1/2 way through the book...
 
...really good stuff. Very common sense info with great anecdotes. Will finish the book tonight, hopefully. I can already see that I have some behavior modification in my future! BTW, How do you know when it's time to go to bed at Neverland Ranch?

Iffy Review
 
Boy..howdy...that is just plain wrong!

I hated the book! No wait...I hate me...according to the book! There was something lacking...a magic pill is what I think they call it! I'm not sure there is a "mechanical" way to improve one's self-image etc. I do however agree that you will not allow yourself to achieve higher than what you consider to be true concerning yourself. It is nice coming from a high achiever, as opposed to a person who's success comes from teaching other people how to succeed! I just do not see much of a foundation for real personal change in the book. Perhaps Yoda will do what Yoda does...enlighten.

It's there, okie, and I'll do my best to present the principles (and how they can be applied to golf) in the coming weeks. I probably will include it in a special LBG publication emailed to a clientele that has specifically granted permission for such communications.

I will continue to write for The Forums, but the longer-term view is to also provide premium content to a select subscriber base at an nominal annual fee. Such communications will succeed or fail on their own merit.

I thought the book was extremely helpful. Once you get to the point of what he's saying the light turns on, the viewpoint changes and the mental process becomes clear:idea:

I will watch this space!
 
I probably have to give it another go around. I feel that he explains the process accurately i.e. how and what, but the real question is the why...or the source of motivation. Medals and such are never an end in themselves.

Ready when you are!
 
I gave it another go around. Yoda, I am eager to hear your take after your trip to Dallas.

got an e-newsletter from Lanny's organisation and there are some christmas discounts available right now.

I'm In!
 
yeah, I signed up as well. I spoke out of my antipathy towards this genre of book i.e. self-help, most of which I find superficial and heartless. By heartless I mean never drilling down to the source of motivation. How and what are mere details compared to why! Why is the sustaining force. Upon my second reading (perhaps with a more open mind) I have a better appreciation for the ideas. I am looking forward to Yoda's take.

Dive! Dive! Dive!
 
Anything new on this particular topic! My submarine is ready to dive! :laughing1

on this particular subject I would recommend people to go look at what Dr Carey Mumford talks about on his website at Key Golf

His clear key technique is the best I've come across for letting your body do what it has been trained to do.
