Becoming Tough
About this ebook
Become Tough?
The answer proposed in Becoming Tough is, “Whatever kind
of toughness you seek, it is achieved in the same way as any skill, through
practice and study, that is, through training.”
To that end, Becoming Tough presents exercises whose
outstanding feature is their use of simple repetitive movements to facilitate
concentration. Because a long-lasting physical activity is easier to sustain
than a long lasting mental task, the poorer one’s ability to concentrate, the
more important this assistance becomes. Physical fitness is a significant
by-product, not only because it improves physical health but also because it
encourages social confidence and self-esteem. Another exceptional feature is a toughening
program that addresses the user’s long-term aspirations for change as well
as immediate concerns without interfering with personal beliefs that the user
does not wish to change.

simplicity

use of repetitive movements to assist

long-term concerns
