"Tim Gallwey is one of the great teachers of our time. In this day,
when many talk of accelerating learning in organizations but few have
actually done it, the words of a master are timely indeed."--Peter M.
Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the
Learning Organization
Renowned sports psychology expert W. Timothy Gallwey teams up with two
esteemed physicians to present an invaluable guide for managing everyday
stress. Gallwey explains how negative self-talk undermines us and leaves
us feeling helpless and unhappy--and he shows that we have the means to
build a shield against stress using our abilities to take childlike
pleasure in learning new skills, which can help us rest, relax, and
trust our own judgement.
With his trademark mix of case histories and interactive worksheets,
Gallwey helps us tap into our inner strengths with these practical
tools:
- the STOP technique Learn how to Step back, Think, Organize, and
Proceed with a more conscious choice process, even in the most chaotic
circumstances.
- the Attitude tool If you're feeling resentment, try gratitude.
- the Magic Pen Develop the ability to open up your intuition and
wisdom.
- the Transpose exercise Imagine what the other person thinks,
feels, wants--and develop empathy, kindness, and better relationship
skills.
- the PLE triangle Use your goals for Performance, Learning, and
Experience to redefine success and enhance enjoyment.
You don't have to be an athlete to keep your life in perspective and
your performance at its peak. A one-of-a kind guide, The Inner Game of
Stress allows anyone to get in the game and win.
