Short summary

What's it about?

Gözde Berber Özbalaban, triathlete and runner, argues that the athlete's mind belongs to everyone: a state of awareness, flexibility, and balance that transforms how we approach life's races. Published by Humanist Kitap, this work reframes existence itself as a series of conscious choices across four dimensions: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The athlete's mind isn't about competition; it's about honoring your existence before and during any struggle you face.

You'll learn:

- How to reframe your relationship with your body entirely

- The practice of staying emotionally fit through life's races

- Why mental stretching creates meaning in every dimension
