        Have a look at Geoff Thompson books, I've read a few and he gets to the point well.

        Go for 'Fear a friend of exceptional people'

        It's aimed a little towards martial arts, it explains how to control adrenilin dumps and how to use fear in your favour. I read it when I was competing in lots of thai boxing fights and it helped me sustain my energy levels and not burn out due to adrenal rushes.

        But it also says how it applies to other walks of life like work, relationships etc and it helped me with presentations, interviews etc so worth a read!

            Out of curiosity, did the first page of this book read something like 'Learn to clear your mind of all things' and when you turned to the next page and beyond, it was blank?

                      Don't know who robert kiyosaka is, I've read 4 books by Robert Kiyosaki and neither silver nor sticking plaster are mentioned at all. Maybe that's in a book I'm yet to read..
