Sport Psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr and marketing consultant Peter Mclaughlin outline techniques that can be used to achieve the mental toughness displayed by professional athletes. They take these techniques--including visualization, motivation, performance ritual, breath control, and more--and demonstrate how they can be effectively applied in the business world. Mental toughness allows anyone to overcome stress, anger, fatigue, petty problems and workload so they can accomplish their goals, unlock their boundless physical and mental energy and be focused, relaxed and confident in the workplace. The techniques outlined in this book allow anyone to hone their mental toughness and succeed in today's tough business world.
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."

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.
Excellent lifestyle recipe for sharpening your abilities.
