Reviews
"Drawing upon 16 years of research and clinical experience, noted sports psychologist Loehr presents a comprehensive training program to convert stress into emotional, mental, and physical toughness. Such toughness is needed to achieve maximum productivity, health, and happiness in life, he claims. According to Loehr, the model in this program is a 'quantum leap' beyond that detailed in his previous work, Mental Toughness Training for Sports. Here, he adapts and expands his former model to treat topics such as toughness training for kids, women, the military, and recovering from rough times. Particularly interesting are chapters on the chemistry of toughness and strengthening the immune system. Aided by numerous charts, case studies, exercises, and a glossary, Loehr combines research with readable prose to provide superior stress management advice."-Library Journal
"Jim Loehr has done it again! His continuing efforts to make us learn more about mental toughness can help people in all walks of life."-Mark H. McCormack, #1 New York Times bestselling author of What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School
"Shows us how to get stronger and more productive in life... practical tips for people of all ages and interests."-Stan Smith, U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion, and seven-time Davis Cup winner
"Establishes a 'mind-body connection,' which, when developed, reduces overall stress, increases energy and productivity, improves health, and helps achieves greater happiness from life."-Tennis Week
"Should be required reading for anyone who wants to manage stress effectively."-Tennis magazine
