Your best performance yet starts in your mind....When the pressure is mounting, and all eyes are on you, you're going to have to dig deep and pull out your best performance yet. Your heart is pounding, the adrenaline is pumping, and you've done everything you can to physically prepare yourself for this moment. But hang on, what about the mental preparation? Preparing your mind is one of the most important things you can do to prepare yourself mentally. You don't need to be a professional athlete to accomplish tremendous feats. Everyone has the potential within them to take their athletic performance to greater heights, but only if you're doing the adequate amount of preparation. As you might have figured by now, physical preparation and training alone are not going to be enough. Warming up your mind is just as important as warming up your body physically. It isn't just your body that is going to be involved in the competition; your mind is just as much a part of the game as the rest of you. You wouldn't run a race without first making sure your body is able and ready to take on the physical demands of running, and likewise, your mind should be just as adequately prepared to perform at its optimum level. Prepare Your Mind: Mental Warm-Ups to Achieve Excellent Performance in Sport is the essential guidebook that you need to take your competitive mental preparation to the next level. Discover why mental training matters more than you think, how to develop a winner's mindset, why making goals and commitments matter and more. Your mind is your most powerful sporting equipment, bring it to every game fully warmed up and watch as you experience a dramatic shift in your performance.

Dr. Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan’s 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain translates the latest brain science into practical strategies and exercises that yield quick and long- lasting benefits. Misplacing your keys, forgetting someone’s name at a party, or coming home from the market without the most important item — these are just some of the many common memory slips we all experience from time to time. But such cognitive lapses don’t just plague middle-agers and seniors; UCLA studies indicate that forgetfulness begins much earlier in life. Scientists can detect subtle changes in the brain that coincide with mental decline by the time we reach age 40, and our findings show that people as young as 20 already have memory problems. 2 Weeks to a Younger Brain will not only improve your memory, but will also strengthen your physical health by reducing your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The latest research confirms that there is a lot we can do to boost our memory and keep our brains young. After three decades of helping thousands of patients improve their memory and mental acuity, Dr. Small and Gorgan are convinced that our daily lifestyle habits are directly linked to our brain health. This book will show that it only takes two weeks to form new habits that bolster cognitive abilities and help stave off, or even reverse, brain aging. If you commit only 14 days to 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain, you will reap noticeable results. During that brief period, you will have learned the secrets to keeping your brain young for the rest of your life.

THIS BOOK WAS BANNED FROM TELEVISION Mike Cernovich is considered one of the most controversial writers living today, as he tells the truth without fear of offending the politically correct or weak-minded. Cernovich has been attacked by Gawker, Newsweek, Washington Post, and other politically correct publications. MSNBC even had a guest on to discuss Cernovich's "mean Tweets." Danger & Play, Cernovich's flagship website, has been read by millions of people worldwide and his later book Gorilla Mindset became an immediate best seller. In the Essays on Masculnity, you'll be exposed to what most consider a radical and outrageous way of living your life. Namely, you'll learn how to shed slave emotions like guilt and shame to begin - perhaps for the first time ever - living life on your terms. Be forewarned. While you will agree with one essay, you will disagree with another. No one agrees with everything Cernovich writes, which is a point of pride for him. Cernovich does not write for the slow or the weak. He writes for independent men (and even some women) who aren't afraid to have their ideas about the world challenged. Find out what millions of others have learned by reading Essays on Embracing Masculinity.
