This book captures the magic of being in flow . . . Highly recommend' RONNIE O'SULLIVAN 'The
perfect motivational read at the dawn of a new year' DAILY EXPRESS 'Entertaining and
enlightening' MATTHEW SYED 'Simon has looked into something we actually all know or at least
once did - the ability to live life more in the now' JASON FOX Simon Mundie host of the A New
Way of Being podcast draws on interviews with some of the world's sporting legends to redefine
how we understand - and pursue - success through 8 key lessons. As the sports reporter for BBC
Radio 1 for the best part of a decade Simon Mundie was pitch-side at many of the most
high-profile sporting events in history. It was often thrilling but the emphasis always seemed
to be on results tactics and the score. But as the saying goes sport is a metaphor for life -
so Simon set out to explore that. Drawing on interviews with sporting legends from Jonny
Wilkinson to Kate Richardson-Walsh Caitlyn Jenner to Goldie Sayers along with psychologists
philosophers and world-renowned thinkers Simon shares some of the tools and techniques that
sportspeople have embraced to grow and evolve. From developing emotional intelligence to the
power of true acceptance and the joy of getting in flow he explores eight universal themes
that are highlighted in sport but that are all too easily overlooked. What can the careers of
Gaël Monfils and Andy Murray teach us about exploring our potential? What can England's Olympic
gold-medal winning hockey team teach us about the power of being truly selfless? Wise and
inspiring Champion Thinking illustrates that the contentment we are all looking for isn't
somewhere ?out there' - it's actually so close that we tend to overlook it. 'The intention
behind this book is beautiful and I highly recommend it' RUPERT SPIRA 'Mundie understands
something most of us discover eventually: that the pursuit of sporting excellence is the best
guide we have to what it means to be human' AMOL RAJAN
