About this listen
Performed by Trevor Moawad with a foreword written and read by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson
From a top mental conditioning coach - "the world’s best brain trainer" (Sports Illustrated) - who has transformed the lives and careers of elite athletes, business leaders, and military personnel, battle-tested strategies that will give you tools to manage and overcome negativity and achieve any goal.
He knows how to win. More, he knows the many ways - subtle, brutal, often self-inflicted - we lose.
As the most trusted mental coach in the world of sports, Trevor Moawad has worked with many of the most dominant athletes and the savviest coaches. From Nick Saban and Kirby Smart to Russell Wilson, they all look to Moawad for help finding or keeping or regaining their competitive edge. (As do countless business leaders and members of special forces.)
Now, at last, Moawad shares his unique philosophy with the general public. He lays out lessons he's derived from his greatest career successes as well as personal setbacks, the game-changing wisdom he's earned as the go-to whisperer for elite performers on fields of play and among men and women headed to the battlefield.
Moawad's motivational approach is elegant but refreshingly simple: He replaces hardwired negativity, the kind of defeatist mindset that's nearly everybody's default, with what he calls "neutral thinking". His own special innovation, it's a nonjudgmental, nonreactive way of coolly assessing problems and analyzing crises, a mode of attack that offers luminous clarity and supreme calm in the critical moments before taking decisive action.
Not only can neutral thinking raise your performance level - it can transform your overall life. And it all starts, Moawad says, with letting go. Past failures, past losses - let them go.
"The past isn't predictive. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything changes. You'll instantly feel more calm. And the athlete - or employee or parent or spouse-who's more calm is also more aware, and more times than not...will win."

Definitely an inspirational & rewarding read
Great read & recommend the best way to absorb the book is with an open mind to the ideas suggestions. In hearing each chapter, I found moments similar in my life which required ‘neutral thinking’ reflection & since reading it, the benefit to this approach very rewarding at work & personal life. Thank you Trevor for your openness in sharing your life experiences.

You don't have to be into sport to appreciate this
I play a lot of sports and have done growing up so can relate to a lot of what's being said but nowhere near the standard Trevor has coached. I definitely watch a lot less sport which you don't need to in order to appreciate this book or sporting accomplishments mentioned.
I'm a huge advocate of sports and the impact it has on your life. I worked a successful career and I did well academically. I put most of it down to sports.
This book articulates this really well and I'll be buying the paper back to read a few times again of the lessons you can so easily forget over time.
Highly recommended read. Just don't make the mistake of thinking this is a sports book as Trevor mentions. I wish more corporate leaders understood the benefits of sport and health on performance.

Love the message
Neutral thinking suits me. It's easier to think neutral than to be positive but it's just as effective. By not moaning or saying negative things out loud it gives me control of what I say and I feel empowered from it. I found that constantly trying to think positive is tiring and I can't keep it up, but by focusing on not thinking negative, it allows me to live in the moment and not worry.
Thank you!!!
