Publisher's Synopsis
From one of the world's top performance psychologists--a proven framework for overcoming the primary obstacle to success: fear In more than twenty years helping leaders and athletes reach their true potential, renowned sports psychologist and culture coach Dr. Pippa Grange has found that even the most successful people experience fears of inadequacy. What sets them apart is their ability to pinpoint their fears and turn down the volume. In Fear Less, Grange walks you through the process of identifying and facing the fears that manifest in perfectionism, jealousy, self-criticism, and harsh judgment, and replacing those fears with acceptance, purpose, passion, or laughter--to name just a few. And she provides effective fear-management techniques for facing moments of critical pressure, including: ● Processing--through conscious tactics that bring the mind back to where you want it: the job at hand ● Distraction--deliberately focusing on other tasks when there's nothing active to be done about what you actually fear ● Rationalization--drawing on the actual facts and evidence to talk yourself through the situation
