Critic reviews

What you can see, you can be, as the sports psychologist Don Macpherson has famously said.
Whether it is performing at the top of your game through visualisation or coping with adversity, Macpherson is providing a player with the tools to help himself as he outlines in his book How to Master Your Monkey Mind.
More and more of us are realising that we need some help to make sense of ourselves and our world. The problem is that the human condition is so massively complicated that the solution can seem ultimately unfathomable. You could read every book under the sun and be none the wiser. But do not despair! You may need to read just one! It is a massive relief to find someone like Don MacPherson who has a gift for guiding us gently back to the path. He does it brilliantly. He makes it all seem so simple and achievable in his own unique, reassuring and gently humorous way. This is an excellent book that will be of great benefit to those who feel lost and overwhelmed. Just take it one chapter at a time. And everything will be OK.
I guarantee this book can help everyone in some shape or form.
One area people don't invest enough time in these days is the mental side... Don gives you the tools to go away and use, to ensure you're training your brain... The tools he has given me have helped me massively as a player on the field.
I found Don's work truly beneficial and his knowledge of the pro sportsperson's mind impressive... Don has the ability to understand and navigate what can be a minefield of distractions and issues.
I am now calmer, cooler... In taming my monkey mind, Don has brought me to heights that I didn't think I would ever reach, not only in tennis but in life.
Don's practices of achieving mental clarity have stayed with me every time that I have stepped into a race car for the past five years, as well as on a daily basis in my normal life. I can truly say that I wouldn't be where I am today without his help.
My sessions on meditation, breathing, visualization, are still clearly in my mind and these are my assets even now. I believe these techniques are useful not only in extreme conditions but also on a daily basis... I hope this book will find many people who need help!
Quite simply, Don knows what works and what doesn't, so you can trust his advice, just as some of the world's most successful athletes have.

I love this recording. Very practical and simple without being simplistic. I have learnt a great deal from this audiobook and I am already using the Zen Breathing exercise each day - sometimes several times a day! Love the sound of Don's voice and i look forward to listening to the guided relaxation and visualisation exercise each day. Don has a very soothing voice. I often drop off before I reach the end of the exercise! Thoroughly recommend this!

Very Useful Resource

Excellent audiobook that I listened to everyday while travelling to and from work. Very accessible for someone just becoming aware of their own inner monkey. I found Don's work hugely beneficial - especially when dealing with negative internal chatter. Listening to Don really added to the personal resonance of the teachings and I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain more control over their mind.

Great listen!
