Summary

Sport psychologist Dr Josephine Perry spends her life working with exceptional performers. She has identified ten psychological pillars that the ultra-successful have ingrained within their approach. And the good news is that we can all learn these mental building blocks. 

In this book you’ll hear those who have excelled in their field discussing their route to success and learn how you can emulate them. A sense of belonging, mastery, autonomy, purpose, confidence, process, courage, optimism, internal insight or gratitude – all these skills can be vital in helping us overcome setbacks that can stand in the way of achieving our goals. 

From the double Olympic champion who is passionate about collaboration, to the James Bond Stuntman who has cultivated courage, to the Ironman athlete who harnessed the power of gratitude, each case study demonstrates how we can turn a pillar into a superpower. Illuminating and inspiring, The Ten Pillars of Success will give every listener a roadmap to reach their full potential.

Features interviews with: Dame Kelly Holmes, Maxine Peake, Sean Conway, Damian Hall, Emma Wiggs MBE, Caspar Berry, Bobby Holland Hanton, Drew McOnie, Lucy Gossage and Sara Pascoe.

100% worth a listen

Really enjoyed this thanks team Audible 👍🙏
Thought one or 2 of the interviews were a little toe curling especially the actress going on about her craft ! It’s acting not really that important.
Overall superb content and found it rather inspiring

Steered me on the right track

I loved it so much. Helping my feel more optimisic and process driven. It spurred me to take up running again and enjoy the process. This will be my go to book for when I hit a hump. I'll be sure to buy it when it is in print. Huge thank you!

One of the Best.

motivational books I've come across. There's a good mix of information about why we do what we do and what we can do. Along with interviews with people who have faced and overcome these hurdles.

So much to takeaway from this book

Absolutely loved this. Josephine has a lovely voice to listen to and the interviewees were brilliant. The whole book resonated in so many ways and had so many takeaways that I wish I could have a hard copy to scribble on and highlight.

I will definitely be listening to it again.

Brilliant and helpful – listen this book

I loved this great, helpful, brilliant and tragically underrated book – 

Perry is a sports psychologist, so a lot of her case studies and interviews are with athletes, but I found everything just as applicable to me (I'm a writer) – 

She outlines 10 excellent and doable strategies to improve your production and well-being and does it in a calm, clear and practical manner.

While other gurus yell at you and make outlandish claims, Perry sits down with you and discusses with you the things that she knows work and how and why you should implement them in your life.

I took notes while I read (actually I listened to the audio version) and refer to them often (but not enough!) – 
I recommend that you do that too. This is a book everyone should read who wants to improve their performance in any area of their lives.
