Built to Last: Mental Fitness, Breath, and the Science of Resilience with David Amerland
How do we build a life that’s not just high-performing, but sustainable, intentional, and mentally strong?
In this episode of the Cognitive Fitness Coach Podcast, host Coach Chris Norris sits down with author and thought leader David Amerland to explore the foundations of cognitive resilience, brain-first wellness, and how we can use tools like breathwork, meditation, movement, and micro-intentions to rewire how we live, work, and relate.
Drawing from David’s books Built to Last, The Sniper Mind, and Intentional: How to Live, Love, Work and Play Meaningfully, this conversation dives into:
- Why brain health must come before body performance
- How to use breath and meditation to regulate emotions and sharpen focus
- The role of nature, sleep, and movement in cognitive longevity
- What elite performers know about staying calm under pressure
- How to shift from autopilot to intentional living
