Why You’re Failing Just Before the Finish Line (The False Summit)

Описание: Ever felt like you finally "arrived," only to realise the hardest part was just beginning? Most people quit right here—discover why your brain is wired to trick you at the finish line.

In this deep dive into the False Summit Effect, we explore the neurological trap that affects everyone from elite athletes like Niharika in the Great Himalayan Ultra to corporate executives climbing the C-suite ladder. You'll learn why external validation (promotions, awards, praise) actually triggers a "Protection Mode" in your brain that kills your growth, and more importantly, how to recalibrate your mental map to survive the longer climb ahead.
