The book "Smart Tennis: How to Play and Win the Mental Game" continues to sell well, and people are discovering that it goes way beyond tennis and even beyond sports. Here is what Jim Fencl recently wrote in an email:
Dr. Murray, I was given your book Smart Tennis by my wife for Christmas. In January I got laid off from my job. Along with a couple other books I received, I started to read yours first. Not only is your book helping me discover new meanings to the game of Tennis, it also helped me apply goal setting and performance, and somehow comforted me in my search for a new job. So far I'm on my second reading. I just want to thank you for your wisdom in your book. It is helping me to apply the mental skills not only to Tennis, but to life as it is in the present. I read this quote once: "The only way to succeed when you've failed before is not to dwell on the past, but to keep your mind on the task before you". Thanks Dr Murray, Jim Fencl |

 Dr. John F. Murray recently launched a
new website for his local Palm Beach,
Florida business community. Called
Referz.com, it is a directory of the finest
goods and services located in the
Town of Palm Beach and some of the
surrounding areas. Businesses are
arranged in 30 categories and links
refer the reader directly to the owner's
website. "It is far better than the yellow pages, said Dr. Murray, because they don't give you the actual website of the business you are interested in learning more about." Give it a try, it's very useful in finding what you want, and you learn about Palm Beach too. |
