    About this ebook

    A unique and empowering resource to overcoming stress and stabilizing your mental health in today’s volatile world—part of the bestselling Inner Game series, with more than one million copies sold!

    “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.

    Author

    W Timothy Gallwey

    Ever since Timothy Gallwey missed a heartbreakingly easy volley on match point in the National Junior Tennis Championship at the age of fifteen, he has been fascinated with the problem of how human beings interfere with their own ability to achieve and learn. His search for practical ways to overcome the mental obstacles that prevent maximum performance led to the basic discoveries first described in The Inner Game of Tennis, his bestselling classic. Since the completion of The Inner Game of Golf, he spends most of his time in the Los Angeles office of the Inner Games Corporation, developing an Inner Game approach to such diverse fields as selling, management, stress, diet, music and the quality of work.

      An interesting look at how we react to stress in our daily life. It has a very self-help kinda vibe to it but that didn't bother me too much. I enjoyed the ideas of how to control our reactions to stressful situations and feel it's good advice.Hopefully it will make you look at life a little differently for a little while at least.

      There are much, much better books on stress management out there. Perhaps if someone is really into sports--particularly tennis--they would find the approach appealing. But as a decided non-athlete, this book stressed me out trying to finish it.

      I've been dilatory in posting a review of this Early Reviewers’ book because I found it underwhelmingly pedestrian.The three authors present their explanation of and guidelines for reducing stress interspersed with vignettes meant to illustrate the efficacy of their approach. This isn't an uncommon format for a self-help book, but in this case the guidelines are rather paternalistic and self-congratulatory, and the examples simplistic. The narrative instruction is in first person, which I found additionally jarring. Reading something like this always makes me wonder if I'm more radically feminist than I think, because although the examples include plenty of women, the entire tone of the book was very - well - stereotypically male. The authors propound on their "toolbox" of "tools" heavily weighted to corporate and sports metaphors. Even worse, the advice portion – those “tools” - take up less than 1/3 of the text. Most self-help books have a rah-rah tone. Unfortunately, barely disguised undercurrent of "It's YOUR fault" and “buck up, bucko” runs through this text instead. The advice isn’t worthless, but the approach had no resonance at all for me. Your mileage may vary.

      This is a great self-help book that does not wallow in the trials and tribulations of life but rather points the reader forward toward a life that manages stress so that you can fulfill your greatest potential. Stocked full of great ideas and exercises to make you the CEO of your own life, Gallwey's book is extremely inspiring and helpful if you're having problems managing the stress that comes from too many demands on your time or even if you just need a few tips to better manage already well managed stress. Written in easy to understand language, I think most people, even those who do not turn to self-help books, will walk away from this book with a few more tools in their stress management toolbox.
