In a spectacular follow-up to his best seller, The Habit Factor®, Martin Grunburg illustrates exactly how our environment and, in particular, pressure is an essential ingredient for anyone looking to accelerate their achievements. The majority of people, including some of today's leading experts in psychology and performance, contend that pressure "is the enemy of success". In The Pressure Paradox, Grunburg elucidates precisely the opposite: that when properly harnessed, channeled, and "refracted" positively, pressure proves to be one of your greatest allies in your journey toward creating your ideal future. Tragically, those who struggle the most (mentally, physically, emotionally) often misunderstand the important role pressure plays in their life; it's a supernatural force that is impossible to avoid. Therefore, understanding pressure for its true nature and knowing how to use this force (which is technically neutral) in a positive fashion is arguably one of life's great secrets for goal achievement, peak performance and, of all things, happiness and peace of mind. The Pressure Paradox™ provides not only keen insight into this timeless force, but practical strategies and tactics that will allow anyone to use pressure positively for their benefit: to produce more, perform better, and enjoy greater harmony, happiness, and peace of mind.
