Leseprobe Mind Shift #0: Change Your Mind Some people are simply structured for failure. I will never forget the moment I heard those words as I was driving through downtown Dallas listening to sports radio. Though the host was trying to explain what had happened the day before in the boxing world, the words have haunted me ever since. Eight months earlier, Buster Douglas had erupted onto the boxing scene by knocking out the undefeated world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Like Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman before him, Tyson was a heavyweight who defined boxing for a generation. For fans of the sport, he represented the most devastating, ferocious, and terrifying fighter who ever walked into a ring. Tyson didn't simply defeat his opponents; he destroyed them. Only two years earlier, he had beaten then champion Michael Spinks by knocking him out in the first round. Tyson's last opponent before Douglas had made it only ninety-one seconds before a vicious left hook dropped him to the mat. The fight between Douglas and Tyson took place in Tokyo, Japan, with Tyson a 42-to-1 favorite not only to defeat Buster Douglas but to render him unconscious. The outcome of this contest seemed inevitable. Except, of course, no one told Buster Douglas that it was impossible for him to win. After ten rounds of holding his own against the most dangerous man in the world, Douglas did the unthinkable. He knocked Mike Tyson out and walked away with three world heavyweight belts. N...

“Erwin McManus is the most brilliant thinker I’ve ever met.”—fourteen-time bestselling author Jon Gordon

Throughout his thirty years of work as a mindset expert and leadership coach, Erwin Raphael McManus has been obsessed with these questions: Why do some people succeed despite having all the odds stacked against them? How do others achieve the unthinkable, only to watch their lives slip away? Are there mental structures for failure and success?

McManus has come to realize that too many of us have “near-life” experiences. We almost pursue our dreams. We almost make the decision that changes everything. We are always one choice away. If we want to live without regret, we need to make a mind shift—trading beliefs that limit our potential for ones that help us move toward optimal performance and pursue the success of being fully alive. We must move from a life of obligation to a life of intention.

In Mind Shift, McManus brings together twelve mental frameworks that have helped some of the most accomplished people on earth create internal structures of success. Among them:

• You have to choose between acceptance and uniqueness. If you are addicted to affirmation, you will become what others want you to be rather than who you were created to become.
• You don’t need an audience. It’s what you do in private that makes you who you are.
• Talent is a hallucinogen. It will make you believe that hard work and discipline are for everyone else.

Sharing experiences from entrepreneurs, artists, professional athletes, and his own career, McManus shows us how to transform our thinking—and, in turn, transform our lives.
