Micro-Habits: The Tiny Changes That Supercharge High Performance

"Brought to you by Penguin. We often assume that the highest-performing people have some huge secret – they’re doing something drastically, life-alteringly different to the rest of us. But in the course of 400 interviews with leading sportspeople, entrepreneurs and leaders, Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes have found the opposite: that real success comes from small, seemingly insignificant behaviours, repeated again and again. They call them micro-habits. Drawing on exclusive in-person interviews with some of the world’s most remarkable people – from Lando Norris to Usain Bolt to Sarina Weigman – Micro-Habits introduces the 48 tiny, repeatable behaviours that high performers use to achieve excellence. And the best thing? They work right away. © Damian Hughes and Jake Humphrey 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

The Winning Mindset: What Sport Can Teach Us About Great Leadership

"This audiobook is skilfully and inspiringly read by the author, Damian Hughes. In The Winning Mindset, Professor Damian Hughes, the acclaimed author of Liquid Thinking and How to Think Like Sir Alex Ferguson, draws on both his lifetime experience and academic background within sport, organization and change psychology to reveal the best ways to create a winning mindset in both personal and professional life. Having worked with some of the top teams in the UK, and watched some of the best coaches in the country at work, Hughes distils the five keys principles that separate the best coaches and teams from the rest: Simplicity; Tripwires; Emotions; Practical; Stories: STEPS. The role of a sports-team leader is fascinating, complex and tough. Fantasy football leagues may convince us that success is all about buying players and selecting a team. In reality, it is about creating winning environments - recruiting, developing and nurturing talent, effectively communicating a shared vision with a diverse collection of individuals, delivering on enormous expectations from a range of stakeholders, overcoming significant challenges, handling pressure and staying focused throughout: a set of challenges familiar to leaders in all sectors."
