Publisher's summary

Everyone has comfort levels. They are the levels of performance or spheres of activity that are familiar to us. We’re comfortable playing in the B-flight, we’re comfortable chasing the leader from behind, or we’re comfortable just making the cut. We’re comfortable playing our usual game. Sabotage is the undermining (through underhanded interference) of a project or mission. Self­-sabotage doesn’t make sense—why would we undermine our own work to reach an important goal (like breaking 80)? Yet the decisions we make and the way we perform make it look like that’s exactly what we’re doing. There’s a twist. What looks like self­-sabotage is actually self-protection. What are we protecting ourselves from? Stress, anxiety, discomfort. We’re protecting ourselves from leaving our comfort levels.
