‘If your wish in life is to fit in with the crowd, then this is not the book for you.’
Relax. Set goals. Focus on the outcome. Lose yourself to the fabled Zone that athletes talk about. All reasonable, sensible, rational words of advice when you are facing a performance challenge. And all utterly, hopelessly, wrong!
According to John Eliot, PhD, ‘Such self-improvement balderdash will do nothing but relegate you to a career in mediocrity. Overachievers don’t think reasonably, sensibly or rationally.’ As he has discovered through years of cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience and real-world coaching, techniques such as goal-setting, relaxation, visualization, stress management, and flow just don’t work for most people. He’s proven that at high levels of business, medicine, entertainment, and sports, relaxing when the pressure is on is the wrong way to go. Instead, overachieving means thriving under pressure—welcoming it, enjoying it, and making it work to your advantage.
In Overachievement, Dr Eliot offers us the counterintuitive and unconventional concepts that have been embraced by the Olympic athletes, business moguls, top surgeons, salesmen, financial experts, and rock stars who have turned to him for performance enhancement advice.
Mixing scientific insights with entertaining and inspiring stories, Overachievement will help you achieve spectacular success on the job, on the playing field, or in any situation that demands you rise above and beyond what you ever thought possible.
