In “Do Hard Things,” Steve Magness challenges us to redefine toughness and how to build resilience. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to improve their performance, whether it’s in sports, academics, or any other area of life.
Magness is a renowned coach and exercise physiologist who has worked with some of the world’s top athletes, including Olympic gold medalists and world champions. He draws on his experience to explain the science behind performance and how we can apply it to our own lives.
The insights into Self Determination Theory is particularly interesting, especially when applied to people looking to transition to a four day work week. Self Determination Theory posits that our motivation to engage in any activity is driven by three innate psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Magness highlights how these three needs are essential to achieving success in any area of life. He emphasizes that we must be self-motivated, competent, and connected to others in order to accomplish our goals. A four day work week may enhances these three needs and have a higher chance of success.
Overall, “Do Hard Things” is a well-written and inspiring book that will help you to push beyond your limitations and achieve your full potential. Magness’s insights into performance and his practical advice for improvement make this book a valuable resource for anyone who wants to excel in their chosen field.
