Synopsis

Is attachment to results ruining your game? Does it seem like the harder you try the less you achieve? Using the unique analogy of golf, this book will help you in mastering the game on both green and in your personal life without the frustration of falling short. 

Do you want to learn to:  

• Forgive yourself when falling short? 
• Overcome the overthinking and self criticism that often accompanies an effort to personal growth?
• Try less and do more? 

This book takes a deep dive into the game of golf and the psychology of the swing to teach us how to be more compassionate with ourselves while being unrelenting on our path to become the best. Golf is not a game of perfect and neither is life. 

This is a book every golfer, athlete and competitor dedicated to mastering the game in life should read. The author draws from his own personal experience of leaving behind attachment to results while analyzing the thought and practices of some of golf’s greatest legends and challenging courses. 

In this read you will learn to: 

• Easily prioritize what is most important to you on and off the course 
• Free yourself from the imprisoning “perfectionism” mind trap that freezes your ability to act 
• Discover where you are in your field of expertise and what is your next best step in mastering the game 
• Live with great expectations while leaving behind attachment to results
• Try less and do more in your both your swing and your daily goals  

In the words of PGA tour champion, Jason Gore, "This book (Zilosophy) has shown me that we make this game, which I think is a microcosm of life, way more difficult than it needs to be.” 

If you want to build the mindset to simplify and master your own game, Zilosophy could be your next favorite read. The relatable, humorous tone laced with fascinating golf anecdotes make it a leisurely read to personal empowerment by detaching from results, trying less, and mastering the game one swing at a time. Are you a double bogey or an eagle?

About this title

About the Author

Growing up in a small town outside of Boston, Michael Zildjian (“Z”) never dreamt of being a writer. When he decided to move across the country to go to college at Pepperdine in Malibu, CA, a whole world opened up to him that he had never imagined. Talk about culture shock. Since then, he has traveled to 45 of the continental United States, and has dived head first into the cultures of a dozen or so international countries. He has met people from all walks of life, from rock stars to geologists, sharing his stories and his philosophical views about life while drinking adult beverages or playing a round of golf. And make no mistake; Z has played a lot of golf in a lot of places. After moving on from careers as a concert promoter/producer, artist manager, licensing rep for TV/film, marketing/branding consultant, bartender, rideshare driver, and a disposable lighter repairman, to name just a few, Z decided it was time to take his passion for philosophical conversations to the next level. And thus Zilosophy was born. A place where Z could build a platform for public dialogue about the things he had always collaboratively pondered with friends, family and strangers. Z is not a therapist, and he makes no professional therapeutic claims about his musings. He’s just a dude you want to have a beer with in hopes you might get some needed perspective on life – or a good laugh. Or both. Z now tours the U.S. and internationally speaking about Zilosophy at golf clubs, schools, corporate offices, barnyards, arcades and anywhere else people want to learn ways to bring their best to the golf course and beyond.
