From clinical psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson and Start With Why author Simon Sinek to astronaut Chris Hadfield, former Navy SEALs David Goggins and Jocko Willink, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki and the Iceman Wim Hof: the principles behind their success, in their own words.

Start here

Mindset and resilience

Former Navy SEALs David Goggins and Jocko Willink both built their reputations on discipline; Jocko explains why he rises at 4.30am and gets his workout done before the day starts. Boxers Chris Eubank, Amir Khan and Frank Bruno share what kept them going, as do ultra-runner Dean Karnazes and adventurer James Ketchell, who turns huge goals like rowing across the Atlantic into manageable tasks. Poker champion Liv Boeree says the process matters more than the results. Matt Willis describes rebuilding his life after hitting rock bottom, and actor RJ Mitte talks about turning cerebral palsy into an advantage in a competitive industry.

Business, money and influence

Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki share the money principles behind the Rich Dad brand, while Grant Cardone and Elena Cardone each set out their own rules. Business coach Dan Peña, entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David, author Daniel Priestley and pitching expert Oren Klaff focus on sales and growth. Former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss covers persuasion, and Simon Sinek talks about purpose. Musician Imogen Heap explains how to mix creativity with good business sense, and Timothy Oulton, who calls himself a product guy rather than a designer, says committing goals to paper works.

Habits, health and the inner game

Productivity author David Allen, creator of Getting Things Done, and Nir Eyal explain how they manage time and attention. Brain coach Jim Kwik talks about learning, sleep scientist Matthew Walker about rest and Dave Asprey about energy. Cara Santana likes routines and rituals but says she does not get hung up on them, and Eddie Izzard describes comedians as mental athletes. Others look inward: Jordan Peterson, Alain de Botton, Dr Gabor Maté, Sadhguru, Marianne Williamson and former Google X executive Mo Gawdat share the beliefs and practices behind their work.
