This is an amazing book! The title is a bit of a red herring. It is not about “over”-achievement, it is the “proper”-achievement of all our gifts.
The author is eminently well informed. He insists on giving us all the facts that he knows about and at the same time refuses to generalize and indulge in conclusions. He also challenges the conclusions of other authors, that certainly seem to go against their own research. (e.g. the book Flow)

Like Brian said about another book, “get over the title and get it!”. :)

Thanks Brian for having this on your bookshelf for me to see!

The best players in any high-stakes field - business, entertainment, law, surgery, as well as sport - recognize that pressure occurs at the moments when meaningful accomplishment is possible. In fact, that is the reason why performers perform: for the opportunity to tackle challenges head on, to do something significant, to demonstrate what their hard work and talent can produce.

Like squirrels, the best in every business do what they have learned to do without questioning their abilities - they flat out trust their skills, which is why we call this high-performance state of mind the “Trusting Mindset.”
