About this audiobook
Have you ever wanted something so badly that your own mind became your biggest obstacle?
Elizabeth Clor wanted nothing more than to qualify for the prestigious Boston Marathon. Dead set on achieving this goal, she found herself bound up in a vicious cycle of perfectionism and anxiety that thwarted her at every turn, despite making significant gains in her physical abilities over seven years. Boston Bound is the story of how Elizabeth discovered that her own brain was the culprit, and explains the steps she took to completely overhaul her mindset about her running and her life.
For anyone experiencing mental roadblocks in the pursuit of an achievement, athletic or otherwise, this story offers a practical framework for removing these obstacles and realizing one's full potential.
