Wake Your Mind Up
The Mind Gym: Wake Your Mind Up
Mind Gym is less of a book, more of a personalised programme. It started life as a series of mini-workshops that each focused on a different area of applied psychology. In the beginning they were held in health and fitness centres but are now in organisations for staff. The underlying philosophy is that great mental science should not be hidden in complex academic papers but should be available for everyone. Mind Gym’s approach assumes that we can choose how we think, we can all improve and that intelligence is multi-faceted.
The book consists of a series of mental workouts grouped under similar themes: taking control; the right impression; tough conversations; stress and relaxation; and creative juices. These are further divided into four sub-sections, each brimming with explanations, examples, tests, tips and applications. For instance, the sections on ‘the right impression’ deals with impact, influence, connection and presence. Other succulent topics include: optimism, body language, procrastination and stress.
What is great about this book is its interactive nature. You can choose a section of the book depending on what result you want. In addition, there is online material, for those who want to take things further. By these means, you can design your own mental programme! Each book comes with a free personal membership number for The Mind Gym Online.
