Publisher's Summary

• Explores in depth the foundational skills and operating principles that empower mastery, including accurate perceptive awareness and effective interaction

• Looks at how to control your mind and transform your perceptive experience so what you are experiencing aligns with what’s actually occurring

• Presents a step-by-step breakdown of the principle of effective interaction and explains how to overcome the major obstacles to mastery

Becoming a master in a particular area is not tied solely to innate ability or talent nor to years of rote practice. As martial arts master and consciousness explorer Peter Ralston explains, the secret to mastery lies in accurate perceptive-awareness and effective interaction.

In this detailed guide to what it takes to master something, Ralston examines the powerful dynamics behind the art of mastery. He explores the foundational skills and operating principles that empower mastery, including the principle of effective interaction, the mind-body alignment principle, and creative intelligence. Examining “reaction” versus “response,” he looks at how to control your mind and transform your perceptive-awareness so that what you are experiencing aligns with what’s actually occurring—the first step toward reaching your objectives. Sharing methods to overcome the major obstacles to mastery, he presents a step-by-step breakdown of the principle of effective interaction and explains how to adapt when the people or objects you’re interacting with are working contrary to your goals, including in sports, business, warfare, politics, or any arena in which you’ve committed to pursuing mastery.

Revealing the elements that lead to masterful interactive skills, this guide shows how to do the work of personal transformation necessary to access mastery as a real, functional experience, providing an opportunity for deeper insights into yourself and life.
