Professional Work of the Highest Order June 23, 2008

As an avid athlete and physician/psychiatrist myself, I found Dr. Lardon's book not only academically precise and professionally sound, but on a personal note, quite inspirational. The wealth of clinical experience he brings to his work with athletes lends a legitimacy that other so-called 'zone coaches' cannot claim. 'Finding Your Zone' is written in an easy, yet inspiring manner that will aid both the amateur and professional athlete alike, as well as anyone who cares about bringing to life their true best self. I have read much of the sport literature, and this book stands above the rest for its accessibility, its beautiful and relevant real-world examples, and Dr. Lardon's passion for his craft, which is evident from page one.
How To Guide for Everyone, Not Just Athletes June 10, 2008
JS (San Francisco)
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
I like the fact that Dr. Lardon is an MD who has spent his entire professional career studying the connection between brain chemistry and peak performance. His research findings along with his anecdotes about famous athletes makes me realize that the Zone is real and attainable by all of us. I was fascinated by how he described Tiger's practice of "instant amnesia" and have begun implementing this technique into my daily life as a businessperson, husband and father! This book is how to guide not just for athletes. I would recommend the book to everyone who want more out of life.
The Perfect Graduation Gift June 11, 2008
The "book a week" Bear (USA)
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book is the ideal graduation gift--imparting tools one can use the rest of their life. Most of us know the "zone" is out there, but don't really know what it is--Dr. Lardon helps us to understand and tap into that power in an easily understandable and entertaining way. I've read a lot of "self-help/motivational/discover the secret" books, and Finding Your Zone blows most of them away--it is a fun read and, most importantly, explains how one can look at things in a new and enlightened way. Highly recommended.

An elite athlete himself, Dr.Lardon's interest in achieving peak performance was formulated as a teenager on the world table tennis circuit. Fast forward several years and we find Dr. Lardon has finished medical school and undertaken a residency in psychiatry. His special interest...studying elite athletes and what separates the great ones from the rest of the field. From his 20 years of working closely with top athletes, Dr. Lardon has put together a book of relevant and fascinating observations. I particularly like the concept of "instant amnesia".
A must read for all athletes! June 11, 2008

14 out of 16 found this review helpful
By far the most practical and understandable explanation of a phenomenon that has always been described as magical and unexplainable. Dr. Lardon does a great job of explaining "The Zone" and gives all of us a handbook for achieving our own peak performance. This book is a must read for all athletes looking to take their game to the next level
