The One Truth is that our state of mind, the thoughts we think, the words we say, the life we live, the power we have, and everything we experience is ultimately influenced by oneness and separateness. As you learn about the unseen forces that lower your state of mind, separate and weaken you, and the hidden power that elevates your mind, unites and strengthens you, you'll see life through a new lens, think with more clarity, confidence, and act at higher level.

But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as learning about life.

In his years as a professional ice-skater, Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton learned to embrace the mind-set of working hard to "beat" the competition. But it seems competition has gotten a bad rap these days. We've bought in to the belief that it is unfair to participants to rank performance. Yet competition is in fact a good thing because it's about working toward excellence. Finish First is a wake-up call for business leaders, entrepreneurs, spouses, parents, and even students to stop settling for mediocre and strive to go for the win.

He’s determined to break par within a year at the local golf course while working in a demanding full-time job and trying his best to remain a good husband and father.

Publisher's summary
In this inspirational fable, Jack McKee is a professional golfer who has just suffered through the most humiliating meltdown of his career. After years of struggle, he is ready to quit on his dream. He has convinced himself he doesn't have what it takes to make it on the PGA Tour. In an attempt to figure out why his career has ended up the way it has, Jack reaches out to one of the game's greatest former players for advice. This legendary golfer teaches Jack that the problem is not in his swing, but in his mind. As Jack learns to combat his thoughts of self-doubt and worry, his golf game improves right along with his mindset, culminating in the most important tournament of his career.
As this story plays out, you will learn: how to take control of your thoughts and make sure they are working for you instead of against you; the importance of talking to yourself instead of listening to yourself; how to develop a mental routine that will keep you in a positive state of mind; the technique used by many of the world's most successful people to make gratitude a part of their daily lives; the fastest way to fight off worry and negative thoughts; how to protect your mind from negative, anxiety-producing, and failure-oriented messages; the importance of your self-image; the key to performing at your best under pressure; how to find peace and confidence; and more.

But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

In 1984, Gunn was an eleven-year-old boxer in Ontario when his father woke him in the middle of the night to fight grown men in motel parking lots for money, his old man pocketing the cash.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do.

The pursuit of excellence is a double edged sword that leaves many hockey players or any high-performer worrying about mistakes, overthinking, and lacking confidence. Fluffy and cookie-cutter advice like “be positive,” “don’t worry about it,” and “just be confident” only makes things worse. These might be the mental states you are trying to achieve, but they are not the ‘how to’.

Great book - highly recommended!
The lessons in this book are fantastic and presented in a very entertaining and engaging story. It's a relatively short book but it is packed with valuable insights into the importance of self-image, confidence, and being vigilant in guarding your subconscious from damaging negative messages and focusing on the things you can control in your life.
It's not a golf book, it's a personal development book centered around a fictional golf story. The lessons are applicable to all areas of life (including golf), however you need not be knowledgeable or even interested in golf to extract value from the book.
This would be a great gift for a teenager or young adult as it is written in a straightforward and simple way and isn't just another long, dry "life textbook". It is well worth the quick listen and small price-tag.
