Winning: The Unforgiving Race to Greatness

Disciplines:
self-help
psychology/sports psychology

Summary

Tim Grover's follow-up to Relentless — a more fully developed account of the winning mindset and its implications for business, sports, and life.

Core Contribution

Winning as a mindset and commitment, not an outcome: the willingness to pay any price for excellence. The 'dark side' of winning: the qualities that produce extraordinary success are antisocial by normal standards — obsession, ruthlessness, unwillingness to accept limitation. A deliberate counter-narrative to the 'work-life balance' and 'growth mindset' literature.
