520 _aAs a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization, Jim Murphy’s sense of worth revolved around results. He was focused on achievement but also afraid of failure. When he started coaching professional and Olympic athletes, he often encountered the same mindset. He became obsessed with learning how the best in the world performed with poise under pressure. After years of research, Murphy had a revelatory insight: that the pursuit of extraordinary performance and the pursuit of the best possible life were the same path. Filled with exercises, techniques, and tools that will improve every area of your life, Inner Excellence trains your heart and mind for extraordinary performance and the best possible life.
