About this book
What if the difference between thriving under pressure and breaking under it has nothing to do with talent, and everything to do with which state you're in?Deri has stood on the shifting face of Everest, crawled through the sand of the Marathon des Sables, and crossed Ironman finish lines on legs that had nothing left to give. Along the way, he discovered something that changed how he leads: peak performance isn't a personality trait, it's a state, and states can be trained. Ultra States fuses hard-won expedition stories with the neuroscience of human performance into a practical system for entering, and moving between, the states that separate the people who fold from the people who finish.Inside, you'll learn:How to build the six foundations: the intentional, electrical, chemical, physical, psychological, and spiritual dials that determine which state you drop into under pressureHow to enter Ultra Flow on command, instead of waiting for it to arrive by accidentWhy recovery is a performance tool, not a retreat from ambition and how Ultra Recovery and Ultra Reboot protect the edge you've builtHow to move between states and the transition mastery that keeps elite performers steady when everything around them is notHow individual mastery becomes collective advantage and why the leaders who can help a whole team find rhythm together will define the next era of performancePart memoir, part field manual, Ultra States is a map for anyone who has ever wanted to be fully present, fully prepared, and fully themselves, on demand, rather than by accident.
