New Book Discusses How to Use the Mind to Improve Performance
WAYNE CITY, Ill. (MMD Newswire) April 29, 2009 -- Purposeful Intent: Motivating Your Mind From Within by Pete Andersen, Ph.D., documents his skills-based system for boosting motivation and achieving peak performance.
Motivation is all in the mind, believes behaviorist and sport psychologist Andersen. In Purposeful Intent, Andersen presents The Triad method, which came to him through prayer, to help readers continuously and effectively improve self-performance. Using the three interrelated skills of awareness, evaluation and reinforcement, he shows how to rebuild work ethic, improve study skills and mobilize energy to increase the odds for success.
After 50 years of studying human behavior and top performances from sports professionals, Andersen realized that success has little to do with environment or modeling and everything to do with proving to oneself that improvement is possible with hard work and purposeful effort that creates value. He states that valuable information is readily stored and retrieved in the brain differently than non-valued information. While common knowledge suggests setting high goals to improve performance, Andersen instead writes that top performers do the opposite to set positive goals that are only slightly better than past performances to increase their probability for success and frequency of reward.
Andersen predicts that learning The Triad skills provide permanent changes, unlike other motivational consultants and speakers who provide a pep talk that lasts for 72 hours, but not the how-to skills to motivate performance improvement. Staying motivated, he believes, is a valuable skill that is indispensable in this market economy. "The Triad skills can and should be passed on to increase awareness, acquire knowledge and surpass expectations to greatly improve the performance of companies and organizations, as well as individuals," states Andersen.
