Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The game of golf is 90 percent mental. When Yogi Berra became manager of the Yankees, a reporter asked if he had enough experience to handle the job. Sure, Berra said. I’ve been playing 18 years, and you can observe a lot just by watching.

#2 The mind is like a VCR. It records sights and sounds, and the tape plays continuously. The human body treats every vivid thought and image as if it is real and happening now. Everyone who has awakened from a nightmare knows this to be true.

#3 The brain can only focus on one thing at a time. To overcome this, you must focus on what you want to happen or some neutral thought. You must not suppress what you don’t want to happen, but instead focus on what you do want to happen.

#4 The law of dominant thought says that your mind will remember the most dominant thought. When you say to yourself not to do something, your mind will most likely do what you said not to do. When you say to yourself what you are going to do, your mind will most likely do what you said.
