Published: Mon, 12/05/11

 Book Recommendation:
 
The following book came highly recommended from a number of trainers for whom I have great respect. I just finished the Kindle version on my last road trip and really enjoyed the writing style, information and strategies provided. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in enhancing performance.  
 

Nerve: Poise Under Pressure, Serenity Under Stress, and the Brave New Science of Fear and Cool By Taylor Clark


Book Description: Nerves make us bomb job interviews, first dates, and SATs. With a presentation looming at work, fear robs us of sleep for days. It paralyzes seasoned concert musicians and freezes rookie cops in tight situations. And yet not everyone cracks. Soldiers keep their heads in combat; firemen rush into burning buildings; unflappable trauma doctors juggle patient after patient. It's not that these people feel no fear; often, in fact, they're riddled with it. 

In Nerve, Taylor Clark draws upon cutting-edge science and painstaking reporting to explore the very heart of panic and poise. Using a wide range of case studies, Clark overturns the popular myths about anxiety and fear to explain why some people thrive under pressure, while others falter-and how we can go forward with steadier nerves and increased confidence.

If you have not already registered for the 2012 Southeast Regional Warrior Symposium then get on it. The organizers have an amazing lineup of presenters and you have to love Florida in February. 
 
Take care.
