No skill is more important in today's world than being able to think about, understand, and act on information in an effective and responsible way. What's more, at no point in human history have we had access to so much information, with such relative ease, as we do in the 21st century. But because misinformation out there has increased as well, critical thinking is more important than ever. These 24 rewarding lectures equip you with the knowledge and techniques you need to become a savvier, sharper critical thinker in your professional and personal life.

One of the most complicated and advanced computers on Earth can't be purchased in any store. This astonishing device, responsible for storing and retrieving vast quantities of information that can be accessed at a moment's notice, is the human brain. How does such a dynamic and powerful machine make memories, learn a language, and remember how to drive a car? What habits can we adopt in order to learn more effectively throughout our lives? The answers to these questions are merely the tip of the iceberg in The Learning Brain.

A best-selling author himself, and the author of the number-one best seller for writers, Plot & Structure, Mr. Bell has been teaching the principles of best-selling fiction for over 20 years, principles that apply to any genre or style.

Understanding our humanity - the essence of who we are - is one of the deepest mysteries and biggest challenges in modern science. Why do we have bad moods? Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

In Understanding and Overcoming Fear, sociologist Margee Kerr, PhD, explains the physiological and contextual aspects of fear, revealing the complexities of this powerful emotion and explaining why you can never experience the exact same fear twice. In 24 episodes, illustrated with fascinating graphics, Professor Kerr takes you on a journey similar to the one she has taken in her own work - from considering fear as a toxic, destructive force that needs to be defeated to an emotion with tremendous upsides in the right circumstances.
Written by: Margee Kerr, and others
Publisher's Summary
"How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice. Practice. Practice." Today, the relatively new science of performance psychology tells us that old answer is incomplete at best. In The Psychology of Performance: How to Be Your Best in Life, clinical sport psychologist Eddie O'Connor, PhD, shares the best ways for you to reach your personal Carnegie Hall based on the latest scientific research - whether your performance environment is music, dance, business, or sport. These often surprising research results will make you rethink your own performance strategies, offering approaches you might never have considered and busting myths you might have taken as truth.
As Dr. O'Connor explains, the work of a sport psychologist is not defined by sport, but by the science of performance psychology, the mental aspects of superior performance in settings where excellence is central - usually sports, the performing arts, business, and high-risk professions such as the military. In Dr. O'Connor's work and in this course, sport is a lens through which to view the issues of practice, anxiety, injury, confidence, and more - issues that apply to any performer.
We've always known that physical training can reshape our bodies. This exciting research reveals that mental training also can modify the structure and function of our brains, resulting in increased neurological ability to perform a particular skill. Purposeful practice gets you there. Learn why it's the only thing that can.

Perfect for anyone who competes... or trains...
I climb, saw the cover and saw mountains, thought I would start with this as my first Audible journey and I was not disappointed! I have learned more about myself and the way I approach my sport from this than I thought was possible! Broken down into easily digestible chunks of information! It has poured into my day to day approach to getting things done!

The content is mostly tailored to sport psychology, though has application outside of sport. In that context, this course provides a good balance of research findings, brief narrative examples, and practical recommendations for athletes or those who support them. Would recommend.

Good Performance, Got Lost in Content,
Would you try another book from The Great Courses and/or Dr. Eddie O'Connor?
Big fan of the Great Courses, would not purchase another book from this author.
Would you recommend The Psychology of Performance: How to Be Your Best in Life to your friends? Why or why not?
Marginal recommendation. Some chapters relevant. Would start with Chapter 3. Early part of book is history of sports psychology or interpreting psychological methods used in the past. I was looking for applications recommendations which are found in Chapter 3. Mid part of book was into meditation and positive thinking ... which started to lose me.
I felt like this was a 3 chapter book which was crammed into 12. Would only recommend if you ok skipping irrelevant content.
What about Dr. Eddie O'Connor’s performance did you like?
Pace and presentation are excellent. Dr. O'Connor is clearly an experienced and knowledgeable presenter.
Did The Psychology of Performance: How to Be Your Best in Life inspire you to do anything?
Helped me with some specific types of goal setting to achieve objectives.

should be titled how to mentally prepare for sport
thought the title of the book was super misleading. it has nothing to do with how to be your best in life, he doesn't talk about different aspects of life everything he refers to is the conditioning of sports. if I would of known that from the beginning probably wouldn't have bought the book

This course helped me personally and professionall
Dr O'Connor's course was a great help to me. As an older dressage rider learning how develop my skill, this course helped me think through the steps I need to take to have my best outcome and quite frankly- fun- doing the sport I love. I learned how important clarifying my values and developing a mindfulness practice will help me act and react in ways that reflects those values. Even though as a psychotherapist, I know this in my daily life, I had not understood how it can change how I practice and how that will make me a better rider.
I have also used the information in this course to help my clients change their behaviors or at least understand why doing therapy along, without a daily practice of some kind, inhibits the progress they want.
Thank you Dr O'Connor and please do more.

Unable to recommend
I studied psychology and even was a teaching assistant and studied cognitive therapy. I can not follow his structure. He uses multiple abstract terms or acronyms strung together to define a "construct'. This has a couple of pearls early on but starting at lecture 8 it deteriorates to unintelligible terms to actually define a "new language" so to speak making it difficult to even discuss the work with anyone who has not studied his terminology and worked to understand it. I tried but with 5:22 remaining it was an exercise in frustration and futility. I am returning this book. Very cumbersome to follow his multiple lists of abstracts to define another abstract term. ie cumbersome mnemonics.

Though this course is sport-focused, and this may resonate best with those who have played sports, essentially every lecture is more broadly applicable to other pursuits (work, relationships), and to life in general

Perfect for athletes or parents of athletes
While this is a great course on performance, this would be more beneficial for those who are actual performers (athletes, stage life, etc.) or coaches or if you are a parent to a performer or you want to improve a sport you’re currently involved in.
The psychology he covers is still good information for performance improvement in other areas of life too, but a lot of his examples were of the athletes he was consulting and working with, which I felt like I didn’t relate with as much since I am an not a performer (unless we’re talking about the singing I do in the shower errrydayy)
