The timeless multimillion-copy phenomenon. 50th anniversary edition featuring a new foreword by Bill Gates.

‘Groundbreaking . . . I still give it to friends today’ – Bill Gates
‘One of the most powerful mindset books ever written’ – Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive

With unparalleled insights into the mental landscape of performance, The Inner Game of Tennis provides you with the definitive framework for long-term success.

Instead of concentrating on how to improve your technique, Timothy Gallwey starts from the understanding that ‘every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game’. The former is played against opponents on the court, but the latter is a battle within ourselves as we try and overcome self-doubt and anxiety. It is often won or lost before a ball has been hit.

In his revolutionary approach, with applications well beyond tennis, Gallwey will teach you how to:

Trust the intuitive wisdom of your bodyQuiet your mind of worry, fear and distractionAchieve a state of ‘relaxed concentration’, in which success comes naturally

Described by Billie Jean King as her ‘tennis bible’, Timothy Gallwey’s international bestseller has been essential reading for sports players of all abilities since it was first published in 1974. Built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, Gallwey’s method has had a far-reaching impact both on and off the tennis court.

Whether you want to win at tennis, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. This is your key to peak performance.
