Description

Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance

How far can humans push themselves? What defines an individual's limits? Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., explores the science behind human endurance, revealing that our physical and psychological limits are intertwined. He presents a comprehensive overview of the latest research, from the most basic experiments to sophisticated brain imaging technology.

Through his own experiences as an elite distance runner, Hutchinson sheds light on the role of the brain in responding to distress signals, and shows how this knowledge can be applied to improve performance and get the most out of the body.
