As a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization, Jim Murphy’s sense of worth revolved around his performance. He was focused on achievement but also was afraid of failure. When he started coaching professional and Olympic athletes, he often encountered the same mindset. He became obsessed with learning how the best in the world performed with poise under pressure.
After years of research, interviews, and writing, Murphy had a revelatory insight: The pursuit of extraordinary performance and the pursuit of the best possible life are the same path. Murphy learned that the very best athletes compete for competition’s sake. Winning might still result, but it’s never the goal.
True fulfillment comes not through achievements and possessions, but in seeking enriching experiences and meaningful relationships.
