Download or read book Mind is the Ride written by Jet McDonald and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jet McDonald cycled four thousand miles to India and back, he didn’t want to write a straightforward account. He wanted to go on an imaginative journey. The age of the travelogue is over: today we need to travel inwardly to see the world with fresh eyes. Mind is the Ride is that journey, a pedal-powered antidote to the petrol-driven philosophies of the past. The book takes the reader on a physical and intellectual adventure from West to East using the components of the bike as a metaphor for philosophy, which is woven into the cyclist's experience. Each chapter is based around a single component, and as Jet travels he adds new parts and new philosophies until the bike is 'built'; the ride to India is completed; and the relationship between mind, body and bicycle made apparent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would anyone want to do something as dangerous as motorcycling? For those who love to ride, no explanation is necessary. For everyone else, there’s Why We Ride. Designed as both an explanation for outsiders and an anthem for those within the fold, this new book presents the insights of Mark Barnes, PhD, a motorcycling clinical psychologist. As a popular columnist at Motorcycle Consumer News for more than 20 years, Dr. Barnes articulates the elusive physical, emotional, and interpersonal elements that make the world of the motorcyclist such a rich and exciting place.

Heartfelt and thought provoking, here is a straightforward account of what makes real motorcyclists tick. Inside Why We Ride: What makes all the hazards and hardships of riding a motorcycle worthwhile to perfectly sane, intelligent, and responsible individuals Insights from clinical psychologist and moto-journalist Dr. Mark Barnes Examination of the complex gratifications, relentlessly compelling passions, and deeply personal experiences that motivate motorcyclists Sports psychology, psychoanalysis of common riding experiences, and reflections on the author’s personal journey as a rider Results of the author’s own empirical research on the motives of motorcyclists Thought-provoking exploration of the human dimension of motorcycling Special section on how riders achieve the quasi-mystical state of “Flow,” a concept currently at the center of modern sports psychology

Download or read book Ride with Your Mind Essentials written by Mary Wanless and published by . This book was released on 2006-02-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst the horse world is rich in descriptions that tell us what horse and rider should look like, we lack good information about exactly "how" to produce the desired results. Good horsemen ride well without knowing how they do it, and without understanding why you are not like them and cannot do it too. During 23 years of research it has been Mary Wanless's personal mission to expose the secrets of horsemanship, breaking down riding skills into "bite-size chunks" and finding ways of describing them that work for average riders. By using the learning strategies given here the rider should discover how to connect with the horse in a way that makes sense to him and enables him to carry himself well, in self-carriage. At the same time the techniques aim to offer the rider security, stability and effectiveness in the saddle. This title sets out to simplify "Ride With Your Mind" methods and to provide a basic tool-kit for the acquisition of a truly independent seat in walk, trot and through transitions, on straight lines, turns and circles - and, importantly, how to make corrections when things don't go exactly to plan. Mary explains how to use the hands, legs and body correctly, and gives the ingredients for perfect contact. In each section, the instruction is backed up by practical self-tests and exercises to ensure success, and there are ideas for troubleshooting during the learning process and in the future.

Download or read book The Mental Cyclist written by Kyle MacRae and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mental Cyclist will change the way you think about your cycling, and yourself, so you can do more on your bike. Your mind is smart. It knows you inside out. But sometimes it tells you stories. Negative stories that shatter your self-confidence. Then, when you think about doing something challenging, something you'd love to do, your mind goes: nope. The stories aren't real. But they feel real. So they limit your ambitions. Affect your performance. Spoil your fun. The Mental Cyclist will help you see these stories for what they really are - and demolish the psychological barriers that hold you back. Rationally. Mindfully. Permanently. Change your mind. Change your ride. As you break free from the barriers, you'll learn how to make your mind work for you, not against you. You'll design the cyclist you really want to be, and commit to your personal Mental Cyclist Challenge - an ultimate personal cycling challenge that takes you well beyond your current comfort zone. 300 pages of fully accessible learning 12-stage Mental Cyclist Manifesto - practical mind training for cyclists 30 powerful journal exercises for developing deep self-expertise 12-week planner for tracking emotional progress towards your Mental Cyclist Challenge Becoming a Mental Cyclist is not about pushing your body through the pain barrier and achieving superhuman feats in the saddle. Nor is about changing your personality, or balancing your chakras, or asking the universe to magically make your life better. It's much more powerful than that. More than a marginal gain. It's about getting to know yourself better so you can do anything you want to do. The Mental Cyclist Manifesto At the heart of The Mental Cyclist is this 12-stage practical exploration of what's really going on inside your head when you ride. The text provides the learning, and the user exercises help you build expertise in yourself. You complete the exercises journal-style within the book as you go along. When you understand what holds you back and what drives you forward, you'll learn how to change your mind to change your ride. STAGE 1 - SUPERCHARGE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM STAGE 2 - SUSTAIN YOUR SUPERPOWER STAGE 3 - MAXIMISE YOUR MOTIVATION STAGE 4 - FEEL THE FUN STAGE 5 - SQUASH SELF-CRITICISM STAGE 6 - BIN THOSE LIMITING BELIEFS STAGE 7 - SHAKE OFF THE STRESS STAGE 8 - THWART THE THREATS STAGE 9 - DESIGN YOUR DEFENCES STAGE 10 - FIND YOUR FLOW STAGE 11 - ESCALATE YOUR EXPERTISE STAGE 12 - COMMIT TO YOUR CHALLENGE Your Mental Cyclist Challenge Why a challenge? Because a challenge is a goal, and goals keep life interesting. They motivate us to get off our butts and go do cool stuff. Your comfort zone is the mental equivalent of an easy ride. It's pleasant enough but it's well within your capability. If your comfort zone was a colour, it would be beige. The colour least likely to excite or delight, to stir your loins or set your heart on fire. Your Mental Cyclist Challenge will be something that does set your heart on fire. Something that motivates you to push beyond your comfort zone. Something that makes you think you might fail (but you won't). Something you know you'd really, really love to do (and you will). The Mental Cyclist will help you design the ultimate personal challenge for you, and then plan your milestones and goals, and finally monitor your progress in a 12-week tracker. The Mental Cyclist is designed for recreational cyclists of every age, ability and ambition.
