Discover the transformative New York Times bestseller--a step-by-step manual for mastering your inner mind for peak performance and living your life to the fullest.

As a professional baseball player, Jim Murphy's sense of worth revolved around results. He was focused on achievement but also afraid of failure. When he started coaching professional and Olympic athletes, he often encountered the same mindset. He became obsessed with learning how the best in the world performed with poise under pressure.

After years of research, Murphy had a revelatory insight: the pursuit of extraordinary performance and the pursuit of an exceptional life are the same path.

Filled with exercises, techniques, and tools, Inner Excellence trains your heart and mind, showing you how to:

- Develop self-mastery--and let go of what you can't control.

- Overcome anxiety--and build powerful mental habits.

- Remove mental blocks--and get out of your own way.

- Train your subconscious mind--and release limiting beliefs.

Merging two decades of research and interviews with top athletes and leaders with this training system, Inner Excellence will put you on a path towards a more satisfactory and joyful life.
