The Power of Pressure

Why Pressure Isn’t the Problem, It’s the Solution

De: Dane Jensen

Narrado por: Mike Lenz

Be energized, but not overwhelmed.

What’s the most pressure you’ve ever been under? How did you react? What helped? What didn’t? Over the past five years, Dane Jensen has asked these questions of thousands of high performers - from Olympic gold medalists to Navy SEALs, politicians, executives, and busy parents. What has emerged from these conversations is that while everyone’s experiences under pressure are unique, pressure follows patterns and develops in predictable ways. If we can recognize the patterns, we can improve our ability to sidestep the biological traps that can sabotage us - and use the energy that accompanies pressure to thrive.

The Power of Pressure combines the insights gathered from Jensen’s work with the latest research in biology and neuroscience to help you:

• Understand and use the “pressure equation” of importance, uncertainty, and volume
• Escape the traps of pressure with effective tools and tactics
• Be ambidextrous so that you can handle pressure both in peak pressure moments and over the long haul
• Reduce tension, sleep better, and have more energy so that you can meet challenges head-on
• Recognize pressure moments so that you can prepare for when you will likely the feel the heat
• Leverage strategies so that you can give everything you’ve got when it’s most important
• And more!

How we navigate our highest-pressure moments has a huge impact on the overall trajectory of our lives, both in terms of how successful we are and how much we enjoy the journey along the way.

Compelling content, told with a monotone delivery

If you can get past a very clean and professionally narrated delivery there is useful and compelling content within this book.

While not specific only to this title the use of professional narrators often results in a monotone or flat delivery void of any significant vocal inflections which the author would surely exhibit. Having heard this author speak on a podcast I know his voice range and imperfections in delivery would lead to a more authentic and compelling performance. Itis unfortunate that so many authors choose the route of using professional narrators which homogenized and make bland their content.

Excellent set of tools and easy to listen to!

One of my favorites for 2021! This was extremely helpful in helping me deal with the extreme pressure I am under right now.
