""Take care of yourself." That was a text I had sent to my friend last week, reminding her to take time for herself after a pretty grueling week. You see, she was working on several major projects in her high-performance corporate job, and she was often working late into the evenings, frequently not leaving the office until after 8 p.m."
"If I'm being honest, part of me wanted to uncover how she had effectively coped with her work pressure; pressure that we all feel, regardless of our role. She'd eventually reveal that it came from her favorite book, which has now become my obsessive read of the week: "It Takes What It Takes" by the late Trevor Moawad, a mental conditioning and performance expert who had worked with the likes of NFL quarterback Russell Wilson."
A professional working late adopted the mantra "It takes what it takes" to cope with intense work demands. That mantra originated from Trevor Moawad's It Takes What It Takes, which centers on mental discipline across twelve chapters. The approach advocates training the mind to think neutrally rather than positively to achieve results. The book presents a blueprint emphasizing routine, studying successful predecessors, and accepting necessary actions to reach goals. It highlights the "illusion of choice" and argues that consistent disciplined habits produce outcomes. The guidance targets performance under pressure, offering practical methods to sustain focus and productivity during demanding periods.
