Before we get started, let me tell you you can now listen to high performance ad free.

If someone's not in a good place, anything can touch them. I wanted to say I'm not in a troop, I'm not in the jungle.

I'm a human being in a society and I own my happiness. It's not an advantage to have high self-esteem. You are resilient. You can't build resilience. You your mind is 100% resilient.

And maybe I should have put that. What I'm really saying is you're 100% resilient. How do we stop resilience from failing? That was the voice of Professor Steve Peters, renowned psychiatrist and best-selling author who joins us on today's show. I'm Jake Humphrey, and alongside Damian Hughes, we speak to the world's most fascinating people to give you a roadmap to how you can go on your own journey towards high performance.
