(This guide covers the later Scribner edition of the book.) While <em>Relentless <\/em>is Grover\u2019s first and best-known book, he\u2019s written two additional books since its release: personal training guide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Jump-Attack\/Tim-S-Grover\/Tim-Grover-Winning-Series\/9781476714400\"><em>Jump Attack<\/em><\/a> (2014) and self-help guide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Winning\/Tim-S-Grover\/Tim-Grover-Winning-Series\/9781982168865\"><em>Winning<\/em><\/a> (2021).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-book-s-context\"><strong>The Book\u2019s Context<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Grover wrote <em>Relentless <\/em>15 years into his personal training career working with basketball legends. He claims that working with these players helped him understand what being the best requires, and aims to share that knowledge through his writing\u2014<em>Relentless<\/em> is the first book in Grover\u2019s \u201cWinning Trilogy,\u201d which also includes <em>Jump Attack<\/em> and <em>Winning<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>Relentless<\/em> isn\u2019t strictly a sports psychology book, it shares many similarities with the genre, which includes other books like Michael Sheard\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-be-mentally-tough\/\">Mental Toughness<\/a><\/em> (2009) and Sian Beilock\u2019s <em>Choke<\/em> (2010). Grover\u2019s book differs from others in the genre in that it\u2019s based on his personal experiences and observations of excellent athletes, rather than on psychological research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-book-s-impact\"><strong>The Book\u2019s Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Relentless <\/em>is the number one bestselling sports training book on Amazon. It\u2019s received positive reviews from celebrity athletes like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, who speak to Grover\u2019s ability to encourage success in his clients. Since the publication of his book, Grover has built a larger <a href=\"https:\/\/timgrover.com\/the-relentless-system\/\">Relentless System<\/a> brand, which involves lifestyle coaching, a blog, online virtual training, and public speaking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-relentless-by-tim-grover-review\"><strong><em>Relentless<\/em> by Tim Grover Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of <em>Relentless<\/em> by Tim Grover reviews are positive, noting that the book is easy to understand and promotes a mindset that encourages success. Positive reviewers also appreciate the book\u2019s direct and declarative approach to self-help, which tells readers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stop-making-excuses\/\">stop making excuses<\/a> and start <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/chasing-success\/\">pursuing success<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negative reviews of <em>Relentless<\/em> tend to criticize the book for not offering practical advice on how to become relentless and for relying too heavily on anecdotes to make arguments. Some also take issue with Grover\u2019s recommendations, claiming that they promote working too hard at the expense of mental health or are unethical. They cite in particular Grover\u2019s argument that relentless people shouldn\u2019t apologize for misdeeds and his use of aggressive language like \u201cattack\u201d and \u201ckill\u201d in his discussions on achieving success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-commentary-on-the-book-s-approach\"><strong>Commentary on the Book\u2019s Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing our review of <em>Relentless<\/em>, Tim Grover\u2019s approach continually connects his recommendations back to his overall definition of relentlessness\u2014putting everything you have towards reaching a goal. When he recommends a method or principle, he\u2019ll explain how his principle allows you to fully commit yourself to pursue success. He tends to argue via declarative statements backed up by anecdotes and experiences from his or his clients\u2019 careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The extent to which <em>Relentless<\/em> makes recommendations is unclear\u2014in the introduction of the book, Grover says that he\u2019s not trying to tell readers what to do. This claim, combined with the book\u2019s use of the third person to describe relentless people, suggests that the book is less instructive and more observational. However, Grover describes his book as a guide to being relentless, which suggests it\u2019s <em>more<\/em> instructive than observational.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This question of instruction versus observation is important to consider when thinking about reviews of <em>Relentless<\/em>\u2014a critic might say that Grover makes bad recommendations, but a supporter could say that Grover isn\u2019t explicitly making recommendations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-commentary-on-the-book-s-organization\"><strong>Commentary on the Book\u2019s Organization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover organizes his book into 13 sections covering the main qualities that consistently relentless people demonstrate. However, the 13 sections tend to overlap in their focus. This overlap allows a reader to fully understand what a relentless mindset is, but also means the book often repeats the same ideas multiple times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Relentless by Tim Grover worth reading?

Her preferred genre of books has changed drastically over the years, from fantasy\/dystopian young-adult to moving novels and non-fiction books on the human experience. Katie especially enjoys reading and writing about all things television, good and bad.","knowsAbout":["Bachelor of Arts in English With a Concentration in Creative Writing"],"jobTitle":"Senior SEO Writer","worksFor":"Shortform","url":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/author\/katie\/"}]}},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/working-on-clock.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66750"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66985,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66750\/revisions\/66985"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
