An interesting read full of sport related examples of world cup winning, Olympic-gold standard athletes and the stories behind their journey to achieving their dreams. It is an insightful book, full of life lessons and puts a lot of things into perspective. People chase an illusion of what success is, but once they achieve it, all that follows is emptiness; this is a common theme in the book. Very thought provoking.

4 Stars.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing Plc for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The examples in this book are from the world of sport, but the lessons about thinking patterns, mindset and flow are applicable to everyone.

Simon Mundie's "Champion Thinking" is a masterful blend of sports anecdotes and life philosophy, making it a standout read for those interested in personal growth and emotional intelligence. As a sports reporter for BBC Radio 1, Mundie had a front-row seat to the highs and lows of sporting events, and he beautifully translates these experiences into lessons that apply to our daily lives.

The book's strength lies in its ability to connect with readers through relatable sporting stories and elevate these narratives to a more profound, philosophical level. The interviews with sports legends are engaging and insightful, offering a unique perspective on how the discipline and mindset of athletes can be applied to personal development.

One particularly resonant quote from the book, "It’s important to remember that our thoughts about other people, based on the status they have been conferred or what they have achieved, are not reflective of reality," speaks volumes about the societal pressures of success and achievement. This book challenges readers to rethink their definitions of success and find contentment in the present.

Mundie's conversational and interactive writing style makes "Champion Thinking" a pleasure to read. It's as if he's right there with you, discussing and dissecting these profound life lessons. This book is not just for sports lovers but for anyone looking to find balance and contentment in their lives while still pursuing their goals.

Overall, "Champion Thinking" is a thought-provoking and insightful read that combines the thrill of sports with the depth of life's lessons—a definite recommendation for anyone on the journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an electronic ARC in exchange for my honest review.
