Today on the Limitless Athlete Podcast, you'll be listening to a conversation between myself and Stoic author/commentator, William B. Irvine.
Stoicism is an essential tool I deploy every single day in every area of my life and training is no different.
I found Bill through Sam Harris' app, Waking Up, and found his book The Stoic Challenge exceptionally helpful. So why are we exploring Stoicism (philosophy) when we're discussing mindset and athleticism?
First, most athletes are lacking mental toughness & Stoicism provides an antidote to that. Second, this will get you taking action on success, not just wishing it. Additionally, it will teach you an essential skill called Framing.
We also discuss
- Overcoming setbacks
- Adding meaning to suffering
- Anger and how it will destroy your gains
- When negative emotions stopped being helpful
- And maybe most importantly: Why failing is the missing ingredient in your success
