THE BOOK

What if the answer isn't always to push harder?

RESET by Chris Mahoney · Foreword by Lukis Mac

RESET is a practical guide to knowing when to pause, create space and regain perspective, and when to step forward with purpose and intention. It starts with the day my body hit its limit, 200 metres from the finish line, and everything I learned rebuilding from there.

Quiet the noise and operate at your peak with total calm and clarity, using the Lean In Lean Out method.
