Building Mental Resilience through Hardship
To develop lasting mental toughness, it is crucial to intentionally introduce hardship in everyday life. Former Navy SEAL David Goggins exemplifies this by participating in extreme races and pushing himself beyond his limits. He follows the 40% rule, which states that when your mind tells you to quit, you are likely only 40% done.
