With Winning in Mind 3rd. Ed. Paperback – Big Book, 3 September 2012

Must have book for anyone interested in performing better.

No lo eh leído pero la calidad de impresión es excelente.

What's between our ears makes or breaks our lives.Lanny's story is inspirational as he went from a kid no one picked for their team to an Olympic gold medalist using his mental management system. He lays down for all to read and apply. Not a book you can read and forget, it has to be applied.

I have always stirred away from Self-Help books and 'Gurus', BUT THAT BOOK IS DIFFERENT; this book is keeping it 'real'. A no-nonsense book, full of sound life-proven advice that instantly resonate with you. You do not have to believe any of what the author is telling you, what is written will ring true straight away!!! I have read few of the most famous Self-Help books, and have always been so disappointed, but not with this one; this one is a keeper!!! Read it, and re-read it!!!!

There are a lot of books out there on positive thinking - books like "the secret" come to mind. Wish for a bike and you will get it! Wish for $1 million and you will get it! Why? Many books will outline some vague, metaphysical/new age reason - surely if you sit on your bed and squeeze eyes shut, cross your fingers, and mutter your wish over and over, god/some spiritual force/genie in the bottle will grant it for you...This is not that kind of book. In a nutshell, the book basically lays out a mental system for positive reinforcement, planning and action. It is about dreaming, yes. But it is also about planning and taking immediate action. It IS about repetition, envisioning success, and "rehearsing" in your head - but in a way that is rooted in reality and practicality.The book talks a lot about performance as well. The author is an olympic gold medalist in rifling, so a lot of this is applicable in high pressure scenarios. I actually came across this book was because I heard mental management being mentioned by a former navy seal/sniper in a documentary. But it's a very balanced kind of "performance" - it's not an iron-fist kind of discipline. It's a method that relies on positivity and focusing on strengths. Yes - we all know positive thinking helps - we're not stupid. But I have never come across a book that laid it out in a comprehensive, no none-sense manner. It's clear, it makes sense, and it's not fluff. It's the same old principle...but with a new light shone on it and using simple methods that makes sense. The writing style is conversational, but with substance - I feel like I had a conversation with a wise grandparent (there's a lot of humor in the book too). If you're starting out personal growth, getting your life into shape and you feel you're ready for the next level, I highly recommend this book. It's a very quick read. I've read a lot of self-help books, and honestly there are only 3 or 4 out there that I can really say changed my life. This is one of them.(I would recommend Self-Theories by Dweck and Feel the Fear and do it anyway as good starting books before this one, if you're currently in a bad spot - good luck!).
