The Inner Game of Work: Focus, Learning, Pleasure, and Mobility in the Workplace

W. Timothy Gallwey

A groundbreaking guide to overcoming the inner obstacles that sabotage your efforts to be your best on the job--part of the bestselling Inner Game series, with more than one million copies sold!

"If you feel like you've sunk to a new mental low on the job, this book has the potential to pump you up and help you to regain your ambition."--Rocky Mountain News

No matter how long you've been doing it or how little you think there is to learn about it, your job can become an opportunity to sharpen skills, increase pleasure, and heighten awareness. And if your work environment has been turned on its ear by technology, reorganization, and rapidly accelerating change, The Inner Game of Work offers a way to steer a confident course while navigating your way toward personal and professional goals.

- Change a rote performance into a rewarding one
- Work in the mobility mode rather than the conformity mode
- Overcome fear of failure, change-resistance, boredom, and stagnation
- Find a coach or become a coach (and see why that makes a difference)

The Inner Game of Work challenges you to reexamine your fundamental motivations for starting work in the morning and your definitions of work throughout the day, changing the way you look at work forever.

Praise for this book

"Tim Gallwey is one of the great teachers of our time. His aspiration is the realization of genuine potential, not miracles, but the gap between that potential and our current performance is often so great that the results are nothing short of miraculous. In this day, when many talk of accelerating learning in organizations but few have actually done it, the words of a master are timely indeed."

--Peter M. Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization
