Synopsis

"Brilliant! Paradigm-blasting and profound." - Steven Pressfield, Bestselling author of Gates of Fire and The War of Art

Get a Grip.

The first time he cut open a patient's skull, renowned neurosurgeon Mark McLaughlin found himself confronting a powerful force that his fellow brain surgeons agreed was best never spoken of.

Fear.

But Dr. McLaughlin knew that if he couldn't find a way to cope with this formidable foe, his career in neurosurgery would be lost. So, with a neurosurgeon's analytical precision and a philosopher's worldview, McLaughlin derived and formalized a method by which he could act rationally and confidently in the neurosurgical operating room and in all of the complex relationships in his life, especially under fear's profound influence.

With inspiration and guidance from intellectual titans like Rene Descartes, Charles Darwin, William James, Carl Jung, and contemporary thinkers like Nate Zinsser, Jordan Peterson, Iain McGilchrist, and J.K. Rowling, McLaughlin lays out his twenty-year journey from resident to master neurosurgeon. The payoff of his odyssey is as life-changing as it is thrilling.

COGNITIVE DOMINANCE: Enhanced situational awareness that facilitates rapid and accurate decision-making under stressful conditions with limited decision-making time.
