Reviews

". . . a must read for golfers." - WorldGolf

"A wonderful exploration of what happens inside when you choke on the outside. Essential for anyone who has, or plans, to compete, and especially for those who have choked."
--Andrew Newberg, M.D., co-author of How God Changes Your Brain and Born to Believe

"Choke is an important, fascinating book. Everyone who is looking for optimal performance would benefit from reading it and implementing its principles." --Daniel G. Amen, MD, Author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Body

"Do you want to hit better shots on the golf course? Score higher on the SAT? Get less nervous before speaking in public? In this marvelous book, Sian Beilock will tell you how, as she reveals the mental secrets to performing under pressure."
--Jonah Lehrer, author of How We Decide and Proust Was a Neuroscientist

"If you aspire to be cool under maximum pressure (and who doesn't?), Beilock offers smart tips such as practicing under pressure and 'pausing the choke' by walking away from the problem for a few minutes in order to think clearly."
--Time Magazine

"Readable explanations for why we choke and valuable suggestions for what we can do to get through a make-or-break moment with a better chance of success."
