Summary

Travis Macy has summited glacial peaks in the French Alps, rappelled into limestone caves in China, and raced through parched deserts in Utah. In 2013 he famously won the Leadman Series, a combination of nearly 300 miles of high-altitude trail running and mountain biking over the course of five epic endurance races. Macy achieved all of these victories without elite professional training or even exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility. His secret? A precise outlook he calls the "ultra mindset", a set of simple principles for daily life that includes embracing fear, rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, and mastering the art of asking for help.

By practicing these principles in all areas of life, anyone can successfully achieve goals that might have otherwise seemed impossible.

Mediocre

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Oh dear. I wanted to really like this book, but having finished it, I can't really remember what it was about at all. It's part auto-biographical, part "how-to" manual, but doesn't really work on either level.

What was most disappointing about Travis Macy and John Hanc ’s story?

I find that I have very little in common with Travis - It just didn't connect with me.

Did The Ultra Mindset inspire you to do anything?

Find another book to listen it? Maybe that's a bit harsh, but there are many far better reads out there.

well worth a listen

This is a book written by a guy who has been there and done it with bells on. He offers practical insights into why an ultra mindset can be applied and be extremely useful in day to day life.

One of the best things I’ve listened to!

One awesome listen! It’s not going to leave you with a mind set of woohoo! But there is an honest truth about how you can not only achieve what you want, but to be honest with your self and be who you really are!

Can’t thank him enough for writing this book!

A truly inspiring book. Travis talks of great techniques that I have been able to apply to my own training. A great tale of grit and determination. Loved it.

Tough listen

Think a possible average book with very few principles was taken below par by the narration. A tough listen - but more about the Travis Macy career than principles of an ultra mindset. Maybe just a wrong title for the book; but wanted more from this.
