Reveals a structured mind-body system for cultivating effortless
action and intelligent spontaneity for peak performance Integrating
the wisdom of the ancient sages with modern science, Jason Gregory
explains how world-class artists and athletes reach peak
performance--and how you, too, can harness this "lifestyle
technology" to make your actions effortless, enjoy intelligent
spontaneity, and reach optimal performance at a peak level. Drawing
on modern cognitive science, Gregory explains dual process theory,
which divides mental activity into two spheres: cold cognition,
analogous with rational thought, and hot cognition, based on
emotional intuition--a theory anticipated by ancient Eastern
thought, especially the teachings of the Chinese sages. The author
explains that peak performance is impossible to achieve by relying
solely on cold cognition as it cuts you off from the energy
reserves necessary to excel. He shows how the athletic concept of
being "in the zone" is based on practices that have become
energized by hot cognition and thus instinctive. Outlining a
structured training system that blends hot and cold cognition, the
author identifies four fundamental habits and routines that lay the
foundation for a healthy embodied mind and mindful body and thus
are essential for developing peak performance and success. He
explains how these training methods are practical applications of
ancient wisdom from Zen and Taoist traditions, such as wu-wei, as
well as how they are supported by recent medical research. Building
on the four fundamentals, he offers practices for cultivating
physical and mental intelligence, fasting the mind, and harnessing
creativity to achieve your desires. Gregory explains how, with
regular practice, we can use the four fundamentals to create
masterpiece days. And, as the masterpiece days compound, you build
an unstoppable momentum where success is inevitable.
