Regardless of the task, pressure ruthlessly diminishes our judgment, decision-making, attention, dexterity, and performance in every professional and personal arena. In Performing Under Pressure , Drs. Hendrie Weisinger and J.P. Pawliw-Fry introduce us to the concept of pressure management, offering empirically tested short term and long term solutions to help us overcome the debilitating effects of pressure. Performing Under Pressure tackles the greatest obstacle to personal success, whether in a sales presentation, at home, on the golf course, interviewing for a job, or performing onstage at Carnegie Hall. Despite sports mythology, no one "rises to the occasion" under pressure and does better than they do in practice. The reality is pressure makes us do worse, and sometimes leads us to fail utterly. But there are things we can do to diminish its effects on our performance. Performing Under Pressure draws on research from over 12,000 people, and features the latest research from neuroscience and from the frontline experiences of Fortune 500 employees and managers, Navy SEALS, Olympic and other elite athletes, and others. It offers 22 specific strategies each of us can use to reduce pressure in our personal and professional lives and allow us to better excel in whatever we do. Whether you’re a corporate manager, a basketball player, or a student preparing for the SAT, Performing Under Pressure will help you to do your best when it matters most. Review: Proven strategies in this book are really proven - the methods are bolstered by research - I have read several books on how to handle stress, pressure, on how to reach your goals. I have to admit that this book is different. Firstly, all the information in the book is bolstered by an evidence. One time it is a science research, another time it is a method used with a success by a leader in a certain field (for example a method used by a top basketball player). Secondly, the authors are not fostering the myth of self-esteem being the most important part of the equation. They state it explicitly that they do not agree with this omnipresent couching statement. This may be a disadvantage for some of the readers though. It is not a book for people who seek an easy and painless solution. The book is divided into 3 parts. The first one is an introduction to the book, the second one is a set of short-term pressure solutions, and the last one, my favourite, is on how to build a robust confidence and tenacity. I own a Kindle version and an audiobook. I recommend them both. The quality of an audio version is excellent. Review: Life Changing - This is an amazing read and a book that you will return to throughout. The book is transformational. I personally have mastered managing pressure because of the insights and tactics that Dr. Weisinger shares in this book. As an executive coach and author, I continue to reference Dr. Weisinger's teaching in my coaching practice. His work is for all stages of development -- even school-age children benefit from knowing what pressure is and managing it! Get a copy, it is well worth the investment. What the title says is the result that you will achieve. Thank you, Dr. Hendrie Weisinger for such a profound gift! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #68,957 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #195 in Business Decision Making #200 in Decision-Making & Problem Solving #279 in Stress Management Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 515 Reviews | ## Images ![Performing Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UguFM2hUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Proven strategies in this book are really proven - the methods are bolstered by research *by W***H on January 13, 2018* I have read several books on how to handle stress, pressure, on how to reach your goals. I have to admit that this book is different. Firstly, all the information in the book is bolstered by an evidence. One time it is a science research, another time it is a method used with a success by a leader in a certain field (for example a method used by a top basketball player).

I personally have mastered managing pressure because of the insights and tactics that Dr. Weisinger shares in this book. As an executive coach and author, I continue to reference Dr. Weisinger's teaching in my coaching practice.

Thank you, Dr. Hendrie Weisinger for such a profound gift! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Has an unecessary agenda built in to what otherwise is a good book *by C***D on March 5, 2017* I had life long perceptions challenged by this book but for the most part, it had enough research behind the theories that it all made sense. I was disappointed in all the needless references to evolution because there were obvious alternative possibilities but beyond that heavy tilt which was almost literally on every page. This agenda of making everything repeatedly tied to atheistic evolution spoiled my enjoyment. The constant repetition of this theme was very distracting and totally necessary. It was pervasive throughout the book. When I was done reading it I felt I had read a book on evolution with well researched data on how to perform under pressure thrown in. ## Frequently Bought Together - Performing Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most - The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance - The Champion's Mind: How Great Athletes Think, Train, and Thrive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/12739604-performing-under-pressure-the-science-of-doing-your-best-when](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/12739604-performing-under-pressure-the-science-of-doing-your-best-when) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
