Mental Toughness: The Path to Extraordinary Success

by Larry J. Koenig, Max Davis (Foreword)

There are zillions of books on success so why in the world would we need another one? And, if we did, it would have to be one that was extraordinary; one that would actually, for real, make a difference in an individual’s success journey. Otherwise, forget-about-it!But, hold on a minute! Dr. Koenig’s book passes this tough test. He lays out the exact strategies a person can use to achieve big, elusive goals. Best of all he lays out a powerful plan that shows a person exactly how to persevere despite really tough challenges; things like PARALYZING CALL RELUCTANCE, HOPE BUSTING FAILURE and AVALANCHES of ADVERSITY.The major premise of Mental Toughness is that while perseverance is necessary to achieve audacious goals, a person can get knocked off the path to success by all kinds of obstacles. When plans get wrecked, a person needs the mental toughness necessary to get back on track and stay in the game regardless of the challenges. Dr. Koenig does an exceptional job of showing the reader how to develop this kind of mind set.In sum, what is really good about this book are the strategies that anyone can use to build their mental toughness; the kind of mental toughness that is required to achieve big goals. And, along the way the author treats you to unforgettable stories; the kind that alter your mood and propel you past formidable barriers.
