Caution: motivational bullshit!

How can we increase our performance, go beyond our own limits and expand and overcome them, without sooner or later ending up burned out, exhausted, injured or even dead? Dr Michele Ufer distances himself from conventional motivational slogans and goes on the hunt for clues with 20 top-ranking guests from the world of sport and business.

LIMIT SKILLS combines fascinating stories about top performance and experiences of limits with exciting interviews and insights into personality structures, mental strengths and collaborative thinking of those who have successfully pushed their limits and high performers. Brainstorming sessions from psychology and mental training inspire you to go searching for clues within yourself.

Dive into new worlds and find your own strengths at your limits!

READERS’ COMMENTS

With Limit Skills, Dr Michele Ufer uses interviews with experts to investigate a new concept in sports psychology, which will certainly attract some attention to itself in research and application in the future. Ufer is presenting a ground-breaking book on a subject that is definitely innovative.

Wow! A really great book! I’m not just saying that because I’m in it. I read the latest book from Michele Ufer, Limit Skills, while travelling to my competition in Utah, USA. It gave me a real motivational boost for the 92-hour non-stop run!

Michele Ufer, once again impressively manages to put his readers in a flow-similar state and includes scientific findings which might otherwise seem a bit dry in his fascinating expeditions – whether that’s in the Chilean Atacama Desert, in the jungle of Peru or in his cool, rainy homeland. I devoured the flow hunter’s findings in a 12-hour ultra-reading marathon.

Michele Ufer’s best book to date in my opinion, since it provides valuable assistance to all athletes and also in other areas in life. The wide-ranging experiences of completely different people bring the whole thing to life enormously.
