- Book Synopsis
- Performance Psychology for Everyday Life: The Science of Everyday Living and What It Can Do for You is an innovative workbook that provides students with insights from the field of performance psychology that they can use to effectively manage their stress and improve the quality of their everyday performance in both the classroom and their personal lives. In Sections I and II, this workbook presents a description of performance psychology, a review of the history of performance psychology from antiquity to its current applications, and descriptions of proven methods for improving individual and group performance. Students learn how stress impacts the brain and body to cause resistance to change and reduce day-to-day performance quality. They are then given strategies for combating stress and creating the zone of high performance more often. Section III encourages students to use the audio recording function on their phones to make use of four scientifically proven performance enhancement methods: long and short-term goal setting, visualization, creating calm, and positive affirmations. The workbook concludes with a collection of appendices that address the unique performance challenges faced by students, musicians, athletes, and businesspersons. Performance Psychology for Everyday Life is an ideal supplementary textbook for introductory psychology classes, as well as student success and freshman orientation programs. It provides insights that students can use immediately to improve the performances in their lives and more effectively reach both their academic and larger life goals.
