Review

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and appreciated that it was short and to the point. --Michelle McCormick

This is a very good basic primer on becoming an elite mental athlete. Read it, follow the advice, and if you want more like me, follow the sources provided to even more information to make you and your brain the best it can be. --Alain B. Burrese

It's common sense pointers that we have all heard of, but Mr. Silverstein presents the information in a clear, consise, and easy-to-understand manner. --Bonnie P.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply ... Very Good!

As a retiree in Human Resources in a large corporation, I can tell you this book is right on! If we all (in business especially) read and followed the simple, good advice in Mr. Silverstein's writings , both personal and home life would surely improve. Eat right, sleep more and exercise are fundamental, easy steps to wholesomeness in all of us. To see these in writing underlines what little we need to do to be better at everything we do. Imagine how much better our lives would be. I'm guessing our family would appreciate us more! This is a book I would recommend for managers and business folks that want to succeed and be happy and content while they are at it!

There is so much more that this book could've covered. But, that said, it's a poignant summary of sound psychological principles for those who may need or want some quick tidbits and inspiration.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing New Here, just use google and you will learn more for free.

Everything in here you can learn from a quick google search. I didn't really learn anything new and you can read this book cover to cover in an hour or two. I guess if you don't want to waste time on the internet this is a good consolidation of very broad and readily available information. Also in the book the Author cites test, experiments and facts that are in no way conclusive to the point he is trying to make. Honestly, I wrote better reports my sophomore year of college than this book.
