Since you were taken by the philosophy of the book, (I assume!), let me suggest a book by the sports psychologist, Dr. Bob Rotella. He helps professional athletes learn to develop mental strengths to overcome the nerves excited during competition. He's worked with basketball players, golfers and others.

I highly recommend his book, "How Champions Think (In Sports and Life)." It's full of great positive insights with lessons on how to ignore negative thoughts and influences.
