Quite the mish-mash of pop-psychology and philosophy from an athlete's perspective which touches on a few important ideas. There are only a few central themes here mostly derived from Buddhist and Stoic philosophy, and maybe some therapy literature. The author talks about visualization, dichotomy of control, the state of flow, cultivation of good habits, and so on. While most of it makes sense, all of it could have been summarized in a single chapter. The book is verbose with examples after examples of specific athletes the author happens to know or know of. Everything is anecdotal and generalizations abound from handful of observations. The credibility only comes from the ideas being picked from revered existing schools of thoughts which the author doesn't really acknowledge, making it sound like they are coming up with these on their own. I'd say a 2.5/5 for some useful insights but it'd benefit from a CliffNotes version.
