Throughout time, people have explored the ways in which they can
improve some aspect of their performance. Such attempts are more
visible today, with many working to gain an edge on their
performance, whether it is to learn a new language, improve memory
or increase golf handicaps. This book examines a range of
techniques that are intended to help improve some aspect of
performance, and examines how well they are able to achieve
this.
The various performance enhancing techniques available can be
divided into those where the individual remains passive (receiving
a message, suggestion or stimulus) and those where the individual
needs to take a more active approach. Human Potential looks at a
range of techniques within each of these categories to provide the
reader with a sense of the traditional as well as the more
contemporary approaches used to enhance human performance. The
techniques covered include hypnosis, sleep learning, subliminal
training and audio and visual cortical entrainment as well as
mnemonics, meditation, speed-reading, biofeedback, neurofeedback
and mental imagery practice.
This is the first time such a broad range of techniques has been
brought together to be assessed in terms of effectiveness. It will
be useful to all psychology and sports science students, practicing
psychologists, life coaches and anyone else interested in finding
out about the effectiveness of performance enhancement
techniques.
