Customer Reviews

Although dated, this is a very good book

Few books that I have read put it all together as well as "Mentally Tough." I saw it in the used book pile for just 18 cents. That would be the best money you ever spent. Forget all the exercise, diet and other self-help books. Take a look at this one. I find myself, after reading many similar books, coming back to "Mentally Tough."

Mentally Tough

I attended a workshop by the author and read his book following the seminar. Both focused on the fact that one must have balance in ones life to be successful. It pointed out that to be mentally tough you must also work on physical fitness. As a result, I lost over 20lbs., ran a marathon, have more time and energy to accomplish more in my life than I ever have. This program is realistic and attainable for the busiest person.

Excellent lifestyle recipe for sharpening your abilities.

This book was used in seminars at Apple to keep employees at peak performance mentally and physically. It outlines a detailed strategy for adjusting your body chemistry through a combination of diet, exercise, and laughter. I've just finished a weight-loss diet that dropped me 20 pounds to my ideal weight. Now I am going on the mentally tough program to maintain myself at peak performance
