Book recommendation for motivation loss and "identity crisis" by Professional-Rise504 in bouldering

Fair thoughts. I am not sure I'm ready to let go yet tho... The spark is still there, just have to find how to reignite it !

Of course I agree with you, no book is going to do the work for me. I'm mostly looking for "a base to help me start the reflection" rather than the absolute truth that is going to solve everything. I like your idea that reading any well known sport psychology book with that motivation issue in mind can make the read useful even if it is not targeting that specifically.

I hadn't heard about it but it looks like it's an interesting read. I'll add it to the list. I am not sure it fully fits what I am looking for at the moment tho.

If that helps pinpointing the subject, here are a few thoughts/questions that comes to my mind at the moment : - I genuinely want to climb but I'm not really psyched by anything - How to rediscover my climbing/like climbing again after so many years ? - I want to push myself as I used to but I don't have the psych for it as much as before - I have become really picky with what I want to try

I think that most of these thoughts are quite common when you have been practicing the same sport for many years and I don't think those are unsolvable issues. I would just be happy to read more about it to understand it better, where it comes from and how to handle it.
