Synopsis:

Most people think that talent is genetically determined. The truth about human performance is far more encouraging, Bob Rotella believes that anyone can develop real talent - a combination of character, attitude, and devotion, which make greatness possible.

Review: Tom Cousins CEO, Cousins Property Incorporated We all have far more real talent than most of us realize. We lock it away within ourselves. Bob Rotella shows us how to liberate it, to put it to work in our lives so we can get the most out of ourselves and give the give the most to those around us. Patrick J. WalshSenior V.P., Group Employee Services, Merrill LynchBob Rotella's official title is Sports Psychologist, but he is really in the business of performance enhancement. His teaching and philosophy transcend the sports arena and are applicable to every aspect of a successful person's life. Gary GershCEO, Capitol and Blue Note RecordsI called Dr. Bob after continually reading how numerous golfers whom I respected had worked with him to reach new levels of success. What I learned from Doc was that my goal of becoming a better golfer would actually unlock a better person. I now relate his teachings to all aspects of my business and it continues to reap rewards on a daily basis. Tom CousinsCEO, Cousins Property IncorporatedWe all have far more real talent than most of us realize. We lock it away within ourselves. Bob Rotella shows us how to liberate it, to put it to work in our lives so we can get the most out of ourselves and give the give the most to those around us. Tom ScottCo-President, Nantucket NectarsWe all have the ability to succeed -- we're born with it. Too often, that ability is hidden behind fear and misplaced reliance on traditional theories and paths. Doctor Bob teaches us how to re-find that ability and how to use it. I apply it to work, to sports -- to all aspects of life. Bernie ButlerPresident, Pizza Huts of Eastern North CarolinaAfter reading Bob Rotella's books and attending several of his seminars, I've become his fan, friend, and disciple. His seminars about positive thinking in golf inspire similar thinking in business. We can apply to business the sports-related attitudes about winning, positive thinking, and opportunity. These attitudes breed the same success in both sports and business.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Most people think talent is genetically determined. Either you can sing or you can't. You get maths or it's beyond you. You have what it takes to succeed - or you don't. The truth about human performance is far more encouraging, says Dr. Bob Rotella, the bestselling author of GOLF IS NOT A GAME OF PERFECT and GOLF IS A GAME OF CONFIDENCE. Dr. Rotella believes that talent, as conventionally defined and measured, plays a secondary role in determining one's fate. Far more important is real talent, a combination of character, attitude, and devotion, which makes greatness possible. And the good news is that anyone can develop real talent. As always, Dr. Bob Rotella speaks from experience. He has made a career of helping people chase and catch their dreams. His authority as a sports psychologist is well known. Golfers from Tom Kite to David Duval have relied on him to help them break through to triumphs on the PGA tour. But Dr. Rotella's practice extends beyond the sports world. He is a consultant on performance enhancement to leading businesses such as Merrill Lynch and Pepsico. He has worked with successful pople in businesses ranging from law to entertainment. Whether you think so or not, real talent is within your grasp. In LIFE IS NOT A GAME OF PERFECT, Dr. Bob Rotella will help you make it a decisive element in your life. He can show you how to identify and cultivate the qualities that lead to success, prosperity, and happiness. Solid binding.
