Critical Point is a comprehensive, yet easy to read, "how to" for all those who wish to improve their ability to "perform" when the pressure is on. Did you know that public speaking ranks as "more stressful" than even death in almost every survey conducted on stress?

Most people think that the ability to perform under pressure is just "natural" for some people. They key is not personality type... Anyone can learn to be a strong performer in any situation. The answer lies within the body's physiological response to stress. Once you understand why the body reacts to stress the way it does you can learn to not only control it, but to use it to dominate when the pressure is on.

We've all been there... The sweaty palms, the racing heart, the nervousness that seems unbearable. These are all natural physiological responses of the body to a stressful situation. In this book I'll show you how and why these physiological responses are generated and how to control them. I'll teach you to use the simple techniques developed by psychologists for athletes at the professional level. We all envy those people that seem to be "naturally" good under pressure. The fact is, anyone can be smooth, cool, and confident under the most arduous of conditions once you understand what is actually going on.
