First of all, it has to be said that this book is exactly what it says it is, which is a book of transcripts the author gave to a radio station in Canada. So, if you're looking for a traditional book, this isn't it. However, the author does know his stuff, and if you're willing to wade through some of the DJ's blather you'll find some keen insights here. The author touches on topics such as the root of self-destructive behavior, negative thinking, how to overcome adversity and dealing with trash / negative talk. All of this is done from the perspective of athletics, although a lot of it has relevance to the wider world. Again, as these are transcripts of free wheeling interviews you shouldn't expect a great deal of depth. Still, for the price, the book gives a good overview of sport psychology and is a quick read. Worth checking out.
