Giving the best of yourself at every moment and in every situation.
A book for anybody who wants to increase the efficiency of their mind and body.

Performance is a highly topical word and attitude that permeates every sector of society. This makes it interesting to analyse, understand how it works and develop this kind of attitude in practice. Dr Nardone uses tools and practical enhancement and relaxation techniques to teach us to go beyond our limitations, in order to overcome stress and uncertainty, and reach new targets. He first worked on many of these aspects by helping managers, athletes, actors, speakers, artists, students, musicians, surgeons and many others manage their performance, find a way of giving the best of themselves and overcome doubts, fears, blockages and anxieties.

Videoconference on Zoom, drinks on WhatsApp: it’s the boom of video calls, but what’s different in digital communications? An instructions manual for correct speaking and effective activity online.

Our lives have altered over the past few months and so has communication. The change has occurred in particular in the decrease of power in non-verbal (looks, expression, gestures) and para-verbal (rhythm and volume of a voice, inflection, pauses and silences) communication. All these elements alone convey 80% of the emotion in a conversation. Their contribution is so important that, in cases where there is an inconsistency between verbal and non-verbal channels, it’s the latter we tend to trust. Giorgio Nardone teaches us little tricks to improve our approach to work and interpersonal relations, even from behind a screen.
