Summary

As runners, we’re always trying to go faster or further because those metrics demonstrate how successful we are. But in his new book, "Win the Inside Game: How to Move from Surviving to Thriving, and Free Yourself Up to Perform," Steve Magness argues that when we measure our worth by our achievements, it backfires, preventing us from reaching our full potential.
