Quatrième de couverture:

'A wonderful mix of empirical studies and firsthand accounts that show how pressure impacts our personal and professional lives' Forbes

DON'T LET PRESSURE HOLD YOU BACK

Despite sports mythology, no one 'rises to the occasion' under pressure and does better than they do in practice. Pressure ruthlessly diminishes your judgment, decision-making, attention, dexterity, and performance. It is the greatest obstacle to personal success, whether at work, at home, on the golf course or interviewing for a job. But there are things you can do to diminish its effects.

In How to Perform Under Pressure, Hendrie Weisinger and J.P. Pawliw-Fry introduce the concept of pressure management and give empirically tested short-term and long-term solutions to help you overcome the debilitating effects of pressure.

The book draws on research from over 12,000 people, and features the latest research from neuroscience and from the frontline experiences of elite athletes and Fortune 500 employees and managers. It explains what makes people 'choke' under pressure and includes 22 strategies you can use to excel in whatever you do.

Whether you have an important presentation to make or an Olympic record to beat, How to Perform Under Pressure will help you do your best when it matters most.

'All too often, we choke or crumble under pressure. This book reveals how we can develop nerves of steel' Adam Grant, professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take
