't belong here - I don't deserve this." And when I found myself flip-flopping between the choice of sticking with my safe well-known position, or accepting something much more challenging and full of unknowns, Mindset 4 "Have an ego and use it" helped push me over the edge. I was able to summon strength from my ego instead of being afraid of it, and confidently march forward into the unknown.The most amazing thing is that I never once had to try to recall these lessons, or force my mind into Ultra Mindset mode. These stories and lessons have become part of my inner narrative. I've never said with all seriousness before that a book has changed my life, until now.

Being an endurance athlete, I knew I had to pick up this book when my mom recommended it to me. John and Travis do a great job telling Trav's story and explaining how Trav developed the mental fortitude required to compete in some of the hardest races in the world. While most of the ideas aren't particularly new, Trav has a unique way of phrasing his mental training concepts that is new, refreshing, and engaging. I would definitely recommend this book to any endurance athlete!

Das Buch ist sehr empfehlenswert. Besonders gefällt mir die persönliche Art des Autors sich mit Beispielen aus seinem Leben zu reflektieren.Travis Macy bietet auch eine Ultra Mindset Academy an (8 Wochen Kurs), um die Kapitel des Buches durchzuarbeiten.

Macy writes a lot about his adventures which is eye opening in itself. I have ear marked the pages where he has set challenges and exercises to try so I can come back to them once I have finished the book.I like there are some new ideas rather than just the same old same old advice others give.

Ideally when reading you should be willing to pause and start on the exercises. Some of the exercises and notes are simple and should be effective in most people's lives

For anyone wanting to get the very best from themselves. Travis has dedicated his life to doing just that and shares his mindset, stories and lessons. A great addition to my library of running/ endurance related books!

Great stories from a legendary athlete. Each chapter has a essentially a psychological self improvement task and tips which are useful
