Everyone who plays pool knows that it is "mostly mental," but the
conventional wisdom about the mental game is about as accurate as
the idea that the earth is flat. Until now, no one with any
expertise on how the human mind works has bothered to write about
pool. In Pleasures of Small Motions, Bob Fancher, a psychotherapist
and pool columnist, breaks new ground by applying good science to
the mental game of billiards.This book does for pool what Timothy
Gallwey's bestselling "The Inner Game" books did for golf and
tennis. Fancher explains how the conscious and unconscious mind
work together, prescribes drills to help players improve, advises
on mastering emotion and developing rhythm, explains the difference
between concentration and focus, and gives invaluable insight on
competitive play. (6 x 9, 160 pages, illustrations)Bob Fancher's
column, "Dr. Bob, Pool Shrink," appears monthly in The American
Cueist. He earned his Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University and practiced
psychotherapy in New York for fourteen years. His acclaimed book
Cultures of Healing has been used in classes at Columbia
University, Princeton, and many other schools, and is writing has
appeared in The Washington Post and other publications. He lives in
Austin, Texas.
