Content a bit lacking for competitive players

Original book was excellent and a great resource. This book felt a bit forced or at a minimum is geared towards high single digit players looking to play more competitively. Some of the mental frameworks mentioned are off-base for elite amateur / professional players. Certainly respect his love and appreciation for the game.

Superb Advice for You and Your Game

This book, along with another book written by the author, titled The Four Foundations of Golf, have helped my game immensely. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting self improvement lessons to be included in this text, but there they are. Applying any of the principles of this book will help your golf game. They will also flow over naturally into day-to-day life. I am now happier, more grateful, and more satisfied on and off the course. Thank you, John Sherman.

Excellent advice delivered very well.

Enjoyed learning in the story form without feeling like i’m being preached at. A lot of this will stick and i will likely re-read this often.

Awesome!

Great coaching for both on and off the course! Please read and it will help you in more ways than one!

Perspective

If you’re looking for a high level perspective on how to approach the game of golf and improve your overall experience and enjoyment of the game, then this book is a great resource. The author does not delve into the detailed mechanics of the golf swing, but rather serves as a mentor with good advice on how to take the ups and downs of the golf-learning experience. There is high-level advice on the most important aspects and how you should allocate your time. The chapters are well organized and presented in a crisp and concise manner. The author’s narration is clear and engaging.

Not as impactful as the first book

Had to leave a review, I was excited for this one. Just didn’t live up to the hype I created around it. The first book is great! And I still listen to it, think it’s just hard to come back after that one. This one feels like it’s missing something
