The "secret" is... August 18, 2008
3 out of 4 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.

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.

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.

This book is a gem. In "Finding Your Zone" Dr. Michael Lardon uses clear and concise language to articulate ten lessons that when practiced together lead to peak performance and a successful life. The principles that Dr. Lardon articulates are simple and ring true.
Dr Lardon, a sports psychiatrist, has for many years studied a state of being that he calls the "Zone" or "timeless time". These are the moments in life when we achieve complete synchronicity between thoughts and actions and perform at our highest level. Dr. Lardon writes that in this state we can accomplish great physical feats yet the mind, paradoxically, remains empty and still.
"Finding Your Zone" identifies ten life lessons that allow us to achieve this optimum state. Dr. Lardon illustrates each lesson with colorful examples that he has observed both in his clinical psychiatric practice and as a sports psychologist to top-level athletes. His firsthand stories about PGA golfers will delight any sports fan. He brings each lesson home to the reader by providing simple yet profound exercises that give the reader a direct experience of the lesson at issue.
Finding Your Zone has inspired me to reach for my highest potential. It has also provided me with effective tools to reach that potential. I whole-heartedly recommend "Finding Your Zone" to anyone who wants to achieve their life goals.
