One of the best books I've read this year. It fits nicely into a collection about focus, competition, purpose, and learning that I have on my real and digital bookshelves. I'm so happy I read it and think I'll revisit it often, like those other books.
The book uses tennis as the setting for how we tackle internal and external challenges in life. External would be challenges in work and sport: How do we launch a new product? How do I win this tennis tournament? Internal challenges are the challenges we face internally: Why am I playing this game or working at this job? What motivates me and is that a healthy motivator? How can I use the energy I am wasting on stress and anxiety better? Really compelling questions.
It's a short read at about 130 pages. I found myself taking about 2x as long to read it as normal, in part because I was contemplating how my own life would change if I could improve my own inner game. Answer: immensely.
I recommend it for those who are interested in techniques for improving your output at work, sport, or in whatever part of life you're interested in. I think it can apply to it all.
It may sound self-help-y but I don't think it falls neatly into that category. There is no secret to success at Inner Game to be sold and this guide is surprisingly practical.

More Zen of Tennis than 'peak performance' stuff - really good & sensible. Now I want to take up tennis...
I learned a lot from this book and it has definitely made me a better musician, but it was a pain to get through. I thought the tennis stuff would just be a metaphor, but he really focuses too much on sports for my taste.
