Wow, I. love. this. book. To start, it's such a digestible read. I find that so often with non-fiction books, you have to suffer through them to get the learnings. AHPM is wonderful - the authors' story and everything he's been through is so moving and inspiring, and there's also so many hilarious anecdotes. It's really approachable. And there's SO many beautiful life lessons and mental hacks. We're all guilty of negative self talk and being our own harshest critics. HPM provides SUCH a refreshing perspective and great advice on how to approach the lows in life and learn from them, accomplish goals, and be more resilient. It's like a training program for your mind. I feel super inspired and motivated after finishing it, I can see myself re-reading this book many times. Give this to someone who really wants to accomplish a goal, they will 100% benefit from it!—AC

“A High Performing Mind is a really great resource for anyone who is looking for actionable ways to meet their goals. For me, the most helpful parts of AHPM are when Andrew describes how to overcome the common ways that we self-sabotage on the path to success. The book includes stories from Andrew’s personal and professional experience that show how his strategies have worked IRL and also make the book a really fun read. I’ve read quite a few business and self-help books and AHPM sets itself apart because its guidance is easy to understand and apply in your own life. I’d recommend reading this book and think it would make a great gift for anyone in your life, especially new grads, athletes, entrepreneurs… 5 stars and excited for Andrew Thompson’s next book!” —SW
