The Breakout Principle

In this self-help book, and followup to the bestselling THE RELAXATION RESPONSE, Dr. Benson offers practical advice on triggers that can help us switch on the mechanisms that help us achieve peak performance. What are triggers and how do they work? How do they open the door to peak performance? Benson shares the results of interviews with those who have achieved peak performance in fields such as athletics, performance, creativity, business, etc. and he presents scientific findings on the physiology of peak performance. In the practical part of the book, Benson suggests triggers that readers can relate to and borrow from, such as watching sports, sitting with your pet, or folding laundry. He defines the actual mechanisms involved in the Breakout, and how they can bring us to a higher level of self-awareness, creativity, productivity, and, ultimately, transcendence. Benson has discovered that a belief system is one aspect of peak performance, and he shares his insights into how the Breakout principle can lead to greater transcendence. While it is a self-help book, THE BREAKOUT PRINCIPLE applies to groups as well, and Benson shows how it can work for business. Benson considers the Breakout to be the ultimate self-help principle that can lead to transcendence. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
