About this listen
'This book captures the magic of being in flow . . . Highly recommend' RONNIE O'SULLIVAN
'The perfect motivational read at the dawn of a new year' DAILY EXPRESS
'Entertaining and enlightening' MATTHEW SYED
'Simon has looked into something we actually all know or at least once did – the ability to live life more in the now' JASON FOX
Simon Mundie, host of the A New Way of Being podcast, draws on interviews with some of the world’s sporting legends to redefine how we understand – and pursue – success through 8 key lessons.
As the sports reporter for BBC Radio 1 for the best part of a decade, Simon Mundie was pitch-side at many of the most high-profile sporting events in history. It was often thrilling, but the emphasis always seemed to be on results, tactics and the score. But as the saying goes, sport is a metaphor for life – so Simon set out to explore that.
Drawing on interviews with sporting legends from Jonny Wilkinson to Kate Richardson-Walsh, Caitlyn Jenner to Goldie Sayers, along with psychologists, philosophers and world-renowned thinkers, Simon shares some of the tools and techniques that sportspeople have embraced to grow and evolve. From developing emotional intelligence to the power of true acceptance and the joy of getting in flow, he explores eight universal themes that are highlighted in sport, but that are all too easily overlooked.
What can the careers of Gaël Monfils and Andy Murray teach us about exploring our potential? What can England’s Olympic gold-medal winning hockey team teach us about the power of being truly selfless? Wise and inspiring, Champion Thinking illustrates that the contentment we are all looking for isn’t somewhere ‘out there’ – it’s actually so close that we tend to overlook it.
'The intention behind this book is beautiful, and I highly recommend it' RUPERT SPIRA
'Mundie understands something most of us discover eventually: that the pursuit of sporting excellence is the best guide we have to what it means to be human' AMOL RAJAN©2024 Simon Mundie (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Simply exceptional!
What a book. So many takeaways! For someone like me who works in a job where so many things can change in an instant and so many variables are out of my control, this book has allowed me to reflect and focus on living in the “what is” rather than the “what if” - thus saving me so much time and allowing me to work on things within my control.
I can’t recommend this book enough!

An authentic book which feels like it was written in Flow
This book is great! The author is the perfect narrator as in many ways it’s his story. A very accessible and enjoyable discussion of some profound concepts. I loved it and will be passing on and recommending.

Re-think the way you view success in your own life
This book will rethink the way you look at success, what it is, what it looks like and how it is/isnt measured.
Simon does a great job of taking what our super human sporting stars experience and making it relate to an everyday Joe like myself.
Funny how the universe does its thing, I didn’t realise how much I needed this book at this time, to re-remind me that my thoughts are just my thoughts and success really is in the doing.
Simon is not a top athlete or someone trying to talk to you about the latest fad, he talks about his own experiences and relates the conversations he has had with athletes and professionals and how you can use this in your own life.
Really easy listen, easy to follow, give it a go.

Insightful, enlightening and engaging.
Builds on the podcast in an accessible and engaging way. Supporting stories provide insight into elite performance but related to us mere mortals!

A profound distillation of the best minds in sport, psychiatry and philosophy
Simon has interviewed the very best sports people and thinkers, and skillfully drawn clear and simple conclusions that we can all relate to. Thank you Simon for this excellent book, it's a real masterpiece.

Spirituality delivered through sport.
This is simply a wonderful book. I have been interested in many of the concepts Simon talks about for a number if years and similarly an an admirer of Rupert Spira's work. However trying to talk to others about these subjects can come over as a bit "spiritual mumbo jumbo" and people can turn off. However this book presents these concepts through the approachable medium of sport which so many, non spiritual types, can relate to. Consequently, issues which may have otherwise be even dismissed come across as logical, no nonsense, practical advice. It's a book that should be recommended to so many people, sports people, business types as well as those who have anxiety and other personal issues. It will help give a new and more practical perspective that can really help in so many ways. I cannot recommend this book more highly. Many thanks Simon.
