The ultimate guide to mental toughness by James ‘Iron Cowboy’ Lawrence – the greatest endurance athlete in human history.
In 2015, Lawrence set his third Guinness World Record by completing fifty full-distance triathlons in fifty states in fifty consecutive days – a 2.4 mile swim, 112 miles on a bike, then a 26.2 mile run, all in under seventeen hours each day. Pushing himself further, in 2021 at the age of forty-five he set out to complete one hundred triathlons in one hundred days - a challenge so difficult that he wondered if he would survive it. By persevering, he hoped to inspire people to do the same for whatever difficulties they may be going through.
Lawrence has subjected his body to exhaustive physical testing, to every genetic analysis known to science. The stunning discovery is that, physically, he is unspecial in every way. The secret to his bulletproof body is his bulletproof mentality.
Vividly describing how how he got through the 100 triathlons, and including practical advice for achieving your goals, in this life-changing book he reveals how to:Say yes to opportunitiesDevelop confidenceOvercome obstacles holding you backForge an iron will by making and keeping small promisesFoster hope and resilience
Page by page, point by point, Iron Hope shows you how to reach for your dreams, whatever they are and accomplish big things.
