“The most successful people are those who are mentally tough. They choose thoughts that biologically improve their quality of life. In this book, you will learn to achieve what you never imagined; and when things do go wrong, you will know how to deal with them simply and effectively.”
– Dr. Jason Selk
Our guest today is Dr. Jason Selk. Twenty years ago, he set out to combine what he knew about cognitive neuroscience, brain chemistry, and human performance to create a training method to show people exactly how to develop mental toughness. After years of research with clinical patients and having worked with thousands of people considered “the best,” he developed Relentless Solution Focus (RSF). It’s a three-step process that has since been proven to help people win World Series, Super-Bowls, National Championships, Olympic gold medals, and increase business productivity by up to 30 percent year over year.
In today’s podcast Jason discusses his book and how mentally tough people choose the thoughts that cause them to take actions that lead to positive outcomes.
Topics include:
How our developmental biology relates to our ability to perform, works against us, and what we can do about it.
Why anyone (at any stage of life) can use the same skills that elite athletes employ to up their game.
Why talking about a problem doesn’t help you to solve it.
Why multitasking is bad and focusing on just one thing to improve is so important.
Why every evaluation should start with the positive and not the negative.
Why adopting a relentlessly solution focused approach will not only lead to success, but will also extend your life.
Dr. Jason Selk, author of RELENTLESS SOLUTION FOCUS, is one of the nation’s premier performance coaches, has worked with business titans and superstar athletes. As Director of Mental Training for the St. Louis Cardinals, he played an important role in the team’s first World Series victory in more than twenty years in 2006, and their second in 2011.
