Advanced Mind Power For Warriors or Businessmen

Though written with a view toward wide-ranging applications, including modern business, this text is possibly the best, most in-depth training manual on advanced human performance training methods derived from the Asian Martial Arts and esoteric sciences ever written. Of TREMENDOUS value to martial arts practitioners, Special Forces soldiers, Commandos, SWAT teams and trainers in the area of advanced human development as well as those involved in high-level corporate business, this manual is of greater value than can be accurately described in this space. It contains many formerly secret training methods developed and used by both U.S. Army Intelligence and the CIA. A now very rare and hard-to-obtain text. Buy it if you can find one for sale.

Ahead of it's time!

This is an interesting book on the subject of enhancing human performance. While the book was geared toward the field of business, it has direct applications to other fields such as self-defense and martial arts. Although the title is about "psychic" techniques for performance enhancement, it is not a book of esoteric study. Instead it is a scientific study of various methods of enhancing the mind and the body through non-traditional training techniques. While there are other books that cover some of these techniques, this is the only title I have seen that covers them in such detail. I would recommend this title to anyone interested in improving themselves. It's too bad that such a great title is out of print.

The Warriors Edge

As one in the business and a practitioner, this is a very good book to have and keep.

Skills and Techniques for every situation!

The book while explaining cutting edge reserarch in the military, really is an excellent book about developing the skills and technqiues on how to expertly master new skills, influence others skillfully and ethically, goal-setting, and many other topics. Very unique information, using a lot of neuro-linguistic programming. Really enjoyed the chapter on reality mapping, in helping me to understand that other people interpret the world according to their own assumptions and values. Great book. Highly recommend, because it's not about killing, but living your life and achieving your full potential.

Fascinating

This book was the first to reveal some experimental work in the field of "Enhancing Human Performance" carried out by the US military & intelligence community. A significant core of the book, for me, was the previously classified material on "The Jedi Project", which utilised NLP and similar advanced learning technologies to train soldiers in pistol shooting, with dramatic results. Other chapters deal with topics which have since become more widely, and controversially known , such as Remote Viewing. All in all The Warrior's Edge displays a fascinating junction of military practicality and new age beliefs.
