Getting to Neutral is a very sports analogy heavy book on changing your thoughts to change your life. The author is very experienced and seems to have worked with almost every famous sports star currently playing; and shares the secrets of their mental work for success. The author also ties the work to what he has had to do to work through his diagnosis of cancer. Getting to Neutral is an important concept, how can you change your thinking to go from worst case and center yourself during stress. It is the antithesis of thinking positive which sometimes feels like lying, especially if you are not naturally an optimist. I enjoyed the book although at times the name dropping can be a bit much as well as repetitive.

Getting to Neutral looks at how to get through difficult life challenges and achieving your goals through the idea of neutral thinking. Just thinking positive does not allow your mind to see past challenges and problem solve when faced with adversity. Instead, being able to analyze a situation without emotion is the key to neutral thinking, and allow people to step outside their emotions to conquer their goals. Trevor Moawad sets the stage to understand the idea of neutral thinking and demonstrates its use through clear anecdotes. It was a different way of thinking about tackling goals and facing life's challenges head on.
