highly recommended

a non-tennis player

Despite the fact I don't play tennis (I don't really enjoy the sport), this book changed the way I apprached my sport (Sailing), and after reading it I improved from an also-ran regional contender to a 3-time collegiate national champion and won the 'heisman' for college sailing. I cannot overstate how great this book is!

ZEN thinking not only for Tennis

When I read the book the first time many years ago, I got hooked although I didn't now the principles behind the Zen thinking. Now I am starting to understand and love it. To me, it's all about the interplay between conciousness and sub-conciousness (self 1 and 2 in the book). Everyone interested in the field will gain from it, not only the tennis players.

Some lessons for a lifetime

This book is great not just because of how it helps you on the tennis court, which it certainly does, but rather for the lessons imparted that are applicable to all aspects of one's life. Definitely a great book for anyone who wants to understand themselves and their motivations better.

not only for tennis...

this book was recommended to me by an acting teacher a few years ago. when it is applied to acting it was one of the most helpful and relevant books i've read. any activity or sport could be substituted for tennis. excellent advice to help you get out of your own way. well worth the read!
