What Is Relentless<\/em> About?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the book Relentless<\/em>, Tim Grover explains the qualities you\u2019ll need to become the best in your field\u2014qualities that he collectively calls \u201crelentlessness.\u201d In this guide, we\u2019ll first define relentlessness. Then, we\u2019ll explore the two main qualities Grover argues are essential to relentlessness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The need to succeed: <\/strong>constantly pushing yourself<\/a> as hard as you can to succeed by any means necessary <\/li>
  2. Directed instincts: <\/strong>training yourself to use your animal instincts constructively in your field<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s an overview of Relentless<\/em> by Tim Grover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part 1: Defining Relentlessness <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Grover defines \u201crelentlessness\u201d as a state of mind in which you\u2019re fully dedicated to becoming stronger, surviving, and overcoming obstacles to achieve your goals<\/a>.<\/strong> Being relentless, Grover asserts, is how you can become the<\/em> best at what you do and succeed time and time again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: In some ways, relentlessness is similar to what psychologists call \u201cconscientiousness\u201d or the ability to make and work towards goals consistently<\/a> while delaying gratification and overcoming obstacles. However, there\u2019s one major difference between relentlessness and conscientiousness: While conscientious people plan ahead to avoid impulsive behavior, relentless people rely<\/em> on impulsive behavior to help them succeed. Grover explains that anyone can be relentless in pursuing any task or discipline\u2014relationships, your job, an art form, and so on. This is because relentlessness isn\u2019t about what you do, but about how you approach what you do<\/strong>. In addition, he says that anyone can be relentless because relentlessness is natural and instinctual. <\/strong>All<\/em> animals, even humans, are born with an instinctual drive to overcome obstacles<\/a> and survive\u2014in other words, we\u2019re born<\/em> relentless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part 2: The Unstoppable Need to Succeed <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Now that we understand what relentlessness is and what can hold you back from it, we\u2019ll look at those who are consistently relentless: the Unstoppable. In the rest of Tim Grover’s book Relentless, he discusses the two main qualities you need to be Unstoppable: the need to succeed and the ability to direct your instincts. We\u2019ll start by defining the need to succeed through three different principles that support this quality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Never stop improving<\/a><\/strong><\/li>
    2. Put intense pressure on yourself <\/strong><\/li>
    3. Use any means necessary<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Principle #1: Never Stop Improving<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Grover says that constantly seeking improvement is a crucial part of doing everything you can to achieve your goals and therefore is crucial for acting relentlessly. In addition, by constantly pushing as hard as you can to improve, <\/strong>you\u2019ll better understand what you\u2019re capable of and how you can use those capabilities <\/strong>to succeed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      (Shortform note: Psychology suggests that constantly pushing yourself hard, as Grover encourages, can lead to burnout\u2014a kind of emotional exhaustion characterized by disinterest and cynicism in regards to your field<\/a>. The risk of burnout suggests that there are moments when not pushing yourself will actually better enable you to succeed in the long run, since it\u2019ll make you healthier and keep you motivated to succeed<\/a>. To avoid burnout while still pushing hard, experts recommend you learn to recognize when you\u2019re pushing yourself out of habit versus when you\u2019re doing it for a worthy goal<\/a>. Ease off if you\u2019re acting habitually, and keep going if you have a good reason to do so.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Principle #2: Put Intense Pressure on Yourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Grover\u2019s second principle for developing the Unstoppable need to succeed is constantly putting intense pressure on yourself<\/strong>. <\/strong>Grover agrees with the commonly observed phenomenon that people perform better under pressure, <\/strong>and that being under pressure <\/strong>forces you to find ways to rise to whatever challenge you\u2019re facing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      (Shortform note: While many psychologists agree that pressure under certain circumstances will improve performance, it\u2019s often in the context of short-term high-stress situations like a basketball game. However, in a longer-term context or in a field that doesn\u2019t require immediate and precise action, psychologists disagree with Grover on the benefits of pressure<\/a>. For example, one study found that increased pressure correlated with worse performance in math students<\/a>. This research suggests that the extent to which pressure will benefit you is dependent on what your discipline requires.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Constant pressure <\/strong>allows you to <\/strong>avoid the fear of failure<\/a> and self-doubt<\/a> <\/strong>in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Constantly putting yourself under pressure gives you lots of practice managing the fear and stress that comes with it, so you\u2019ll improve at managing these feelings. <\/strong><\/li>
      2. Internal pressure makes external<\/em> pressure easier to handle. Others depending on you or having high expectations of you won\u2019t cause fear or panic because the pressure they put on you can\u2019t be any more intense than the pressure you put on yourself.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Principle #3: Use Any Means Necessary<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        To truly push and pressure yourself as hard as you can, Grover argues that you must follow the third principle behind the Unstoppable need to succeed: seeking success by any means necessary. <\/strong>Grover provides two methods for following this principle: making sacrifices and accepting discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Part 3: The Unstoppable Direct Their Instincts <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        We\u2019ve just explored the first main quality of the Unstoppable, the need to succeed, and discussed how you can productively fulfill this need. Now, we\u2019ll explore Grover\u2019s second Unstoppable quality in his book Relentless<\/em>: the ability to direct your instincts\u2014that is, the ability to use your natural animal instincts to accomplish the complex goals required by your field or discipline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        (Shortform note: You might assume that your animal instincts are so hardwired into your mind that you can\u2019t tell them what to do. However, this isn\u2019t the case\u2014the rational part of your mind can actually train your instincts<\/a>. After all, memory and experience can inspire instincts\u2014for example, a child touching a hot stove will learn from that experience, and later will have the instinct to check if a stove is hot before touching it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Grover examines three areas Grover says to direct your instincts\u2014knowledge, emotions, and your primal self<\/a> as well as how doing so will help you become Unstoppable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Calling It Quits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Knowing when to call it quits is the last part of this overview of the book Relentless<\/em>. Tim Grover does acknowledge that there will come a time when you have nothing left to prove and are ready to finish up your career or lifelong commitment. He notes that for you to do so, your self-control will have to triumph over your primal self, or else you\u2019ll never feel satisfied and won\u2019t stop seeking success until you\u2019re dead and gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        (Shortform note: Going from relentless to retired is a difficult transition\u2014research shows that highly gifted individuals end up less happy later in life<\/a>, stuck wondering if they fully <\/em>lived up to their potential. However, there is a solution to this unhappy decline: helping others. By transitioning into a mentor role, you can continue using the wisdom you\u2019ve developed throughout your life. Scientists call this collected wisdom \u201ccrystallized knowledge<\/a>,\u201d and believe that it peaks far later in life compared to other mental faculties\u2014meaning that you still have opportunities to \u201clive up to your potential\u201d in various ways, even beyond retirement.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
