Unlike overload in other demanding professions, attorney stress is specific to the legal world and can't be tackled with one-size-fits-all advice. In Lawyer Like an Athlete, clinical psychologist and attorney wellness expert Dr. Amy Wood presents a power-packed program for achieving the kind of peak performance that sports figures strive for under unrivaled pressure.
Dr. Wood's techniques–internal/external balancing, thought conditioning, and envisioning the win, to name a few–are grounded in her research and coaching with attorneys. Proven through her popular Lawyer Like an Athlete workshops, her clear explanations and thought-provoking prompts and exercises are easy to follow and integrate into the relentless reality of lawyering. Success stories from career athletes and Dr. Wood's own clients provide the ongoing motivation and inspiration necessary to make progress in the face of common attorney dilemmas. By zeroing in on enhancing attorney productivity and happiness with interventions potent enough for the intensity of lawyering, this long-overdue book shows attorneys how to "go pro" in their cutthroat field - without sacrificing well-being.
