Synopsis:

The timeless guide to achieving the state of "relaxed concentration"—the key to peak performance in tennis and the secret to success in life itself—now in a 50th anniversary edition with an updated epilogue, a foreword by Bill Gates, and a new preface from NFL coach Pete Carroll.

“Groundbreaking . . . the best guide to getting out of your own way . . . Its profound advice applies to many other parts of life.” — Bill Gates, GatesNotes (“Five of My All-Time Favorite Books”)

This phenomenally successful guide to mastering the game from the inside out has become a touchstone for hundreds of thousands of readers. Billie Jean King has called the book her tennis bible; Al Gore has used it to focus his campaign staff; and Itzhak Perlman has recommended it to young violinists. Based on W. Timothy Gallwey’s realization that success doesn’t depend on perfect technique but on keeping the mind uncluttered, this transformative book provides tools to unlock the potential you’ve possessed all along.

The Inner Game is the one played within the mind of the player—against self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses in concentration. Gallwey shows how to overcome these obstacles by trusting the intuitive wisdom of the body and achieving a state of relaxed concentration. With chapters devoted to trusting the self and changing habits, it’s no surprise that Gallwey’s method has had an impact far beyond the tennis court.

Whether you want to play music, write a novel, advance your career, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey reveals how to tap into your fullest potential. In this fiftieth-anniversary edition, the timeless principles of the Inner Game shine more brightly than ever—offering a definitive framework for long-term success in any area of life.
