The timeless million-copy phenomenon.

'Groundbreaking . . . I still give it to friends today' – Bill Gates
'One of the most powerful mindset books ever written' – Daniel Pink

With unparalleled insights into the mental landscape of performance, The Inner Game of Tennis provides you with the definitive framework for long-term success. With a new foreword from Bill Gates.

Instead of concentrating on how to improve your technique, Timothy Gallwey starts from the understanding that 'every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game'. The former is played against opponents on the court, but the latter is a battle within ourselves as we try and overcome self-doubt and anxiety. It is often won or lost before a ball has been hit.

In his revolutionary approach, built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, Gallwey will teach you how to:

Trust the intuitive wisdom of your body
Quiet your mind of worry, fear and distraction
Achieve a state of ‘relaxed concentration’, in which success comes naturally

Described by Billie Jean King as her 'tennis bible', Timothy Gallwey's international bestseller has been essential reading for players of all abilities since it was first published in 1974. With lessons on gamesmanship and breaking bad habits, it is no surprise that Gallwey’s method has had a far-reaching impact both on and off the tennis court.

Whether you want to win at tennis, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. This is your key to peak performance.

저자 정보

Ever since Timothy Gallwey missed a heartbreakingly easy volley on match point in the National Junior Tennis Championship at the age of fifteen, he has been fascinated with the problem of how human beings interfere with their own ability to achieve and learn. His search for practical ways to overcome the mental obstacles that prevent maximum performance led to the basic discoveries first described in The Inner Game of Tennis, his bestselling classic. Since the completion of The Inner Game of Golf he spends most of his time in the Los Angeles office of the Inner Games Corporation, developing an Inner Game approach to such diverse fields as selling, management, stress, diet, music and the quality of work. He is the author of The Inner Game of Golf, The Inner Game of Tennis, and the co-author of The Inner Game of Music.
