"This program made me remember who I am and gave me the tools to become that woman again."

"I listen to a lesson every morning with my daughter. Thanks to this program, we are forming great memories together and she is learning a supreme set of habits that will make her life rich with contentment and happiness."
- Fred H.
"This program is the best thing that's ever happened to me"
- Katelynne G.
Other apps just teach meditation and mindfulness. This is like playing golf with only 2 clubs.
Trident Mindset was created by a team of former Navy SEALs and neuroscientists (our CEO, Chriss Smith, is the overdressed guy in the photo).
We used the 12 strategies we teach at Trident Mindset to complete SEAL training, conduct combat operations, and find happiness and inner peace once we returned home.
The tactics we teach aren't theories or things we read about in a book. They are the exact strategies that helped us make it through some of life's most extreme challenges.
And that's why we know they can help you achieve calmness, effectiveness, and happiness amidst whatever challenges you're facing. Nothing has more positively impacted our lives - at war, at work, and at home - than learning these tactics, so we are now dedicating our lives to teaching them to everyone.

We learn so much in school - writing in cursive, calculating the area of a rhombus, memorizing facts about the French Revolution. But we're never taught some pretty important things - how to manage stress, take care of our mental health, reach our potential, or be happy!
It turns out life isn't super full of rhombuses or pop quizzes on the French Revolution. What life is full of is constant adversity - packed schedules, pandemics, demanding jobs, irritating bosses, bills, setbacks, failures, losses, traffic jams, and so much more.
Because we never learned how to thrive amidst all this adversity...we don't. Feeling stressed, unhappy, or like you aren't reaching your potential has become the new norm for so many people
It doesn't need to be this way. Trident Mindset was created by a team of Navy SEALs and neuroscientists. Those of us who were SEALs learned a lot about how to be calm and effective in any situation, no matter how difficult. And the neuroscientists on the team learned a lot about what makes humans happy.
We created Trident Mindset to share the profoundly transformative mental toughness and mental health lessons we learned in our careers so everyone can benefit from them.
Our mission is to make people happy. We think teaching people how to optimize their mental health and mental toughness is the best way we can accomplish that mission.
We hope Trident Mindset helps you find lasting, profound happiness and close the gap between who you are and who you want to be.
Onward!

Each day has a 5 minute lesson and practice exercise that teaches you something new about that month's tactic.

Mental health is defined - according to the Canadian Department of Public Health - as your capacity to think and act in ways that allow you to enjoy life and deal with challenges. Mental toughness is defined as your ability to be calm, effective, and happy in any situation.
So, mental health and mental toughness are actually the same thing!
Mental toughness is simply a skill. Everyone can learn it. Like any skill, some people are naturally better at it than others, and you might not have the potential to be the best in the world at it. But you can learn it.
To learn any skill, you just have to learn the skill's tactics. To learn basketball, for example, you practice shooting, dribbling, rebounding, defense, and passing.
To master mindset, we believe there are 12 tactics you need to learn: micro-goals, focus, breath control, intentionality, stoicism, choosing the wrench, discipline, meditation, mindfulness, flipping the script, inner voice, and visualization.
At Trident Mindset, you learn these 12 tactics through daily lessons and practice exercises so that you can eventually master the overall skill of mindset.
No matter who you are, you'll find Trident Mindset valuable if you want to reduce stress, reach potential, or increase happiness. If mindset is something you struggle with now, you can change that! You aren't stuck with what you have. You don't have a bad mindset. You just don't have a good mindset yet.
You can download the Trident Mindset app in the App Store or Google Play Store. You can do Trident Mindset anytime, anywhere. Every lesson is in both audio and text form, so you can listen on-the-go or read depending on your preference. You can also download every lesson so you can access them offline.
Everyone! If you'd like to reduce stress, reach potential, improve your mental health, increase happiness, or forge mental toughness, Trident Mindset is for you. Based on our careers as Navy SEALs and neuroscientists, we selected the most scientifically-backed and practically-proven mindset and mental health tactics and combined them into a training program that teaches you to master each one. If that sounds valuable to you, Trident Mindset is for you.
We built Trident Mindset to be used by anyone at or above high school age. Mindset is simply a skill - like chess or skydiving. To master the skill, there are certain tactics you need to learn. These tactics are the same whether you're a student, parent, or executive.While many of us come from a military background, you won't find a bunch of yelling or useless motivational quotes. You'll find proven tactics, engaging lessons, challenging practice exercises, solid science, and some occasional good, old-fashioned tough love.
Our mission is to help you reduce stress, reach potential, and increase happiness by teaching you the best mindset tactics we learned in our careers as neuroscientists and Navy SEALs.
After just two months using the program, 92% of Trident Mindset users who responded to our survey say the program helped them reduce stress. 94% say they increased happiness. And 84% improved their performance at work or school.

A lot of ways!
1. We teach 12 tactics!
Apps like Headspace or Calm just teach meditation and mindfulness. Only learning meditation and mindfulness is like playing golf with only two clubs. It's certainly better than nothing, but it's woefully inadequate. We teach 12 mindset tactics so no matter what situation you find yourself in, you'll have a tool you can use to be calm, effective, and happy.
2. We are focused on permanent change rather than immediate sensation.
Other apps are designed to make you feel calm while you're using the app. Trident Mindset is designed to produce a profound, permanent increase in your ability to thrive during adversity. Our goal is not to make you feel better during the 10 minutes a day you use our app...it's to make you feel better every minute of your day.
3. You'll learn and practice.
Other programs just have you listen to lessons or guided meditations. This is like trying to learn basketball by listening to someone talk about basketball. That won't work! You need to practice! That's why our program includes daily lessons and daily training exercises so you can practice using the mindset tactics in your life.
4. All 12 tactics we teach are scientifically-backed.
All 12 tactics we teach are strongly supported by neuroscience and physiology studies. For each tactic, we explain how it works at a neural and physiological level so you can understand why the tactic is so beneficial for your mindset and mental health.
5. Credible creators.
Trident Mindset was created by Navy SEALs and neuroscientists - people who have used the 12 tactics we teach to complete SEAL training, conduct operations, and run 1,000-mile races. We know these tactics work because they're what got us through the greatest challenges of our lives. If the tactics can keep us calm, effective, and content in those situations, they're powerful enough to help you in your life.
