Scars and Stripes
An Unapologetically American Story of Fighting the Taliban, UFC Warriors, and Myself
by Tim Kennedy and Nick Palmisciano
Tim Kennedy is a FASCINATING, inspiring human being. Imagine blending David Goggins and Jocko Willink and Nims Purja together then throwing them into a UFC ring and reading about their lives with a BRUTALLY honest magnifying glass on ALL the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s hard to put into words how compelling the book is but it’s REALLY good. Laugh-out-loud funny. Humbling. Inspiring. If you (or a loved one) enjoy great military and/or sports biographies, I think you’ll love it as much as I did. Although it’s a memoir, not a self-development book, it’s packed with Big Ideas and I’m excited to share some of my favorites so let’s jump straight in.

177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class
The Thought Processes, Habits and Philosophies of the Great Ones
I’m not sure exactly where I saw this book referenced. But, when I saw the title I figured it would be a good addition to our ever-growing collection of Notes on mental toughness books so I got it and here we are. Steve Siebold founded Mental Toughness University in 1986. He’s the author of a number of books and has worked with elite performers around the world for decades. As per the title, this book is PACKED with “177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class”/ “The Thought Processes, Habits, and Philosophies of the Great Ones.” I’m excited to share some of my favorite Big Ideas so let’s jump straight in!

Creating Your Best Life
The Ultimate Life List Guide
by Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP
Caroline Adams Miller is one of my favorite human beings on the planet. And... This book is one of my ALL-TIME favorite books. In fact, it’s at least tied for first as my all-time favorite positive psychology book. Caroline has a remarkable ability to make the basic science of well-being SUPER PRACTICAL and the density of TRULY PRACTICAL, SCIENTIFICALLY GROUNDED wisdom in this book is astonishing. Gary Latham wrote the foreword. As you may know, Dr. Latham (and his colleague Dr. Edwin Locke) are THE WORLD’s preeminent authorities on the science of goal setting. His two-page foreword in and of itself is amazing. He tells us: “This book is a ‘must read’ because it brings science to life—your life.” I agree. I highly recommend you check it out. As you can imagine, the book is PACKED with Big Ideas. It’s going to be tough to focus on just a handful of my favorite Big Ideas, so let’s get straight to work!

Areté
Activate Your Heroic Potential
by Brian Johnson and Michael Balchan
Areté. It’s the one-word answer the Stoics would give you if you asked them how to live a good life, the one-word summation of our philosophy at Heroic, and the title of Brian Johnson’s book featuring 451 ideas/chapters to help us activate our Heroic Potential. As you know if you’re familiar with Brian and his iconoclastic style, the book is a quick-reading, conversational, knock-your-socks-off-with-practical-wisdom masterpiece.

Pressure
Lessons from the Psychology of the Penalty Shootout
by Geir Jordet
Pressure. Every one of us feels it, but imagine the intense drama of a World Cup penalty kick—this is the heart of Geir Jordet's Pressure: Lessons from the Psychology of the Penalty Shootout. Jordet, a Professor in Psychology and Football at the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences, explains what happens in the high-pressure moments on the football field. With a special focus on those nerve-wracking penalty shootouts, he examines the psychological and physiological changes that players undergo. From his extensive experience advising over 130 professional players across major European leagues, Jordet reveals why some players thrive and others falter when everything is on the line. I read this book in one sitting—it's packed with Big Ideas on handling pressure not just in sports but in every walk of life. I’m excited to share some of my favorites so let’s jump straight in!
