Improve yourself in this gym without breaking a sweat!, 28 Feb 2005

By	C. M. Perkins (Stirling, Scotland.) - See all my reviews

There is a solid underpinning of well-researched psychology, combined with dozens of practical tools and examples. The Mind Gym have taken the best, most useful theories and presented them in easy to understand ways, illustrating them with real-world examples from many of the participants at their 'Workout' training sessions.

Some of the things this book can help you with:

Develop a more take-charge attitude
Stop procrastinating
Sort out where your life is going and make big decisions
Make a more positive impact on others
Become more influential
Get on better with others, have more gravitas and resolve conflicts
Change other people's attitudes without upsetting them
Break bad news in a sensitive way
Reduce your stress levels
Become a better creative thinker

It's full of interesting self-assessments and you get access to their website for even more useful tools. There's just the right combination of interaction, anecdotes and explanation; and it's structured as a book you can dip into and get ideas straight away for any particular life challenge you face.

All in all, a book that will make a difference - if you USE all the good stuff in it.

For some further reading, have a look at '(Inner) FITness and the FIT Corporation' by Ben Fletcher, also about 'mental fitness'.
