Ankersen, an ex-professional footballer and performance specialist, spent the last of his money on plane tickets, and for six intense months travelled the world, visiting 'Gold Mines' of talent; living and training with the planet's best athletes and their coaches in an attempt to answer this very question. Why have the world's best middle-distance runners grown up in the same Ethiopian village? Why are 137 of the world's 500 best female golfers from South Korea? How has one athletics club in Kingston, Jamaica, succeeded in producing most of the world's best sprinters? The conclusions Ankersen came to will have an enormous impact, far beyond the world of sport – in business, education and parenting. In this book, he presents these conclusions in eight concepts which will not only show you how to spot and unlock it in others – whether you are a manager, a coach, a teacher or a parent – but how to unlock it in yourself.
THE WINNER EFFECT: The Neuroscience of Success and Failure Ian H Robertson
Thomas Dunne Books • 978 1 2500 0167 2
What makes a winner? Why do some people succeed both in life and in business, and others fail? Why do a few individuals end up supremely powerful, while many remain powerless? The 'winner effect' is a term used in biology to describe how an animal that has won a few fights against weak opponents is much more likely to win later bouts against stronger contenders. As Ian Robertson reveals, it applies to humans, too. Success changes the chemistry of the brain, making you more focused, smarter, more confident, and more aggressive. The effect is as strong as any drug. And the more you win, the more you will go on to win. But the downside is that winning can become physically addictive. By understanding what the mental and physical changes are that take place in the brain of a 'winner,' how they happen, and why they affect some people more than others, Robertson answers the question of why some people attain and then handle success better than others. He explains what makes a winner – or a loser – and how we can use the answers to these questions to understand better the behaviour of our business colleagues, family, friends, and ourselves.
CHANGE ANYTHING: The New Science of Personal Success Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan & Al Switzler
Business Plus • 978 0 4465 7390 0
A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of this book will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviours by far more subtle influences. Change Anything shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results. The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to re-examine the way you go about your business and life.
