5.0 out of 5 stars a book that has influenced my life, December 25, 2009
I bought this book years ago--I'm a writer and always interested in better understanding creative states..or finding a reason to read rather than write...! But I'm taking the time to write a review because the book is old, and so may be neglected, but has had a powerful effect on my life, and so rates a few minutes for me to say how and why.

In looking at the cover again here on Amazon, I realized that for me the 'learning' had less to do with 'performing under pressure' and much more about understanding 'peak.' When the author described the concept of the C-Zone (and if I recall, he was actually interpreting the work of a researcher whose name starts with Cz but had about 12 other letters in it)...I realized, happily, that I already 'knew' it but had not had a name for it. And -- for me, anyway -- the whole point of attaining that zone, and MAINtaining it, is that in that 'place' you perform at a very high level, outside of time, and also, well beyond, not under, 'pressure.' It's an incredible place, and one that we all have inside if we'll put down the ipods, turn our backs on the tv, and ignore e-mails and the laundry and the worries that will be waiting for us eventually anyway.

Probably I would never had read the original work of Cz----, but I do value it, and appreciate this author's making these ideas accessible to the rest of us. This is readable and again...may help you find your own way to a kind of strength and power within yourself well beyond what you probably expect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't get stressed, get this book instead!, March 29, 2004
This is a great book on "how to deal with pressure." Robert outlines in clear terms how to be more effective under difficult situations. Highly recommended.
