Closing a deal. Asking for a raise. Nailing the big presentation. Success or failure is determined in the few crucial moments when you need to bring your absolute best. Will you?

In Psyched Up, acclaimed Harvard Business Review journalist Daniel McGinn explains why mental preparation is the key to mastering any challenge. Drawing on the latest psychological research and interviews with high-performing professionals from General Stanley McChrystal to legendary tennis coach Nick Bollettieri, McGinn reveals how to develop a tailored pregame routine to help you succeed in the moments that truly count.

Full of surprising insights, from why trying to calm your backstage jitters can do more harm than good to the power of meaningless rituals over last-minute rehearsals, Psyched Up debunks the myths surrounding performance and unveils a life-changing new approach to personal preparation. Whether you're in sports or sales, an actor or an entrepreneur, Psyched Up will ensure you deliver when it matters most.
