Mindful Athlete Audio Companion, The MP3 CD – MP3 Audio, March 15, 2016

Then buy it now, it greatly exceeded my expectations and has raised my quality of life exponentially. Thank you George!

Buy it it’s full of good stuff.Tks

I truly enjoyed the book and found it very helpful. I have already read many of the authors he cites throughout the work, but his application of theory to athletic and personal performance was extremely helping me understand what those other authors could not. I was a bit shocked that in Chapter 6 he names the "first two steps of the Twelve Step program..." and then completely ignores step 1 and cites steps 2 and 3. Not a big deal for non-addicts, but makes those of us in recovery question how he could possibly miss the very first, and most important, step. I would recommend this book highly, especially to folks with athletic backgrounds.

George Mumford takes a concept that can be off putting to some and makes it something everyone and anyone can relate to. I read this because I am very interested in mindfulness a true believer in its power but sometimes find it hard to explain it to those who are not yet convinced. I heard an interview with Mumford on NPR and decided to order the book. It is short, easy to read and makes mindfulness accessible to anyone and everyone. I have recommended this book to several people already and will be giving it to my 13 year old son who is an avid basketball player. Even if you are not a basketball player or athlete of any kind you will find this book enlightening. In addition to great explanations of how to use mindfulness and incorporate it into your daily habits, Mumford's advice on life and handling problems will be useful to all.

The Mindful Athlete isn't just a book that focuses on athletic performance. It gives a clear understanding of the flow state, where living in the moment at the apex of your skills is truly possible. This is an excellent guide for improving the quality of life and reaching the goals that are personally meaningful.

I am new to mindfulness and I have been investigating it for just over a year now. As an older athlete I have been in the zone before but, I was not particularly aware of what brought me to it. Recollecting when I ran track and cross-country I experienced the zone a great deal. Mr. Mumford's book decribes this feeling clearly. This book is very readable and one discerns that a master teacher has written it. From my perspective I have read works by Dr. Zin and T. N. Han. This work resonates with me. I am sure that it will contribute to my practice. I recommend it Highly!

This is a great book for all athletes. I bought it to read with my 10 year old son and the humor and tone of the book resonates with him. If you aren’t familiar with mindfulness he breaks it down very step by step. He studied with Jon Kabat Zinn (who basically brought mindfulness to the west) so this guys knows what he’s talking about. There are some stories of drug use and addiction but I personally feel comfortable talking to my child about that. He also uses some language, mostly for emphasis and humor. The book has been a great family read. Yes, it’s about mindfulness in sports but it’s really about being mindful in every aspect of our lives. Everyone benefited from it. Highly recommend!

Well written and entertaining, especially if you are familiar with the NBA Stars from Bill Russell to Kobe Bryant and, of course, Michael Jordan. Mumford makes a convincing case but never provides any practical knowledge on how to be in the "flow". Thus, the reader is anxious for a follow-up book where the secrets truly are revealed!

Very good for the athlete that is looking to expand beyond just their physical skills. Don’t have much bad to say about the book. Was a great introduction for me and my athletics career, exposing me to a whole different approach. George explains that many of us already have the answers within, rather than looking for external results. There is a lot of untapped potential in many athletes and mindfulness can definitely help them get closer to that potential. As a current professional athlete and former division one athlete, I highly recommend.

This is a book to be studied and encourages you to read many other books noted throughout to gain better understanding.At times it feels as if I am reading a religious book by how profound it is. It is very refreshing and I do believe it is also a spiritual book and you need to be ready to read it.It's hard hitting and pulls no punches but I really like how it encourages you.George Mumford's heart and passion really shines through and it has a take it or leave it feel. And a humble approach of writing and it needs a humble approach of reading.I like how it pushes you to action and ignites a flames through how it's written.Go and Experience Mindfulness and learn and do and HAVE COURAGE

As an athlete, when I began reading this book I saw the immediate effect. Putting the knowledge that is given by George Mumford to practice has been very beneficial to the mental aspect of my career. I recommend reading this book as it will enable you as an athlete and also a professional to learn how to settle your thoughts and concerns as we all navigate through life.

L'ho trovato molto utile perché mi ha spiegato una meditazione semplice, ma efficace. Il libro collega la meditazione con la performace, non solo con il rilassamento fine a se stesso.

Great Sports Book
