• Adaptive Thinking—replace negative thoughts with positive ones
• Stress/Energy Management—keep your cool no matter what
• Attention Control—maintain focus despite distractions
• Imagery—see success before it happens.Together, the skills form the core of this complete brain-training program, packed with guidelines, examples, exercises, assessments, and the latest advances in biofeedback and neuroscience.By learning to harness the power of your mind, you’ll achieve extraordinary results when it matters most.
