Summary

Sprint Focus dives into the pivotal role of mental training in maximizing athletic performance, especially in sprinting. It highlights how cognitive functions like focus and reaction time can be honed to unlock hidden speed reserves. The book emphasizes the concept of neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize itself, and explores cognitive training techniques such as visualization to enhance neural pathways. This approach challenges the traditional emphasis on purely physical attributes, advocating for a holistic mind-body integration in training. 

 
The book argues that mental acuity is often a rate-limiting factor in sprinting. It explains how optimizing cognitive function can lead to faster reaction times, improved focus, and more efficient muscle recruitment. Drawing from sports psychology, neuroscience, and kinesiology, Sprint Focus provides a comprehensive understanding of the mental elements of sprinting.

 
The book progresses from introducing fundamental concepts of cognitive neuroscience to exploring specific training techniques and integrating them into a comprehensive program. Ultimately, Sprint Focus distinguishes itself by providing concrete, evidence-based strategies and exercises that athletes and coaches can immediately implement to improve athletic performance. It adopts a conversational yet authoritative tone, presenting complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner. It offers a practical framework for integrating mental training with sprint programs, aiming to help athletes unlock their full potential and achieve new levels of speed and success.

    Drawing on more than 20 years of experience as a spiritual teacher and psychologist, Patrick Marando has written a guide to remembering who you really are - teaching how you, too, can live from the state he calls the true self. Patrick bridges the gap between spirituality and modern psychology, describing how we become disconnected from our true self, providing a guide to remembering your truth and fully awakening to who you are. The result will be a life of well-being, peace, and fulfillment. Patrick also discusses how the mind develops and functions, how it doesn't always align with the true self; he explains how to utilize our minds to help - instead of limit - us. He thoroughly describes our common emotions and tells us why we have them, how to manage and utilize them to help align with the true self. With his clear explanations and practical exercises, Patrick has created a step-by-step guide to being human and overcoming the barriers to living your truth.

    When we think of the Renaissance, we often think of paintings. And indeed, many painters and sculptors were part of the artistic transformation the Renaissance caused. But there was more. The Renaissance basically formed a period of collective enlightenment and freedoms that put an end to certain tyrannies and false notions from the Middle Ages. 
    The Renaissance is a time in European history marking the shift from the Middle Ages to modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries, identified by an effort to restore and exceed ideas and accomplishments of classical antiquity. It happened after the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages and was related to great social change. Aside from the basic periodization, advocates of a "long Renaissance" might put its start in the 14th century and its end in the 17th century. 
    Rather than a few years or specific dates, let’s take a look at what the extensive time period of the Renaissance provided, and what it leaves us with today.

    "The Elements of Style is an American English writing style guide in numerous editions. The original was written by William Strunk Jr. in 1918, and it was published by Harcourt in 1920, comprising eight "elementary rules of usage," ten "elementary principles of composition," "a few matters of form," a list of 49 "words and expressions commonly misused," and a list of 57 "words often misspelled." Strunk concentrated on the cultivation of good writing and composition; the original 1918 edition exhorted writers to "omit needless words," use the active voice, and employ parallelism appropriately."
