Champion your thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself with Simon Mundie

03/11/24 • 53 min

Joining me today is the multi-talented broadcaster, author, and host of The Life Lessons Podcast, Simon Mundie. For nearly a decade, Simon's been bringing us the stories of sporting legends on BBC Radio 4, Today program & BBC TV. Using sport as a parallel to life, he's now sharing important insights in his outstanding new book, "Champion Thinking: How to Find Success Without Losing Yourself."

Imagine learning from icons like Jonny Wilkinson, Will Carling, Roger Federer, and Emma Raducanu alongside world-renowned thinkers and psychologists. Simon reveals the mindset shifts these champions experienced in reaching the top of their game.

Simon is down-to-earth, wise and a brilliant conversationalist who is passionate about what sports can teach us about life. We discuss the emptiness that can linger even after winning, recognising that success and identity are illusions, redefining and finding success without sacrificing who you are, the power of acceptance, and how present moment awareness and flow states are perhaps key to finding lasting peace and fulfilment.

Grab your headphones and get ready to champion your thinking!
