Keeping Tom Nice by Lucy Gannon

Imagine how different your life would be if you knew how to develop resilience, self-discipline, and willpower on demand.

Mental Toughness is often thought of as some superhuman ability, reserved only for the military personnel and top-level athletes. Although this is a myth. True mental strength is an everyday trait for the everyday individual, you just need to know how to cultivate it properly. This comes from learning the right psychological techniques. But more importantly, from letting go & surrendering to situations you can't control. A counterintuitive approach employed only by the very strongest.

Katherine Chambers is an Ex Stanford Psychologist who specializes in all forms of neuroscientific and psychotherapy subjects. However, it wasn't until she left college life and entered the 'real world' did she begin to understand these theoretical topics in a practical sense. Over the past 15 years, she has built a multi-six figure consulting business and a family of her own.

In this insightful and functional book, Chambers gives readers a firsthand look into the overriding concepts of Mental Toughness, as well as a practical real-life guide on how to:

  • Truly understand what Mental Toughness entails
  • Identify the traditional myths about the mentally strong
  • The importance of developing the 3 R's (Resourceful, Resilient, Relentless)
  • Appreciate the critical nature of better habits
  • Achieving freedom from fear, worry & stress
  • Learning the art of proper goal setting to keep on track
  • Visualization & mental imagery techniques to gain mental fortitude
  • Using talking tools and conversational skills to compliment your new mindset

. and much more.
