“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.
