== Quotes from the book ==

''See also:'' [[Peak performance]]

"Confidence makes one’s [[peak performance]] possible, and that’s why it’s of such great importance to anyone who has to step into an arena and deliver their best." 

"When it comes to confidence, however, [[logic]] isn’t always helpful. Logic dictates that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, that the team or opponent that beat you last time will do it again, that the job task that has always been troublesome will continue to be so. If strict logic was indeed the answer to everything and had always been followed, the Wright brothers would have never gotten off the ground, and [[Roger Bannister]] would never have broken four minutes in the mile run. Being “logical” closes us off from [[creativity]], [[joy]], and the discovery of anything new, precisely those things that give our lives the greatest meaning."
