Moment Pressure explores the science behind thriving in high-pressure situations, revealing how cognitive adaptability, emotional regulation, and strategic improvisation are key to real-time decision-making. It delves into how individuals rapidly adjust their mental models under stress and manage emotions that can impair judgment. Contrary to the idea that excelling under pressure is an innate trait, the book emphasizes that these skills can be developed through specific cognitive strategies and training, offering a framework for improving resilience.
The book uniquely combines insights from psychology, neuroscience, and field studies spanning emergency medicine, aviation, and competitive sports, using real-time physiological and behavioral data. It progresses by first introducing core concepts, then expanding through case studies and research, before presenting a high-performance decision-making model. This approach makes complex information accessible, providing actionable insights for business management and beyond.
