"The Zone is the ability to perform at your highest level in whatever domain in life. It is not a phenomenon exclusive to sports; it exists in every endeavor in which men and women apply themselves. But most people who achieve this higher consciousness and intense level of engagement get to this state of mind by accident. And this is why so many of us assume there's something magical about being in the Zone. . . .Through a lifetime of study, scientific research, and one-on-one work with athletes, I have repeatedly observed ten essential characteristics that the world's greatest athletes possess that not only enable them to perform at an optimal level but also allow them to transcend the distractions and everyday challenges that can potentially hinder their performance. Based on both my scientific research and personal experience, these components form both the basis of this book and the platform from which you can develop the mental acuity, the emotional power, and the skills that will help you improve your performance in whichever sphere of life you choose."~ Michael Lardon, M.D. from Finding Your ZoneThe Zone.Sure would be nice to find it more often, eh?That's exactly what Michael Lardon, M.D. helps us do with this great little book. Dr. Lardon is a sports psychologist and Professor at the University of California San Diego. He's spent his life studying peak performance and what enables athletes to get into the Zone.His scientific research and work with well-known PGA, NFL and Olympic athletes led him to the ten core lessons for achieving peak performance in sports and life he covers in this book. Great stuff. Let's take a quick look at some of my favorite Big Ideas--starting with defining the Zone.Some Big Ideas from the book:1. What is the Zone? - The core components.2. The Ten Lessons - For peak performance.3. Two Scorecards - Process + results.4. Stop Comparing Yourself - And quit unplugging.5. Motivation - Keep it pure.Here's to bridging that gap and living in the Zone of our potential!To find 250+ more reviews visit http://bit.ly/BrianReviews
There are many good books on the mental game, and this is one of them. The author is a psychiatrist, but in this case he is no mere academic. He was a national caliber table tennis player in his youth, and has spent many years coaching athletes, esp on the PGA tour, on how to improve their mental game. What I really like is the emphasis on hard work, preparation and improving your motivation. There are no gimmicks, pat answers or simplistic formulas for getting into the zone as the author defines it. I don't find much appeal in his emphasis on trying to analyze and even direct your own dreams ( literally dreams that you dream when asleep, not dreams as in what you hope for). But this part of the text is the only place where he doesn't hit the nail on the head, and anyone who works through this and applies it will see not only their sports performance improve, but hopefully also will see their life in general also improve, as he emphasizes applying his principles in everyday life as well. As I said, this is one of the good books on the mental game, but I think that the author's extremely realistic and practical advice sets it apart from others I have read or browsed. And that you can apply it to your daily life is a bonus of the best sort!
This book is easy to read. It lays out what needs to be done to get into the optimal state of mind in which to do your best. Michael Lardon uses concise examples to illustrate his points, which seem to be:* Trust and believe in your dreams;* Prepare fully (practise a lot);* Transform desire (expressed through dreams) into will (by harnessing direction and goals to desire);* Keep everything as simple as possible;* Focus on process not product goals (avoid "monkey mind" where there is a lot of distraction and not much directed effort);* Approach emotions from different perspectives to keep things in context ("know-mind awareness);* Be intrinsically motivated, with extrinsic (especially material) motivation only to supplement the 'pure' intrinsic motivation;* Take action;* Build self-confidence by a) looking to what you've done well before, b) seeing yourself do what others are doing, c) modelling behaviours of others, and d) accepting the faith others express in you.I found the book enjoyable and intriguing, but to me it just hints at what to do to achieve the zone. This is a 162 page essay about what Lardon has observed is common to those who can get into the zone, not how to get there.For a complemntary book that is essentially the equivalent of a gym programme for the mind, I recommend "10 Minute Toughness: The mental training programe for winning before the game begins" by Jason Selk.
I really liked this book. It has already made a difference in how I approach my bowling. I was getting frustrated with myself because I have certain expectations and when they are not met, I would be disappointed in myself. After reading this book, I have been able to readjust my thinking process and have set realistic goals for myself. It is a book that you can return to now and then for a little reminder about how to find your zone. I would highly recommend it.
I do not like 99% of the Self help stuff material available in the market. Majority of the lot just acts like an anesthesia, under whose influence the reader feel protected and self assured. However once the book in back to the shelf, you are back on your old track.This book is first not meant to make you feel better!! It talks about What do you need to do to find your peak performance output. How to compete with yourself and become a better, more efficient person.This book works at multiple levels, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and using its guideline in my everyday life.Best
