As an avid athlete and physician/psychiatrist myself, I found Dr. Lardon’s book not only academically precise and professionally sound, but on a personal note, quite inspirational. The wealth of clinical experience he brings to his work with athletes lends a legitimacy that other so-called ‘zone coaches’ cannot claim. ‘Finding Your Zone’ is written in an easy, yet inspiring manner that will aid both the amateur and professional athlete alike, as well as anyone who cares about bringing to life their true best self. I have read much of the sport literature, and this book stands above the rest for its accessibility, its beautiful and relevant real-world examples, and Dr. Lardon’s passion for his craft, which is evident from page one.

I like the fact that Dr. Lardon is an MD who has spent his entire professional career studying the connection between brain chemistry and peak performance. His research findings along with his anecdotes about famous athletes makes me realize that the Zone is real and attainable by all of us. I was fascinated by how he described Tiger’s practice of “instant amnesia” and have begun implementing this technique into my daily life as a businessperson, husband and father! This book is how to guide not just for athletes. I would recommend the book to everyone who want more out of life.
