Nobody performs better under pressure. Regardless of the task, pressure ruthlessly diminishes our judgment, decision-making, attention, dexterity, and performance in every professional and personal arena. In Performing Under Pressure, Drs. Hendrie Weisinger and J.P. Pawliw-Fry introduce us to the concept of pressure management, offering empirically tested short term and long term solutions to help us overcome the debilitating effects of pressure.

Performing Under Pressure tackles the greatest obstacle to personal success, whether in a sales presentation, at home, on the golf course, interviewing for a job, or performing onstage at Carnegie Hall. Despite sports mythology, no one "rises to the occasion" under pressure and does better than they do in practice. The reality is pressure makes us do worse, and sometimes leads us to fail utterly. But there are things we can do to diminish its effects on our performance.

Performing Under Pressure draws on research from over 12,000 people, and features the latest research from neuroscience and from the frontline experiences of Fortune 500 employees and managers, Navy SEALS, Olympic and other elite athletes, and others. It offers 22 specific strategies each of us can use to reduce pressure in our personal and professional lives and allow us to better excel in whatever we do.

Whether you're a corporate manager, a basketball player, or a student preparing for the SAT, Performing Under Pressure will help you to do your best when it matters most.

G'day mate!
Format: Kindle
I frequently heard this was good, but it's taken me a long time to get around to checking it out for myself. Happy to say the testimonials didn't disappoint. If a book could give you the feeling of a lazy day on a pontoon boat casually casting over the side and drinking some spiked lemonade while the radio plays... This is probably as close as it gets. Humorous premise, entertaining characters, cozy moments.

I loved this book!
Format: Kindle
I have to admit that I am not a fisherman. My memories of fishing with my father mainly consist of him, getting frustrated with me as I threw rocks into the lake near his pole. However, I recognized the intense love of fishing from my dad reflected in the main character of this book. Mr. Jobson has done an incredible job of writing a story that has many twists and turns, is engaging and entertaining, and is a surprising breath of fresh air. Absolutely loved it! Would recommend to anyone looking for a positive literary escape.

Good read…
Format: Kindle
I liked the book. But, I didn’t like the romance aspect of it. Felt somewhat forced. The last 10% or so was a slog to get through. I don’t like feeling like you can’t wait for something to be over. I would have skipped but it was the last chapters of the book and it felt a bit lazy; it wasn’t as if I didn’t want to know what happened… I can’t explain it. I’m not at all sure I’ll continue the series. Do I recommend it? Yeah, I guess I do. It’s not a bad book and I’m sure a lot of people would really like it. I liked it too, just not at the end.
