Introduction: How we got toughness wrong and where to go -- From tough coaches, tough parents, and tough guys to finding real inner strength -- Sink or swim: how we took the wrong lesson from the military -- The first pillar of toughness: Ditch the facade, embrace reality. Accept what you are capable of -- True confidence is quiet; insecurity is loud -- Know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em -- The second pillar of toughness: Listen to your body. Your emotions are messengers, not dictators -- Own the voice in your head -- The third pillar of toughness: Respond instead of react. Keep your mind steady -- Turning the dial so you don't spiral -- The fourth pillar of toughness: Transcend discomfort. Build the foundation to do hard things -- Find meaning in discomfort. |
