What's the difference between succeeding and failing in life's big moments? In Psyched Up, acclaimed journalist Daniel McGinn explains why mental preparation is the key to mastering any challenge.

Drawing on interviews with high-performing professionals such as retired General Stanley McChrystal, NASCAR champion driver Jimmie Johnson and legendary tennis coach Nick Bollettieri, McGinn illustrates how to develop a personal psyching up routine and reveals why introverts and extroverts might employ different methods.
