What's the most pressure you've ever been under? How did you react? What helped? What didn't?

For more than five years, Dane Jensen has asked these questions of thousands of high performers--from Olympic gold medalists to navy SEALS, politicians, executives and busy parents. What has emerged from these conversations is that while everyone's experiences under pressure are unique, pressure follows patterns and develops in predictable ways. If we can recognize the patterns, we can improve our ability to sidestep the biological traps that can sabotage us--and use the energy that accompanies pressure to thrive.

In The Power of Pressure, Jensen combines the insights gathered from his work with the latest research in biology and neuroscience to help you nail the moments that matter and maintain energy and motivation through the pressures of day-to-day life.
