Publisher's Summary

From best-selling author Bob Rotella, America's preeminent sports psychologist, a groundbreaking guide to success in all aspects of life - not just sports - from business to relationships to personal challenges of every variety.

Acclaimed sports psychologist Bob Rotella has advised everyone from professional golfers to NBA superstars to business executives on how to flourish under pressure and overcome challenges. Now, for the first time, he's distilled his decades of in-depth research and practical experience into a potential-unlocking guide for everyone.

This exciting audiobook is not a collection of Rotella's theories; it consists of performance principles that have proven themselves in countless competitive situations, in arenas from which only the strongest minds emerge triumphant. It's a book full of insights that you can learn and use the next morning - in the office, the classroom, or wherever your quest takes you - told not in abstractions, but through case studies and stories drawn from Rotella's years teaching sports psychology, counseling athletes, and consulting for Fortune 500 companies. It explores how to keep the mind from holding you back, whatever your physical gifts or other talents. It's about how to make a commitment, how to persevere, how to deal with failure - and how to train your mind to create a self-image that promotes confidence and accomplishment.

Any successful life starts with how you see yourself. And with these pearls of wisdom from the nation's preeminent sports psychologist, you can learn to achieve the success of your dreams.

Repetitive with little substance

I found this book overly repetitive with nothing really new or insightful. His message over and over was simply work hard on the process, don't think about the result. Spend your money elsewhere.

Great insight into the world of elite sport

Having listened to a few of Doc's audio books, I find little pearls of wisdom that I missed before when listening, each time I listen to it again. it's a great insight into the world of elite sport and how our thoughts and how we control them allows people to achieve top levels of performance. It's also a great listen for anyone who wants to improve at anything in life even just being a better person

Not just for golfers

This book made a lot of sense to me. Some great insights and critical assessments of champions versus those who struggle to realise their potential were particularly helpful.
