What do critics say?

Here’s what one of the prominent reviewers had to say about the book: “Bar-Eli, a professor of business and sports psychology at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, takes an energetic look at management and business success. Inspired to write a book on his lifelong interest—human performance—after a Parkinson’s diagnosis made him realize that his time was limited, Bar-Eli presents lessons from sports psychology, a field that he posits can aid our understanding of human behavior in general, and particularly our understanding of business activities.” — Publishers Weekly
