Synopsis

What stops you winning and performing at your best? Your ego.

Your ego ensures you get in the way of yourself when you're doing something important: whether you're preparing for school exams, taking your driving test, playing sport, speaking in public or making a business presentation. Whatever you do, your ego is sure to interfere with your performance.

We all have egos: it's our natural defence system which is triggered when we experience strong emotions such as anxiety and fear. Steven Sylvester's inspiring and ground-breaking approach focuses on a brand new approach to winning. He believes the pursuit of winning, like smoking, should come with a Government Health Warning - it can seriously damage your health.

This is a journey of self-discovery, a process that enables you to build self-esteem and have a higher degree of freedom when performing. In DETOX YOUR EGO, Sylvester shares for the very first time the seven easy steps to be freer, happier and more successful in your life.

Goodreads review by Daniel on January 12, 2022

Some interesting takes, but largely felt rather overdone. Each chapter seemed to repeat itself, filling the reader with a sense of being lectured, as if I were simple. I enjoyed the overall mindset presented, and honestly feel there is real value in the message. It’s probably just 100 pages too long......more

Goodreads review by Sharang on June 24, 2017

Sorry, but this is a waste of time. I feel sorry because Sylvester genuinely believes he has a unique message for mankind. Unfortunately for him, the message is nothing but a collection of platitudes and homilies. I am not sure if he set out to right a sports psychology book as 90 percent of his cas......more
