Research indicates that mental toughness can provide you with a unique and sustainable competitive advantage. This is complemented by the fact that neuropsychologists claim that being instinctively competitive is one of our survival mechanisms. However, this instinct alone doesn’t give us a unique and sustainable benefit in this modern era. Dr Steve Harris’s mental toughness model will expose you to an approach that will give you an upper hand; it combines with instinctive competitiveness, working in harmony with a competitive advantage that you already possess, enhancing it even further.

Assuming mental toughness is an area that will help you improve your performance, he is proposing a range of components that you could use to develop your mental toughness literacy, help you move in the direction of your dreams and, when necessary, punch above your weight. In many instances you will find that you know something or even a great deal about the components he is suggesting. However, despite this knowledge, you may not be doing enough with it. That is why he calls his book Mental Toughness – Mastering Your Mind, because it’s not enough that you know it – you need to convince your mind that you must do it as well. This book will help you achieve just that!
