Recommendation

Everyone faces “clutch” situations, those times when you need to function under intense pressure. Few excel in these stressful moments; most choke. New York Times columnist Paul Sullivan investigates what makes the notable few who can handle stress so reliable under pressure. He interviews top athletes – including Tiger Woods – highly decorated combat veterans, seasoned heads of financial institutions, and successful traders to discover their secrets and methods.

Take-Aways

  • To be “clutch” is to shine in stressful circumstances that require you to make crucial decisions quickly.
  • Very few people do well in the clutch. Most people “choke” or fail to rise to the occasion.
  • Excelling under pressure in one arena doesn’t mean you’ll do equally well in all areas.
