A Warrior's Guide to Psychology and Performance - What You Should Know About Yourself and Others (Paperback)

This timely, well-organised, and practical guide for the war fighter offers the collaborative contributions of dedicated military and civilian experts. Each chapter examines specific demands of military life and service, such as nutrition and its role in physical and cognitive performance, including details about military rations like Meals Ready to Eat (MREs). It also explores sleep: why you need it, how much you need, what happens when you are deprived of it, and how to recognise deprivation's effects. The authors also discuss various aspects of stress: what it is, what its effects are on your body and mind, and how to recognise it, prevent it, and handle it. The book devotes an extensive discussion to hardiness and resilience, focusing on preparing yourself and your family and friends for stressful military deployments in order to avoid or minimise their associated pressures. Finally, the authors address common problems experienced after a deployment and offer tips on how to make your transition back home as smooth as possible for yourself and your family. In each case, the expert contributors have emphasised specific skills, strategies, behaviour, and support measures that you can apply to benefit your own overall psychological health, performance, and longevity.
