Well, that’s because we’ve only just begun! The truth is if we want to feel like “ 100% that bitch,”we gotta put a little work in.

And though The Outer Game (the players, rules and objectives) might change, The Inner Game (the struggle against things like anxiety, loss of focus and self-doubt) is common to just about every new challenge we face. How can a book about tennis be so useful? Because as Gallwey notes early, everything in life is a game. And they’ve applied what they learned to everything from surfing to relationships to business.
