"The mind programme that helped me win my Olympic Golds" Sir Chris Hoy "Steve Peters is the most important person in my career" Victoria Pendleton, World and Olympic Cycling Champion "If you want to know, in general terms, about the psychological techniques that Bradley Wiggins used in the Tour de France that helped him win, you can find out through this book, The Chimp Paradox by Dr Steve Peters" Richard Bacon, Radio Five Live "For anyone guilty of sabotaging their own happiness, these wise words and insights could be just what you need." The Sun "Steve and his book can take a leadership team where ego, insecurity and emotion dominate, and turn them into a harmonious group where the team is truly more than the sum of its parts. Anyone running a leadership team will tell you that this is, literally, priceless. My team has shifted from being a talented group of individuals, largely doing their own thing, to a group that can challenge each other on really difficult issues, with the best outcome in mind. Gold dust." -- Sue Garrard
