I enjoyed reading Inner Athlete by Martin Robert Hall immensely. It's a very handy read. The author applies various principles he has learned from other scholars and psychologists in the field of positive psychology, to concrete, easy to understand situations that can be utilized by the reader. The last part synthesizes the key points into a workbook. I have a personal interest in positive psychology and enjoy reading self-help books and this is a good one to have in one's library. For purposes of full disclosure, I received a complimentary advanced reviewer's copy of the book.

Martin Hall is a sports psychologist, who uses this book to make the connections between sports, psychology and life. Even if your are not an athlete, this book can still help. Ever wonder why the best athletes have bad games but overcome them? It’s all about your mindset. Your can use this book in the classroom, the office, a competition, or in life, and at 193 pages, it’s a quick read. ( )
