Description
Reveals a structured mind-body system for cultivating effortless action and intelligent spontaneity for peak performance.
Emotional Intuition for Peak Performance details four fundamental habits and routines that are essential for developing peak performance and explains how to incorporate them into daily life. It explains the cognitive science behind the development of expert skills and how the teachings of ancient Eastern sages align with these scientific findings. The book also offers practices for cultivating physical and mental intelligence, fasting the mind, and harnessing creativity to achieve your desires.
Integrating the wisdom of the ancient sages with modern science, Jason Gregory explains how world-class artists and athletes reach peak performanceβand how you, too, can harness this βlifestyle technologyβ to make your actions effortless, enjoy intelligent spontaneity, and reach optimal performance at a peak level. Drawing on modern cognitive science, Gregory explains dual process theory, which divides mental activity into two spheres: cold cognition, analogous with rational thought, and hot cognition, based on emotional intuitionβa theory anticipated by ancient Eastern thought, especially the teachings of the Chinese sages.
The author explains that peak performance is impossible to achieve by relying solely on cold cognition as it cuts you off from the energy reserves necessary to excel. He shows how the athletic concept of being βin the zoneβ is based on practices that have become energized by hot cognition and thus instinctive.
Outlining a structured training system that blends hot and cold cognition, the author identifies four fundamental habits and routines that lay the foundation for a healthy embodied mind and mindful body and thus are essential for developing peak performance and success. He explains how these training methods are practical applications of ancient wisdom from Zen and Taoist traditions, such as wu-wei, as well as how they are supported by recent medical research.
Building on the four fundamentals, he offers practices for cultivating physical and mental intelligence, fasting the mind, and harnessing creativity to achieve your desires. Gregory explains how, with regular practice, we can use the four fundamentals to create masterpiece days. And, as the masterpiece days compound, you build an unstoppable momentum where success is inevitable.
