It was a pleasure to interview Dr. Nate Zinsser, author of the new book The Confident Mind: A Battle-Tested Guide to Unshakable Performance.

Dr. Zinsser is an expert in the psychology of human performance and consults with individuals and organizations seeking a competitive edge. He has been endorsed by people like Eli Manning, bestselling authors Jon Krakauer and Steven Pressfield, and US Olympic Bobsled Head Coach Mike Kohn.

He has created a sports psychology program for cadets seeking the mental edge for athletic, academic, and military performance that the United States Military Academy has adopted.

His talk today provides a glimpse into mental toughness training at West Point and how you can alter your physiology for better performance.
