Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,379
If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts. Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

More chat than book
Professional narration would have been a big plus. Feels more like chatty lecture than audiobook.

Best Goal Setting Book!
Any additional comments?
I am not an athlete, but now I know how to think and perform like a champion! This was the best goal setting book I have ever read. Dr. Stankovick gave excellent tools, tips, and techniques that really help me own my game. From this book, I learn to how to be mentally stronger, set actionable goals, get and stay in the zone, and perform at my highest level in my career.

Filled with valuable substantive content...
This is really a high quality audio book with tons of valuable material. This is relevant to any sport. I'm currently carefully working through this audio book for my sport which is competitive racquetball. Covers practical advice for "staying in the zone", "maintaining focus", and appreciating the many dimensions associated with getting your "mental game" correct. I have a PhD in Experimental Psychology and
my research area is Cognitive Science and Mathematical Models of Behavior as well as an athlete
and I feel these lectures have real valuable practical content which is anchored in good science.

One of the Best Mental Management Books
Would you consider the audio edition of Own the Game to be better than the print version?
I am a Professional Archer and have listened to many Mental Management Books.. In my first Competition as a Pro, I CHOKED.. I feel with this book that I can overcome myself and the type of thinking that caused me to fail
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

OMG. Audible - can I get my money back
1) I am (amenities aside) a very good skier
2) and very interested in the burgeoning breakthroughs in mental training -
especially as it relates to movement skills (read the body has a mind of
its own.
3) So took a chance with "Own the Game" ... what a misplaced bet.
The book is an unembarrassed pitch by the author for his line of something.
And it's focus is the Dare to Be Great bs .. e.g., zoning is feeling good
about yourself and down from there. It's presentation is anecdotal and pandering in the worst of the southern California obsession with personal feelings of value. Again, Audible - can I get my money back
