The First Rule of Mastery

My dear friend Rear Admiral Daryle D. Cardone told me I needed to get this book. I follow orders from the Admiral, so I got it, loved it, and here we are. Michael Gervais is one of the most respected peak performance psychologists in the world, and as Angela Duckworth says, he brings the perfect blend of straight talk, science, and practical advice to the question that quietly constricts so many lives: why do you care so much about what other people think, and what do you do about it? The answer starts with naming the invisible force that limits your potential: FOPO, the Fear Of People’s Opinions. This book is a powerful reminder that the antidote to FOPO is not pretending you do not care, it’s caring deeply about others while trusting yourself enough to live in alignment with your purpose, then building a life that is bigger than your need for approval. Big Ideas we explore include FOPO, Your Self-Worth, The Antidote to FOPO, Bigger Than You, and What Will You Regret?
