The Stress Test: How Pressure Can Make You Stronger and Sharper

Description: While some people rise to a challenge and function better in difficult situations, others fall apart. The difference between too much pressure and too little can result in either debilitating stress or demotivation. The right level of challenge, however, can help people flourish. This level varies hugely between individuals and situations but when reached it is what Robertson refers to as the 'sweet spot'. This spot can be changed, and in this book, based on his own research and clinical observations, Robertson reveals how we can use the sweet spot to control stress and boost performance. A neuroscientist and trained clinical psychologist, Ian Robertson is an international expert on neuropsychology. Currently Professor of Psychology at Trinity College Dublin, and formerly Fellow of Hughes Hall, Cambridge, he holds visiting professorships at the University of Toronto, University College London and the University of Wales. He is a member of the Royal Irish Academy and has published over 250 scientific articles in leading journals. He is also author and editor of ten scientific books and three books for the general reader, most recently, The Winner Effect. He is a regular keynote speaker at conferences on brain function throughout the world.
