This book is VERY mediocre June 26, 1999 22 out of 24 found this review helpful
I bought it because it was noted that people that bought a book that I REALLY got alot out of (The Mental Edge) also bought this one.After reading the other book, this was a let-down. It was not as concise as the others.
OVER RATED! October 22, 1999 19 out of 31 found this review helpful
I don't know what these people are reading that call this a great book?! There are other books in this same category that are MUCH better writen, easier to understand, and have more actual excercises and less psycho-bable. I sent this one back for a refund. Loehr must have had his family write the earlier reviews!

This book kept me sane! I am an international referee in Judo. Being female in a male dominated sport requires the usual 150% performance! When the going gets tough this book's advice is invaluable. I also coach teenagers, and my students benefit from James Leohr's confidence building techniques.
This book changed my life! August 31, 2001 11 out of 15 found this review helpful
This little book read like a novel. It helped me understand better what I already knew and opened my eyes on aspects I was not aware of. The principles and philosophy described apply not only to sports, but to life in general. Anybody who has ambitions beyond sitting on the couch watching TV all day/night should read this book.
A little over the edge... May 27, 2004 8 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book has a lot of terms and things that don't make a lot of sense. The intentions in this are great, but I want a book that is straightforward. The exercises aren't bad, but the talk isn't all that motivational.
