Review: Not only for Tennis...To improve Inner game of Life - This is an outstanding book first published in early 70s. This book is rated very high in sports circle and I came across this author and book in one magazine article. The book is written for Tennis and how to improve the game and technique using mind games like how to use visualization, how and why visualization helps improve the game, right attitude towards the game, how to focus attention at will, how focus improves the performance, etc. In one interview in magazine he has claimed that he can improve the aspect of game for any one in flat 20 minutes. When you read this book you will understand how he accomplishes that magic. Although the game used as an performance improvement example is Tennis this method and process can be applied in any game that involves mastery of some technique. The author has written a similar books on Golf and business also. When you read this book you will understand that the mind management techniques that he proposes to elevate your game can be applied in other sports and in other aspects of life. From the book it s obvious he is influenced by eastern mind management techniques. The similar techniques are used in martial arts also to do seemingly impossible deeds. His key message is focus improves the performance and if you visualize the desired result and trust your subconscious then it will often take you towards your goal faster than otherwise. He wants to avoid distracting self criticism that hinders our improvement. I think corporate HR folks should read this book to understand kind of damage caused by current feedback system. In the magazine articles that i read there were testimonials of basket ball and base ball players from the recent past and how they improved dramatically. It shows enduring appeal and usefulness of this book and methods even after 40+ years. I have used his method of instant focusing to improve my (recreational) running technique and form to good extent. Highly recommended to all aspiring sports people. Also recommended for stock traders and investors who want to improve their performance under stressful conditions. In fact any endeavor where you have to perform under great deal of stress e.g. sales presentation are fair candidates for his methods.
Review: Top notch book - I have just witnessed the best book of my life, read it and found the new inner peace, not only for tennis, but for the way of living.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top notch book
*by S***T on 2 March 2026*

I have just witnessed the best book of my life, read it and found the new inner peace, not only for tennis, but for the way of living.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Content 5/5 but packaging 2/5
*by S***A on 22 March 2026*

You can apply the lessons learned to almost every activity in your life. But no protective covering on the book to protect from water during transit.
