Nobody performs better under pressure. Regardless of the task, pressure ruthlessly diminishes our judgment, decision making, attention, dexterity, and performance in every professional and personal arena. In Performing Under Pressure, Drs. Hendrie Weisinger and J.P. Pawliw-Fry introduce us to the concept of pressure management, offering empirically tested short-term and long-term solutions to help us overcome the debilitating effects of pressure.
Performing Under Pressure tackles the greatest obstacle to personal success, whether in a sales presentation, at home, on the golf course, interviewing for a job, or performing onstage at Carnegie Hall. Despite sports mythology, no one rises to the occasion under pressure and does better than they do in practice. The reality is pressure makes us do worse and sometimes leads us to fail utterly. But there are things we can do to diminish its effects on our performance.
Performing Under Pressure draws on research from more than 12,000 people, and features the latest research from neuroscience and from the frontline experiences of Fortune 500 employees and managers, Navy SEALS, Olympic and other elite athletes, and others. It offers 22 specific strategies each of us can use to reduce pressure in our personal and professional lives and allow us to excel better in whatever we do.
Whether you're a corporate manager, a basketball player, or a student preparing for the SAT, Performing Under Pressure will help you do your best when it matters most.

A mild-to-moderate critique is that there is almost too much content and the book is organized in an awkward way. The first part of the book is an absolute slog to get through. It is ironically, anxiety and pressure inducing. Part II is solid and very helpful. Part III is excellent and the real value to the book.
I feel that if part I had been truncated, part III moved to the central component and part II to the end of the book, this would be a five star review.
The appendix touching the authors’ research results is OK. Anyone with a background in statistics will question the strength of their statements based on the values of Pearson’s correlation coefficient provided.
A solid addition to this topic

Highly recommended for anyone dealing with pressure in any arena. I read it from a golfing perspective, but it is equally applicable for business, or just life in general.
