Publisher's Summary:
In a spectacular follow-up to his best seller, The Habit Factor, Martin Grunburg illustrates exactly how our environment and, in particular, pressure is an essential ingredient for anyone looking to accelerate their achievements. The majority of people, including some of today's leading experts in psychology and performance, contend that pressure "is the enemy of success". In The Pressure Paradox, Grunburg elucidates precisely the opposite: that when properly harnessed, channeled, and "refracted" positively, pressure proves to be one of your greatest allies in your journey toward creating your ideal future. Tragically, those who struggle the most (mentally, physically, emotionally) often misunderstand the important role pressure plays in their life; it's a supernatural force that is impossible to avoid. Therefore, understanding pressure for its true nature and knowing how to use this force (which is technically neutral) in a positive fashion is arguably one of life's great secrets for goal achievement, peak performance and, of all things, happiness and peace of mind. The Pressure Paradox™ provides not only keen insight into this timeless force, but practical strategies and tactics that will allow anyone to use pressure positively for their benefit: to produce more, perform better, and enjoy greater harmony, happiness, and peace of mind.

Fun and fascinating exploration of pressure as a force for good
I read a lot of self help books. After a while, you resign yourself to the fact that there just aren't a lot of original ideas out there. Self help authors tend to reference each other's content more than they discover and develop new ideas. Martin is the rare author that sets trends instead of following them. He takes concepts that are misunderstood and flips them on their head. Years ago, he destigmatized habits and showed us how to harness our ability to perform complex behaviors repeatedly without conscious attention as a way to design the lives we want one habit at a time. It's a powerful concept that has made a dramatic impact in my life. Every day begins and ends with a review of the habits I'm actively installing. Waking up early, going to the gym daily, saving more money, eating more healthfully--all things that used to be hard that have now become automatic.
Now Martin is back to shed some light on the concept of pressure. As he explains, pressure is neither good nor bad. It's a neutral force that can either cause you stress and failure or that can be harnessed for greater happiness, productivity, creativity, and purpose. One of the key components of ultra high achievers is their healthy relationship to pressure. They learn how to use it, when to use it, how to apply it to themselves and the people around them. While the underlying principle is easy to understand, it's the plethora of useful examples and techniques that make this book immediately actionable. Quick, fun read. You'll be nodding your head from beginning to end, and find yourself inspired and excited to bring pressure into your life more consciously and constructively.
