Today's corporate world is much like the world of professional sports -- fiercely competitive, mentally and physically demanding, and requiring constant, vigilant, training. More than ever, to maintain health, happiness, and career success, executives and employees must become Corporate Athletes.
Based on the latest scientific and medical studies, The Corporate Athlete tells corporate competitors how to achieve maximum performance levels. Drawing on the parallels between sports and business, Jack Groppel reveals the integral roles that nutrition, fitness, and self-improvement -- mental, physical and emotional-play in giving corporate athletes their winning edge. Learn to:
* Have as much energy for your family at 8 p.m. as you have at the office at 8 a.m.
* Respond to change, adversity and crisis more constructively
* Slow down the aging process
Whether or not you can hit a home run or run a marathon, this program will train you to perform at the highest possible levels in both your professional and family life.©2000 Jack Groppel, Ph.D., and Bob Andelman, All Rights Reserved; (P)2000 Simon & Schuster, Inc., All Rights Reserved, SOUND IDEAS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

My husband and I really enjoyed listening to this together. It was short and packed with ideas for improving performance. We look forward to implementing them right away in the new year.

The Worst Kind of Self Development Tripe

This book represents the worst kind of self development tripe. It’s full platitudes, anecdotes about conversations, and pseudoscience. In end, all this books recommends is to eat well, exercise and take care of your emotional health. We would all be better served by books on these topics.
