The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.

A scientific but approachable book with loads of swearing

Lots of sound explanations on the mental side of triathlons and indeed life. At times it felt like the narrators were talking to you personally. It has spurred me on with my late in life foray into triathlon.
Let’s hope Tony paid back the $1500 and became Margaret.

There is no simple strategic method for dealing with the multidimensional nature of digital change. Even the sharpest leaders can become disoriented as change builds on change, leaving almost nothing certain. Yet to stand still is to fail. Enterprises and leaders must remaster themselves to succeed. Leaders must identify the key macro forces then lead their organizations at three distinct levels: industry, enterprise, and self. By doing this they can not only survive but clean up.

Practical how-to guide on digital transformation
Reviewed: 03-05-2019
I really, really enjoyed this book. Instead of being theoretical, it is very practical. It is pitched at large, cumbersome organisations, who want to be like Google, but are never going to be. Instead, it explains how any organisation can digitally remaster in order to survive and thrive.
The digital conversation today is dominated by Technology teams and to a lesser extent, the Marketing department. Which is possibly why organisations are finding transformation so difficult. This explains what organisations must do, from the Board down, if they are going to make it in the new world.
It took me a while to get past the Babalot tennis example - who cares I thought. Oh how wrong I was. This was a great example of how if an old, established tennis racket company can use data to transform, then so can anyone. It also shows the scarily huge potential of the IoT.
Data might be the new oil and analytics the combustion engine, but this my friends is the instruction manual.
