Description

Why do some people flourish in high-stress situations, while others feel overwhelmed or discouraged How do some remain calm under pressure, where others succumb to stress

The difference is in mindset.

When you have the skills and knowledge to stay in control, regulate your emotions and manage your reactions, even the most difficult circumstances become opportunities to excel, thrive and grow. But this quality - also known as poise - is not innate. It comes from preparation and practice.

In this book, experienced paramedic Leigh Anderson:
- shares true life-and-death stories from his career
- explores the latest scientific research on mindset, stress and resilience
- reveals his secrets for maintaining poise.

The result is an arsenal of clear, effective and actionable tools that will boost your ability to perform under pressure.

The Paramedic Mindset is essential reading for anyone who wants to face the challenges of life head on.
