The Playmaker's Advantage: How to Raise Your Mental Game to the Next Level
by Leonard Zaichkowsky Daniel PetersonDiscover how to improve your mental game—the next frontier in sports training—no matter your age or experience and become the Playmaker or the decisive general on the court or field.Coaches search for it. Parents dream of it. Fans love it. Athletes want it. The Playmaker on any sports team possesses it: an elusive, intangible quality combining anticipation, perception, and decision-making skills. This quality raises their game above the competition and allows them to pass when no one else can, anticipate the movement of opponents, and avoid costly mental mistakes, thus holding the team together. Using today’s technology and tools, it is now possible to understand, assess, and train this sixth sense rather than just hope it magically appears. Now, for the first time, cognitive science research is revealing the secrets of the Playmaker’s keen sense of awareness. Just as tests of speed, strength, and agility have provided a baseline of physiological biomarkers, coaches can now capture cognitive metrics including attention, pattern recognition, anticipation, and the ability to take quick, decisive action during the chaos of competition. The Playmaker’s Advantage is a groundbreaking book that will educate athletes of all ages about this essential creative capability in an accessible, easy to understand method.

Success: The false myth of failure.
by Albert ZaidWe have always been formed in the mistaken belief that success is reserved for only a few people, and that the rest of us have to be content with waiting for luck to come to us to achieve what we yearn for. This book explains and develops the thesis that all human beings are genetically configured to seek and achieve success, that we do it naturally, spontaneously, without realizing it, and that no one can escape it because it is impossible to overcome the logical laws that govern our thoughts. It shows how erroneous conceptions of the world around us directly affect the conditioning of our thoughts, diverting us from the pursuit of the goals we have set for ourselves. It contains a detailed exposition about intolerance to frustration, its fundamental causes, its harmful effects, and how to correct it. A text that will help you discover yourself, get rid of the obstacles that prevent you from moving forward, and set realistic goals that you will ALWAYS be able to achieve. In short, a book that will serve as a guide and orientation for the paths to SUCCESS.
Successo. L`Unico Modo Possibile: Il falso mito del fallimento
by Albert ZaidDa sempre siamo stati indotti a credere erroneamente che il successo sia riservato solo a poche persone e che il resto di noi debba accontentarsi di aspettare che arrivi la fortuna per raggiungere ciò che desideriamo. Questo libro spiega e sviluppa la tesi secondo cui tutti gli esseri umani sono geneticamente configurati per cercare e raggiungere il successo, che lo facciamo in modo naturale, spontaneo, senza rendercene conto, e che non c'è nessuno che possa sfuggirci perché è impossibile vincere le leggi logiche che governano i nostri pensieri. Dimostra in che modo le concezioni sbagliate sul mondo che ci circonda incidono direttamente sul condizionamento dei nostri pensieri, deviandoci dal perseguimento degli obiettivi che ci siamo proposti. Contiene una dettagliata esposizione sull'intolleranza alla frustrazione, le sue cause fondamentali, i suoi effetti nocivi e come correggerla. Un testo che ti aiuterà a scoprire te stesso, a liberarti dagli ostacoli che ti impediscono di avanzare, e a tracciare traguardi realistici che SEMPRE potrai raggiungere. Insomma, un libro che ti guiderà e ti guiderà lungo le strade verso il SUCCESSO.
Sucesso - A Única Rota Possível
by Albert ZaidNós sempre fomos treinados na crença errônea de que o sucesso é reservado apenas para algumas pessoas, e que o resto tem que se contentar com a espera pela sorte para nos alcançar para alcançar o que queremos. Este livro explica e desenvolve a tese segundo a qual todos os seres humanos são geneticamente configurados para buscar e alcançar o sucesso, nós fazemos isso naturalmente, espontaneamente, sem perceber, e que não há ninguém que possa escapar porque é impossível superar as leis lógicas que governam nossos pensamentos. Isso mostra como concepções errôneas sobre o mundo ao nosso redor afetam diretamente o condicionamento de nossos pensamentos, desviando-nos da busca das metas que propusemos. Ele contém uma exposição detalhada sobre a intolerância à frustração, suas causas, seus efeitos prejudiciais e como corrigi-lo.

The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World
by Jamil Zaki'In this masterpiece, Jamil Zaki weaves together the very latest science with stories that will stay in your heart forever' - Angela Duckworth, author of Grit 'Scientific, gripping, groundbreaking and hopeful. The War for Kindness is the message for our times' - Carol Dweck, author of Mindset Empathy has been on people's mind a lot lately. Philosophers, evolutionary scientists and indeed former President Obama agree that an increase in empathy could advance us beyond the hatred, violence and polarization in which the world seems caught. Others disagree, arguing it is easiest to empathize with people who look, talk or think like us. As a result, empathy can inspire nepotism, racism and worse. Having studied the neuroscience and psychology of empathy for over a decade, Jamil Zaki thinks both sides of this debate have a point. Empathy is sometimes an engine for moral progress, and other times for moral failure. But Zaki also thinks that both sides are wrong about how empathy works. Both scientists and non-scientists commonly argue that empathy is something that happens to you, sort of like an emotional knee-jerk reflex. Second, they believe it happens more to some people than others. This lines people up along a spectrum, with deep empaths on one end and psychopaths on the other. What's more, wherever we are on that spectrum, we're stuck there. In The War for Kindness, Zaki lays out a very different view of how empathy works, one that breaks these two assumptions. Empathy is not a reflex; it's a choice. We choose empathy (or apathy) constantly: when we read a tragic novel, or cross the street to avoid a homeless person, or ask a distraught friend what's the matter. This view has crucial consequences: if empathy is less a trait (like height), and more a skill (like being good at word games), then we can improve at it. By choosing it more often, we can flex our capabilities and grow more empathic over time. We can also "tune" empathy, ramping it up in situations where it will help and turning it down when it might backfire. Zaki takes us from the world of doctors who train medical students to empathise better to social workers who help each other survive empathising too much. From police trainers who help cadets avoid becoming violent cops to political advocates who ask white Americans to literally walk a (dusty) mile in Mexican immigrants' shoes. This book will give you a deepened understanding of how empathy works, how to control it and how to become the type of empathiser you want to be.

In keeping with the preceding editions, this book introduces students to concepts, techniques, strategies, tips, and ideas to help them be academically stronger students, advance faster in their studies, and demonstrate what they have learned more effectively—in short, how anyone can learn to be a better learner by learning how to learn in harmony with their brain.

As a young boy he was a troublemaker but his will to succeed drove him on to become an Olympian at the 1936 Games. With the outbreak of war, Louis volunteered for the army and was thrust into the violent combat of the Second World War as a B-24 bombardier. While on a rescue mission Louis's plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean, leaving him stranded and drifting 2000 miles in a small raft for 47 days. Against all the odds he survived.

Don't Give Up, Don't Give In: Lessons from an Extraordinary Life
by Louis Zamperini David RensinNew York Times bestsellerMore than 100,000 copies in printCompleted just two days before Louis Zamperini’s death at age ninety-seven, Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In shares a lifetime of wisdom, insight, and humor from “one of the most incredible American lives of the past century” (People). Zamperini’s story has touched millions through Laura Hillenbrand’s biography Unbroken and its blockbuster movie adaptation directed by Angelina Jolie. Now, in his own words, Zamperini reveals with warmth and great charm the essential values and lessons that sustained him throughout his remarkable journey.He was a youthful troublemaker from California who turned his life around to become a 1936 Olympian. Putting aside his track career, he volunteered for the army before Pearl Harbor and was thrust into World War II as a B-24 bombardier. While on a rescue mission, his plane went down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where he survived against all odds, drifting two thousand miles in a small raft for forty-seven days. His struggle was only beginning: Zamperini was captured by the Japanese, and for more than two years he courageously endured torture and psychological abuse in a series of prisoner-of-war camps. He returned home to face more dark hours, but in 1949 Zamperini’s life was transformed by a spiritual rebirth that would guide him through the next sixty-five years of his long and happy life. Louis Zamperini’s Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In is an extraordinary last testament that captures the wisdom of a life lived to the fullest.
