Mastery (Hardcover) $38.23 The eagerly anticipated new book from the author of the bestselling The 48 Laws of PowerWhat did Charles Darwin, middling schoolboy and underachieving second son, do to become one of the earliest and greatest naturalists the world has known? What were the similar choices made by Mozart and by Caesar Rodriguez, the U.S. Air Force`s last ace fighter pilot? In Mastery, Robert Greene`s fifth book, he mines the biographies of great historical figures for clues about gaining control over our own lives and destinies. Picking up where The 48 Laws of Power left off, Greene culls years of research and original interviews to blend historical anecdote and psychological insight, distilling the universal ingredients of the world`s masters.Temple Grandin, Martha Graham, Henry Ford, Buckminster Fuller?all have lessons to offer about how the love for doing one thing exceptionally well can lead to mastery. Yet the secret, Greene maintains, is already in our heads. Debunking long-held cultural myths, he demonstrates just how we, as humans, are hardwired for achievement and supremacy. Fans of Greene`s earlier work and Malcolm Gladwell`s Outliers will eagerly devour this canny and erudite explanation of just what it takes to be great. |

The Mastery of Movement $42.9 Labans The Mastery of Movement on the Stage, first published in 1950, quickly came to be accepted as the standard work on his conception of human move ment. When he died, Laban was in the process of preparing a new edition of the book, and so for some time after his death it was out of print. That a second edition appeared was solely due to the efforts of Lisa Ullmann, who, better than any other person, was aware of the changes that Laban had intended to make. The rather broader treatment of the subject made advis able the change of title, for it was recognised that the book would appeal to all who seek to understand movement as a force in life.In this fourth edition Lisa Ullmann has taken the opportunity to make margin annotations to indicate the subject matter referred to in a particular section of the text, so that specified topics may be easily found. Kinetograms have been added to most of the examples in Chapters 2 and 3, as Laban originally intended, for the growing number of people who read and write movement notation. Lisa Ullmann has also compiled an Appendix on the the structure of effort, drawing largely on material from an unpublished book by Laban.The relationship between the inner motivation of movement and the outer functioning of the body is explored. Acting and dancing are shown as activities deeply concerned with mans urge to establish values and meanings. The student is introduced to basic principles underlying movement expres sion and experience and the numerous exercises are intended to challenge his or her intellectual, emotional and physical responses. The many descrip tions of movement scenes and minedances are designed to stimulate penetra tion into mans inner life from where movement and action originate. Author: Laban, Rudolf/ Ullmann, Lisa Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 210 Publication Date: 2011/03/31 Language: English Dimensions: 9.69 x 7.44 x 0.44 inches |

A Golf Lesson On Beating Tiger Woods
Ben Hogan scoffed at the idea. Jack Nicklaus spurned it. Gary player scorned it. Among the game's most respected legends, they disdained the idea of using a sports psychologist or a mental coach to help them win. Instead, these players preferred to retain the stubborn independence that drove them to succeed. They provided their own mental golf tips. They didn't need a sports psychologist or mental coach. For a long time, this approach dominated on the Tour.
Then Tiger Woods burst onto the scene. He won time and time again. In fact, he won so much that other players began to ask how. Eventually, they realized what made Tiger win. It was his attitude. He thought he was supposed to win every time he played. And therefore he won. This realization transformed things radically. Now more of golf's top pros work with mental coaches who provide a different kind of golf instruction session.
An Avalanche Of Change
Tiger's rise to the top brought an avalanche of change. As Davis Love III points out, Tiger taught professionals that the winning edge in the pro game was mental, not physical. Tiger gets to a better mental place more consistently than the rest of the players, who get to it only occasionally. That's why he wins. Tiger's approach also taught the pros that the mental realm is where the greatest improvement can be made more rapidly.
While Tiger's success was the driving force behind the change, the tipping point may have been Ernie Els' victory in the British Open in 2002. Helped by Jos Vanstiphout, Els cruised to victory at Muirfield, St. Andrews. That spurred changes. Today, more and more sports psychologists are advising golfers about golf's mental side. They're also writing books about it. One noteworthy book is Tim Gallwey's The Inner Game of Golf, fashioned after his breakthrough book, The Inner Game of Tennis.
In addition, more and more researchers are studying the game's mental side. Some are using the latest technological advances to do it. Dr. Deborah Graham, a sports psychologist, has clients practice with a special monitor. It measures factors like heart rate and tension. The readings determine the player's optimum performance rate. Meanwhile, Dr. Debbie Crews, a researcher at Arizona State, has found that the best predictor of successful performance is brain function milliseconds before and at impact.
Still A Ways To Go
Despite these advances, research in to the mental approach has a ways to go. So does the players' regard for it as a legitimate weapon on tour. At a recent World Scientific Congress of Golf, a poll revealed that while elite players believe that mental skills are 50 percent of the game, the majority say they spend less than 10 percent of their practice time on them.
The research on the game's mental side, however, has produced two key golf tips for the weekend golfer. First, before the mental skills can make a difference, a player must develop swing and course management skills. Knowing how and where to make shots is a must. Having learned this, golfers can then take their game to the next level by focusing on its mental aspects.
Second, the most successful golfers play not for glory or even to win, but for the challenge and satisfaction gained from the improvement process. It's what Gio Valiante, a sports psychologist from Rollins College in Winter Park, FL, calls the Mastery Approach.
According to this theory, elite golfers, like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, are more concerned with learning and improving than winning. This drive for mastery gets then fully involved in the shot at hand. They don't worry about who they're playing, how much money they'll win, or what people will say if they lose. It's how they attain superior focus, concentration, and achievement.
The formula for improving your game is clear. Work first on developing your swing skills and course management skills through golf lessons, practice sessions, golf tips, and/or playing a lot. Once proficient at them, work on the game's mental side. Combining both will not only boost your game to the next level, it will also help you whittle down your golf handicap.
