- Overview.
- This brand-new paperback collection brings together three of the most talked-about books in sports science and human performance.
- The Oxygen Advantage reveals the power of breathing technique, Endure explores the psychology of fatigue and willpower, and The Rise of Superman investigates the flow states behind extreme sport.
- Together they form a compelling toolkit for anyone wanting to understand and improve physical and mental performance, whether training for a marathon, coaching a team, or simply seeking a healthier, more resilient way of living..
- About the Books.
- In The Oxygen Advantage, breathing specialist Patrick McKeown combines Buteyko-based breathing exercises with techniques that simulate high-altitude training, offering a scientifically validated programme that can improve respiratory efficiency, reduce stress and boost athletic performance for everyone from casual exercisers to elite competitors.
- In Endure, award-winning journalist Alex Hutchinson challenges the idea that physical limits are purely muscular, tracing the science of fatigue from early experiments with electricity and frogs' legs to modern brain-imaging research, and arguing that endurance is shaped as much by the brain's interpretation of distress signals as by the body itself.
- In The Rise of Superman, Steven Kotler turns his attention to the world of action and adventure sports, examining how skydivers, surfers, and freeriders have repeatedly shattered assumptions about human capability by tapping into flow states.
- Drawing on biology, psychology and philosophy, Kotler asks why so many so-called impossible feats have become achievable in a single generation.
- Read individually or as a set, these three titles combine rigorous research with vivid storytelling, making complex science accessible without ever feeling like a textbook.
- They are equally suited to a dedicated athlete building a training library, a coach or teacher looking for engaging real-world science content, or a general reader simply curious about the outer limits of human potential..

- Written by respected experts and journalists: Patrick McKeown, Alex Hutchinson and Steven Kotler..
- Science-backed techniques readers can apply immediately to training, recovery and everyday wellbeing..
