Overview
From performance expert Paddy Steinfort comes the category-defining book on why capable people fall apart when the stakes are highest, and a simple, proven system to be at your best when it matters most.
Having guided the world’s greatest athletes, first responders, and military leaders through the most pressure-packed moments in their careers, Paddy Steinfort has found that the typical advice to “clear your mind” and “just stay positive” doesn’t work when you need it most. Drawing on his applied psychology research at Penn, the latest in neuroscience, and behind-the-scenes work with MVPs, Olympians, ER teams, and billion-dollar CEOs, Steinfort uncovers the Survival Spiral - the four ways pressure hijacks body and brain - and gives you the FACE Pressure Framework to counter each stage, so you can:
- Feel what pressure is doing to your body - and use it, rather than fight it.
- Aim your attention toward what matters most, instead of whatever’s loudest.
- Commit to a clear next move, even when the path through the pressure isn’t.
- Execute under fire - and still stay loose enough to enjoy the unpredictable.
Whether your pressure is in a boardroom or a locker room, playing out in a public arena or a private conversation that's been keeping you up at night, Pressure Point gives you a research-backed framework for clarity, presence, and conviction when it counts.
