In Win the Inside Game, performance scientist and author Steve Magness offers a new approach to achieving sustainable success. He explores the idea that excellence and fulfillment can go hand in hand, challenging the notion that we must sacrifice well-being in the pursuit of external validation. Magness suggests that when we tie our self-worth solely to our achievements and careers, it can lead to stress and a focus on self-protection, hindering our potential. Drawing on his experience as an Olympic coach, consultant, and expert on performance, as well as scientific research and case studies, Magness outlines a three-part framework for success: Be--Clarity on Who You Are, Do--Clarity in Your Pursuits, and Belong--Clarity on Where and How You Fit In -- Provided by publisher.
