Synopsis

Fear of doing badly can prevent us from achieving our goals, doing well in our careers and enjoying some of the most important times of our lives. Performance anxiety affects many people in many different ways: doing exams, going for job interviews, giving presentations and speaking in public. Many famous musicians suffer from performance anxiety, including Pavarotti, Carly Simon and Barbra Streisand. This text provides a method for overcoming this anxiety. Based on cognitive-behaviour therapy, it provides a series of processes and exercises to help change thought and behaviour patterns in order to allow the person to perform with a sense of confidence and pleasure.
