Podcast 1324: Winning Ways for Living: Get Smarter ~ Perform Better by Kurt Krueger

from Inside Personal Growth with Greg Voisen · host Greg Voisen

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Kurt Krueger, a true "Renaissance man" whose life story reads like an adventure novel—from record-breaking All-American swimmer and water polo coach to a high-stakes survivor of a 1977 airplane hijacking. As the author of "Winning Ways for Living: Get Smarter ~ Perform Better," Kurt shares how 45 years of researching peak performance led him to a startling conclusion: the ultimate "peak" isn't found in a trophy, but in a global vision of peace. Throughout this gripping conversation, Kurt reveals the "Peacemaker’s Miracle Meditation"—an elegantly simple practice he used to transform gang-heavy inner-city schools and transmute his own life-threatening experiences into a mission for harmony. He challenges the notion that peace is a passive state, instead presenting it as an active, creative force that can be scaled from a single classroom to the world stage. If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the conflict in the news, Kurt’s journey from elite athletics to the Peacemaker Circles Network offers a radical, science-backed shift in perspective that proves "peak peace" is the highest performance level of all. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn: - The Science of "Peak Peace": How to bridge the gap between athletic peak performance and mental harmony using modern science and ancient wisdom. - The Power of Recognition: Why changing your vocabulary—shifting from "forgetting" to "remembering"—can rewire your brain for success. - Tactical Calm: A physical technique involving the thymus gland to stop the overproduction of adrenaline during high-stress moments like road rage. - The 90% Solution: Why the act of writing down a concrete personal vision of peace is the most transformative step you can take for your future. - Meditation in Extremis: Insights into how deep meditative states can provide clarity and the ability to help others even in the midst of a radical hijacking.
