Synopsis

Performed by Trevor Moawad with a foreword written and read by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson
From a top mental conditioning coach—""the world’s best brain trainer” (Sports Illustrated)—who has transformed the lives and careers of elite athletes, business leaders, and military personnel, battle-tested strategies that will give you tools to manage and overcome negativity and achieve any goal.
He knows how to win. More, he knows the many ways-subtle, brutal, often self-inflicted-we lose. As the most trusted mental coach in the world of sports, Trevor Moawad has worked with many of the most dominant athletes and the savviest coaches. From Nick Saban and Kirby Smart to Russell Wilson, they all look to Moawad for help finding or keeping or regaining their competitive edge. (As do countless business leaders and members of special forces.) Now, at last, Moawad shares his unique philosophy with the general public. He lays out lessons he's derived from his greatest career successes as well as personal setbacks, the game-changing wisdom he's earned as the go-to whisperer for elite performers on fields of play and among men and women headed to the battlefield. Moawad's motivational approach is elegant but refreshingly simple: He replaces hardwired negativity, the kind of defeatist mindset that's nearly everybody's default, with what he calls ""neutral thinking."" His own special innovation, it's a nonjudgmental, nonreactive way of coolly assessing problems and analyzing crises, a mode of attack that offers luminous clarity and supreme calm in the critical moments before taking decisive action. Not only can neutral thinking raise your performance level-it can transform your overall life. And it all starts, Moawad says, with letting go. Past failures, past losses-let them go. ""The past isn't predictive. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything changes. You'll instantly feel more calm. And the athlete-or employee or parent or spouse-who's more calm is also more aware, and more times than not ... will win.""Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Goodreads review by Danny on September 05, 2020

Oh folks...I wanted to like this book. As someone who loves how Russell Wilson approaches football and life, I wanted to really unlock the secrets of the guru he considers indispensable. What I got instead (outside of a plea for neutral thinking), was a glimpse at the life of a professional mindset......more

Goodreads review by Cav on February 26, 2024

"People aren’t defined by the past unless they choose to live there..." It Takes What It Takes was excellent. I first heard about the author from his recent appearance on Tom Bilyeu's YouTube channel, which I really enjoyed. I was extremely saddened to hear that Trevor recently passed away from cance......more

Goodreads review by Carol on March 16, 2022

Great premise, and excellent actionable tips. The content starts off strong. The main points come in the first half of the book. Neutral thinking makes sense when explained vs positive or negative thinking. The storytelling is well-written and interesting. However, the latter portions didn’t illumin......more

Goodreads review by Brig on March 03, 2020

Positive thinking not working? Negative throught spirals the enemy? Insert, Trevor and his clear, accessible, and relatable perspective on every day success. Success is built brick-by-brick. Choices are the bricks and mindset is mortar. Laying one brick, with the correct mortar, and then the next is......more

Goodreads review by Aaron on July 13, 2020

A series of cliches with a pinch of braggadocious stories binding them. Trevor Moawad seems like he could be an interesting guy, but communicates like he only has access to a sound panel of platitudes, to be repeated until you're almost convinced you've learned something new. There's almost somethin......more
