This book is a practical guide to handling the stresses of Examinations and Performances. It is designed for students, performers in any discipline, parents, and anyone looking for a down to earth, straightforward approaching to dealing with the crucial aspects of performing under pressure or being in the spotlight.
From first guiding the reader to learn how to breathe properly, through helping them gain an understanding of the nature of thought and the relevance of how to pay full attention in the present moment, Peter writes about the differences between learning, conditioning and performance. He goes on to list many resources and practical tips that are an innate part of our selves, and includes a number of 'case studies' that illuminate in a practical way many of the areas explored in the book.
