All I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! August 26, 2008
I started reading this book, and could not put it down. A few hours later I was finished, read it literally cover to cover. All I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! It's great. I'll read it again and again (I'm like that-- I read good books over and over).
The book was fascinating, and put so many pieces of the puzzle together for me regarding optimizing your mental state to perform well in sports (or life as the case may be). I've been in that Zone in my athletic life, but wasn't quite sure how I got there or why. I definitely enjoyed being there, and often wondered when that magic would come back. And I feel like I now have the tools to put me back, which is a nice feeling. So, I thank the kind doctor for taking the time to write a book like this.
If you're an athlete, and especially in a sport that involves intense concentration with nerves often defining the moments, like tennis, golf, ping pong, fencing, etc., this book is a MUST READ. Wait, let me say that again, MUST READ.
The "secret" is... August 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Finding Your Zone" clearly and concisely delivers the message that achieving success and attaining happiness can be found through 10 fundamental steps that anyone can learn and do. Dr. Lardon doesn't say it's easy, but that with effort and dedication it can be done.
Though he's located in Southern California, Dr. Lardon doesn't recommend crystals, chanting or finding a 10,000 year old guru. He delivers here a philosophy of living that has served him and many world class athletes extremely well. His "secret" is that there is no secret. Learning and practicing the 10 lessons in the book will provide you with everything necessary to get into your zone.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to improve their sporting, business and/or personal life. I'm on my fourth reading and am finding it as helpful and interesting as the first three times.
Enlightening, engaging and essential read August 18, 2008

Finding Your Zone: Ten Core Lessons for Achieving Peak Performance in Sports and Life
Dr. Lardon's message beautifully envelopes the essence of science, medicine, physiology, psychology, and spirituality in a sports format that the layman can identify, understand and integrate into his consciousness. It is written in such an anecdotal and user friendly format that the quintessential wisdom is absorbed almost effortlessly.
A Fresh Take on Peak Performance August 16, 2008

Many books have been written on how to improve your swing or your athletic performance. Dr. Lardon focuses on the mind and its impact on our ability to perform at our best. "Finding Your Zone" succinctly lays out simple steps that even the weekend warrior can use to optimize performance, whether in sports or meditation. What gives the book its "meat" or credibility is not just the fact that Lardon is an MD, who has done years of research on the Zone, but that he is also an athlete who has competed at the highest international levels. From this experience and his work with top athletes, the author provides great anecdotes which help illustrate his points. "Finding Your Zone" is one of the best books I have read of this genre. It is a wonderful read!

I survived cancer through positive thinking and a will to live. I read every book I could get my hands on with regards to having a positive influence on my life and those around me. Finding Your Zone is by far the best book I have come across for accomplishing just that. The great thing about this book is that Dr. Lardons ten core lessons can be applied in all aspects of life wether it is fighting a disease or winning your club championship.
