Aligned: The Data-Driven Guide to Performance, Recovery, and Human Potential

by Mike Hunter

This book is from the global head of human performance at WHOOP, a data-powered guide to human potential, revealing that recovery is the hidden driver of peak performance.

But what if the true catalyst for excellence lies not in exertion but in restoration? Pulling from one of the world’s largest physiological datasets and more than two decades of experience operating in high-stakes, high-stress environments, Holmes makes a compelling case: People’s downtime is their competitive advantage.
