Synopsis

Believe and be unshakable.

The Director of West Point’s influential Performance Psychology Program shares the secrets of mental toughness and self-belief in this definitive guide to mastering confidence, the key to peak performance in any field.

Dr. Nate Zinsser has spent his career training the minds of the U.S. Military Academy’s cadets as they prepare to lead and perform when the stakes are the very highest―on the battlefield. Alongside this work, he has coached world-class athletes including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, professional ballerinas, NHL All-Stars, and college All-Americans, teaching them to overcome pressure and use powerful mental skills to succeed on the biggest stages.

Dr. Zinsser has come to understand that one single trait above all others makes peak performance possible: confidence, or the belief in oneself. Whether your mission involves leading a platoon into combat, returning an opponent’s serve, or delivering a sales pitch to a roomful of skeptical prospects, you perform best when you are so certain about your abilities that your flow of fear, doubts, and confusion slows to the barest minimum. What’s more, Dr. Zinsser has come to understand that confidence is a skill that can be taught, improved, and applied by anyone to enhance nearly every aspect of our lives and careers with the right mindset.

Now, for the first time, Dr. Zinsser distills his research and years of experience, offering a fascinating guide to the science of confidence and providing readers with a practical, step-by-step program for self-help for success to best harness their belief in themselves to achieve success in any field. The Confident Mind is a complete guide to confidence: how to understand it, how to build it, how to protect it, and how to rely upon it when your performance matters most.

This battle-tested guide to unshakable performance delivers:

• Mental Toughness: Learn the same mental skills taught to U.S. Military Academy cadets and elite athletes to perform when the stakes are the very highest.
• Overcome Pressure: Shift your thinking to slow the flow of fear and doubt and achieve success on the biggest stages―from the battlefield to the boardroom.
• The Science of Confidence: Go beyond simple self-belief with a fascinating look at how confidence works, why it’s a teachable skill, and how to apply it to every aspect of your life.
• A Step-by-Step Program: Follow a practical, actionable framework to build your confidence, protect it from setbacks, and rely on it when your performance matters most.
