WANTED: Motivation, Fitness, Inspiration, Self-help...etc.

[Dstaufderson]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to reach out to this community to see if any readers had recommendations for non-fiction books (or audio books) focusing on any of the following topics: Motivation, positive self-talk, mental mastery, overcoming adversity, developing good habits, positive thinking specifically from a physical fitness/sporting view point. If the author has any military training would also be an added plus.

I have tackled a few that hit the mark:
Can't Hurt Me: Master your Mind and Defy Odds by David Goggins
Resilience by Eric Greitens
Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

Any books similar to the 3 listed above would be ideal!

Thank-you so much for everyone's time!

I have never read the book about the life of Bethany Hamilton, but I have seen the movie and I think the book would definitely match your search descriptions! She lives in Hawaii and when surfing a shark bit off her arm. But she stayed positive and overcoming all odds she got back up again and is an amazing surfer (and now a wife and mom)!

I have just read The Secrets to a Fantastic Life. It has changed my perspective on life. I love the book, quite inspiring.

Oh Yes! I have seen her on TV before. That is a great suggestion, I will look into her story for sure. Thank-you !

I actually just got my hands on this book and am about a 1/3 of the way in. So far I am really loving it as well! I am happy to hear it really worked for you! Thank-you for the recommendation!
