Gallwey explores what internal dialogue does to performance, taking the principles beyond the sports environment. By distinguishing “Self 1” (critical, thinking mind) from “Self 2” (natural, intuitive capabilities), readers learn how to still think negatively and trust their instincts. The book illustrates focus, awareness, and resilience by practice and by using them. It’s a reference for stress management, boosting confidence, and drawing upon mental toughness under pressure.
