Elite Mental-Conditioning Consultant Releases "It Takes What It Takes," Published by HarperOne

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A top mental conditioning coach who has transformed the lives and careers of elite athletes, CEOs, and military personnel, Trevor Moawad is hailed as "the world's best brain trainer" (Sports Illustrated). Alongside Andy Staples, top college football and basketball writer, the book explores neutral mindset philosophy and is the prescriptive read for anyone who wants to train their brain and improve performance.

The son of high school basketball coach-turned-world-renowned self-help pioneer,  Bob Moawad, Trevor learned the power of motivational thinking at a young age and went on to develop neutral thinking, his own innovative motivational system. It's based on the principle that: "The past isn't predictive. The past isn't prologue. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything can change. You'll feel more calm, more aware of the situation as it unfolds, moment to moment. And the athlete, employee,  spouse, or parent who's more calm and more aware generally succeeds."

In IT TAKES WHAT IT TAKES: How to Think Neutrally and Gain Control of Your Life (HarperOne; February 4, 2020; $27.99), Trevor Moawad reveals proven strategies that give readers the tools they need to replace negativity with neutral thinking. With powerful examples from his own personal and professional challenges—and his work with coaches including Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, and Jimbo Fisher, CEOs, and military special forces—Trevor explains how to use neutral thinking to effectively manage both failure and success.

"No matter where I work, the same truth keeps emerging," he writes.  "Neutral thinking is the key to unlocking a set of behaviors that can turn also-rans into champions and champions into legends.  But you don't need to be an elite athlete to benefit. Let me tell you  how thinking like a Super Bowl-winning quarterback can help you win in all aspects of your life."

Highlights include:

—the three states of truth-based thinking
—how to cope with the "illusion of choice"
—how language can be a predictor of performance
—how to embrace pressure
—how to do simple better
—how to stay on a negativity diet
—how to create your own personal ad campaign

Filled with winning stories and straightforward strategies, IT TAKES WHAT IT TAKES will help readers develop neutral thinking and realize their greatest potential in work and life.
