About this listen

Travis Macy has summited glacial peaks in the French Alps, rappelled into limestone caves in China, and raced through parched deserts in Utah. In 2013 he famously won the Leadman Series, a combination of nearly 300 miles of high-altitude trail running and mountain biking over the course of five epic endurance races. Macy achieved all of these victories without elite professional training or even exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility. His secret? A precise outlook he calls the "ultra mindset", a set of simple principles for daily life that includes embracing fear, rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, and mastering the art of asking for help.

By practicing these principles in all areas of life, anyone can successfully achieve goals that might have otherwise seemed impossible.

A truly inspiring book. Travis talks of great techniques that I have been able to apply to my own training. A great tale of grit and determination. Loved it.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Oh dear. I wanted to really like this book, but having finished it, I can't really remember what it was about at all. It's part auto-biographical, part "how-to" manual, but doesn't really work on either level.

What was most disappointing about Travis Macy and John Hanc ’s story?

I find that I have very little in common with Travis - It just didn't connect with me.

Did The Ultra Mindset inspire you to do anything?

Find another book to listen it? Maybe that's a bit harsh, but there are many far better reads out there.

This is one of my first books about an athlete and their mindset. I loved it. I found it relatable and applicable to everyday life. It has changed my mindset about the resilience and grit. It was so good I've followed it up with the paperback version so I can dip into bits again easily. I am trying to adopt it as our "family philosophy" and encourage my kids to think more like this especially when the going gets tough!

Love this philosophy
