Hey Jared, Its been away since I studied to the full max the mental game but it always is somewhere in the back of my mind. I always hear a voice say at some point that there is a solution to this problem. At times I still have to remind myself that problems give us an opportunity to learn but for some reason I just can't get it to the Unconscious competence. lol
Anyway, I was wondering if you could some how guide me to the right source or give any advice of how I can use this mental game strategy you use for real life problems. Such as planning you next step in life or figuring out how I can grow balls to get this girls number. I learned from experience that poker is not the most important thing in life and if I spend time trying to improve my poker. I want to spend time trying to improve my life as a whole.
Chris

Hey Chris,
It has been a while – I hope things are going well for you.
You still have to remind yourself that problems are opportunities because its a BIG change and I'm guessing that you're not constantly learning/working on that one thing. Being conscious of what you're trying to improve is the easiest way to do it, rather than having a lot of things to learn and then having to experience setbacks to remind you of what you're learning. If you think this one thing is important enough to master – spend all of 2012 mastering it and see where it takes you.
Unfortunately, I don't have other resources for how you can apply the concepts to other areas of life. But, you can certainly take some self-help books and use the information to educate you on things to learn, and then use my book to help understand how to better apply it.
Best,
Jared

Sounds really good actually.

This makes a lot of sense. The biggest problem I have right now is actually finding out what I want to do. I have a list but for some reason picking 2 or 3 out of it seems so hard bc I dont want to forget about the others.

Well it's a good problem to have when you have several things you're excited about. One thing to consider doing is looking closely at your values, the kind of life you want, what you're passionate about, etc. See if that helps you to understand which option is more attractive.
Also, keep in mind, sometimes you need to gain the experience of doing one and focusing on it, to really understand if it's right or wrong for you. That means you may give up on your other ideas for the moment, but can pick them up again in the future.

Hey Jared,
I'm hugely enjoying the book. As a retired ex professsional I bought it because of my interesting in performance and to apply it mostly to other aspects of my life. The crossover is fairly big. I'm interested in what you have said here, are there any self help books or performance books geared writen for more in general? Any you'd recommend and also what performance based books would you also recommend?
Thanks

Great to hear you've enjoyed the book so much and that you see the cross over being really big. There are a ton of general self help/performance books out there, I just don't have any that I've read recently or would recommend. Hop on Amazon or go to any book store, do a search for something that interests you – I'm sure there's some good stuff out there.
These few general books that I've enjoyed reading in the last few years:
Art of Learning
Outliers
The Talent Code
All the best,
Jared
