Unashamedly Superhuman: Harness Your Inner Power and Achieve Your Greatest Professional and Personal Goals, With Award-Winning Author & Speaker, Jim Steele

Key Takeaways

The label of “Superhuman” is often reserved for a privileged few, and can feel a little unrelatable at times. But we all have that potential inside us.
No one ever instinctually believes that they are working to their full potential. We inherently know that we can always do better.
Specialists in endurance train their people to reward themselves through self-administering dopamine, a technique known as “thin slice recognition”. It’s about rewarding yourself each step of the way and not using the distant end goal as the prize.
When you enter a mindfulness practice, you build and develop centres of the brain that cause you to recruit the focus circuits. When you go into your day, you will find that this helps you to feel less distracted.
