Overachievement: the new science of working less to accomplish more

Abstract

As the author 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. In this book, the author offers the rest of 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.
