Product Description

Product Description
Many people have dreams they would like to realise and things about their lives that they would like to change. However, relatively few people have the mental strength to break outside their comfort zone and to take the steps needed. Fear, self-doubt, lack of confidence, or simply being overawed by the tasks ahead can stop you achieving your true potential. There is nothing we cannot achieve and nothing we cannot become if we have the mental strength needed to reach our goals. Mental Strength gives clear, encouraging guidance on how to develop a strong and powerful mind, grow your talents, become the person you want to be, and live the life you want to live. For the mentally strong, nothing is impossible!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, 25 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This book outlines how you can gain the necessary mental resolve and determination to overcome any of life's challenges. If you've read personal development books before some of the themes will be familiar - chapters cover such topics as the nature of mental resistance, quality of thought, taking the right action, developing consistency and talent as well as getting focused and learning how to think differently.

What sets Mental Strength apart from other similar books? For a start it is written in plain English. It's not full of psychobabble or dodgy new age techniques.

More importantly the author is not a guru - he's an ordinary guy who has achieved his dreams and is writing from experience. The methods illustrated in the book are proven. There are plenty of Iain's personal anecdotes (both martial arts and other situations) along the way to show how each idea is used in real life. Indeed on a number of occasions throughout the book I thought to myself "Hey, that sounds exactly like me!"

Mental Strength is written in a non patronising style. The tone of the book is more like chatting to a good mate down the pub than listening to some overpaid "expert".

Achieving goals isn't just about sitting there doing your affirmations. You have to get up and take action. Your first task after deciding what you want to do is to overcome resistance and develop your mental strength to proceed. Iain Abernethy's book shows you how and should be an essential addition to your collection. The lessons to be learned in the book are applicable both inside and outside the dojo. A great read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Telling you what you should know already, 30 April 2009
By C. Tymon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is reasonably well written and will help some but, personally, I found it to be a one trick pony.
The one trick: Doing new things is difficult - This will be uncomfortable - You have to push yourself out of your comfort zone to achieve anything in life............and that's it really. If you didn't already know that then you do now. The whole rest of the text is just that theory re-worded with anecdotes.
There are many books offering advice and mind set techniques which are more useful.
I wouldn't bother with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, 6 Aug 2005
By A Customer
Mental Strength is not some dreary self-help book, but rather an energy-filled, highly motivating text which tells you, in plain and simple terms, how to best condition ourselves to achieve our goals. The book is smart, and often humorous and entertaining.
