Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA Working from the premise that ``it's the state of feeling great that produces great performance,'' the authors demonstrate in a readable manner the technique of moving from one Internal Energy State to another. With the aid of charts, readers are guided through a variety of strategies that include visualization, breath control, and humor. If the authors' message is absorbed and practiced, this book may enter the ``one of the most important books ever read'' category. YAs and others will find that these principles can be applied to all areas of their personal lives. Anne D. Johnson, formerly at St. John's School, Houston

Mentally Tough,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mentally Tough: The Principles of Winning at Sports Applied to Winning in Business (Paperback)
I attended a workshop by the author and read his book following the seminar. Both focused on the fact that one must have balance in ones life to be successful. It pointed out that to be mentally tough you must also work on physical fitness. As a result, I lost over 20lbs., ran a marathon, have more time and energy to accomplish more in my life than I ever have. This program is realistic and attainable for the busiest person.

This review is from: Mentally Tough: The Principles of Winning at Sports Applied to Winning in Business (Paperback)
This book was used in seminars at Apple to keep employees at peak performance mentally and physically. It outlines a detailed strategy for adjusting your body chemistry through a combination of diet, exercise, and laughter. I've just finished a weight-loss diet that dropped me 20 pounds to my ideal weight. Now I am going on the mentally tough program to maintain myself at peak performance

This review is from: Mentally Tough: The Principles of Winning at Sports Applied to Winning in Business (Paperback)
Few books that I have read put it all together as well as "Mentally Tough." I saw it in the used book pile for just 18 cents. That would be the best money you ever spent. Forget all the exercise, diet and other self-help books. Take a look at this one. I find myself, after reading many similar books, coming back to "Mentally Tough."
