Jim Iuorio spent 39 years on a trading floor. Bobby Iaccino once broke his golf clubs in half and threw them in a lake because he couldn't handle being bad at something. Both admit they beat themselves up constantly to perform better. Dr. Steven Sideroff, a UCLA clinical psychologist and peak performance researcher, says they've had it completely backwards.
Sideroff, who has published research describing stress as "the master hallmark of aging," explains why traders and high performers become neurologically wired to crave stress, why beating yourself up actually undermines performance instead of improving it, and why the body can only operate in one of two modes at a time: defend-and-protect or heal-and-grow.
They also get into the nine pillars of his resilience model, how the emotional state of people around you can physically alter your own brainwave patterns, and practical tools for sleep, recovery, and breaking automatic stress patterns that no longer serve you.
