The copy I read has a red cover, is co-authored by Robert Eklund, and apparently it is very valuable according to Amazon. Who knew?
Five things I learned from this book you can have for free:
1. It is not about past failures (let go of yours, forgive everyone else's) it is about the speed of recovery.
2. Test everything -- what you think happened may not be what happened at all till you examine hard facts in slow motion.
3. Keep what is right against all odds...never give up...focus forward.
4. Growth is painful, injury is a different sort of pain. Learn the difference. Lean into growing pain, injury pain is a stop sign. See rule 1.
5. Joyful performance is optimal, anger a close second. Everything else gets shut out.
This book claims to be a about sports. I find that it is the scientific basis for how to succeed in business, sports or any endeavor. Many behavioral principles found in the Bible get recommended here for completely scientific reasons. If you can't get the is book Thessalonians I and Matthew 6 will be a very close and less expensive substitute.
