I developed my sports psychology and meditation books because I saw the necessity for a system that could support athletes and people from every walk of life in the development of their mental games between our meetings. A sports psychology or meditation system has to provide a way of helping us change our thinking and our behavior. I found other approaches to development were highly focused on changing thinking while the behavioral part was lacking a systematic approach to implement. Other approaches seemed be suggesting that all we need for meaningful change to occur are some sound principles and inspirational stories. Then the clients would magically know how to apply them skillfully in their situations.
My books are essentially handbooks of mental game tools that you use on a daily basis rather than a collection of ideas that you read about and try to implement. I developed my books beginning with the emphasis on implementing meaningful change and then supported the practices with just enough background to provide context.
If you purchase one of my books and try to read it like a novel, you'll find some helpful ideas, but you'll be missing the main purpose and what's unique about the books. I don't have any inspirational or motivational stories in my books. I provide you with the tools you need to inspire and motivate yourself. With daily meditation, you'll read a couple paragraphs and then put your imagination into gear and see, feel and hear where your imagination leads you. You'll find that your imagination, with some practice, will be highly skilled at knowing how to move back and forth efficiently between thought and action. The experiences you'll have in your mental practices will lead to specific and effective strategies of getting into action and moving forward rapidly.
