The Inner Game of Tennis

De: W Timothy Gallwey

Narrado por: Dan Woren

The timeless million-copy phenomenon.

'Groundbreaking . . . I still give it to friends today' – Bill Gates
'One of the most powerful mindset books ever written' – Daniel Pink

With unparalleled insights into the mental landscape of performance, The Inner Game of Tennis provides you with the definitive framework for long-term success. With a new foreword from Bill Gates.

Instead of concentrating on how to improve your technique, Timothy Gallwey starts from the understanding that 'every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game'. The former is played against opponents on the court, but the latter is a battle within ourselves as we try and overcome self-doubt and anxiety. It is often won or lost before a ball has been hit.

In his revolutionary approach, built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, Gallwey will teach you how to:

• Trust the intuitive wisdom of your body
• Quiet your mind of worry, fear and distraction
• Achieve a state of ‘relaxed concentration’, in which success comes naturally

Described by Billie Jean King as her 'tennis bible', Timothy Gallwey's international bestseller has been essential reading for players of all abilities since it was first published in 1974. With lessons on gamesmanship and breaking bad habits, it is no surprise that Gallwey’s method has had a far-reaching impact both on and off the tennis court.

Whether you want to win at tennis, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. This is your key to peak performance.
