Many people have dreams they would like to realise and aspects of their lives they would like to change. However, relatively few people have the mental strength needed to break outside their comfort zone and take the steps required to change their lot in life and make their dreams a reality.

Fear, self-doubt, lack of confidence, or simply being overawed by the tasks ahead can make many people shrink back from realising their true potential. Feeling unable to progress, they retreat to the smothering comfort of the familiar and the everyday. This book explains how to develop a mind strong enough to push past all obstacles so that nothing will be able to stand between you and your goals.

This inspiring book details how you can develop your mental strength and face up to daunting situations in a way that makes all negative thoughts, and all obstacles encountered, into a positive force that will make you stronger, develop your skills and abilities, and propel you towards the goals you have set for yourself.

Mental Strength gives clear, encouraging guidance on how to develop a strong and powerful mind, grow your talents, become the person you want to be, and live the life you want to live.

Reviews of Mental Strength

"I Love the book. One of the best I have read on mind training in years. I highly recommend it."

Geoff Thompson, BAFTA Winner and Renowned Self-Protection Expert

"Your new book 'Mental Strength' is one of the best books I have ever read and I literally can not put it down. I am an avid reader and have read hundreds of books. Mental Strength is without question a book that I will read over and over" - Philip Ameris, USA

"Iain has taken the drive, resolve and motivation that has pushed him to the highest echelons of achievement in martial arts and effortlessly and accessibly combined them into a self-help book with a difference. 'Mental Strength' offers guidance, advice and most importantly Iain's unfailingly positive approach to achievement. It is sure to inspire anybody lucky enough to read it and is a totally unique offering in a quagmire of over-psyched, 'fluffy' self-help titles." - N. Atkinson, UK

"Mental Strength is not some dreary self-help book, but rather an energy-filled, highly motivating text which tells you, in plain and simple terms, how to best condition ourselves to achieve our goals. The book is smart, and often humorous and entertaining. Be warned: It will take you a while to read - not because it is so long, but because after you read each chapter, you're going to jump out of your seat and start implementing what Mr. Abernethy is talking about!"- Marc Paolella, Switzerland

"I've now read the book from cover to cover, and I offer my congratulations on an excellent piece of work. I will definitely be using the ideas myself and recommending it to my students" - Gary Chamberlain, UK

"While most of us know that mental strength can be developed in the same manner as physical strength, very few of us really know how to go about doing it save by serendipitous discovery. Based on his considerable success as a martial artist and author, Iain Abernethy lays out a step-by-step methodology for overcoming doubt, building self-confidence, and achieving your dreams. Nothing in this book is rocket science yet his codification of a straightforward, understandable, and implementable process is nothing short of brilliant. As I read through his excellent tome I found myself thinking, "Yeah, that is how I did that" several times. Without knowing it, I've followed his process in achieving most of my major successes in my life, stuff like earning a blackbelt in karate, publishing two books, gaining promotions at work, and building strong relationships at home. Abernethy's clear, encouraging guidance will show you how to develop a strong, powerful mind, grow your talents, become the person you want to be, and live the life you want to live too. This information is extremely well laid out, masterfully written, and most importantly, it works. Very highly recommended." - Lawrence Kane, Author of 'The Way of Kata' and 'Martial Arts Instruction', USA

"The other day my wife and I were walking around the shopping center that we usually frequent, and I was very fortunate to have browsed through, and subsequently bought your book, Mental Strength. The insight/s that I have received from this book alone has really filled in the gaps for me with regards to becoming stronger person mentally and I must say the simplicity with which this book has been presented was awesome! Even a complete beginner who is set on dedicating him/herself to become the best that they can be will find this book to be both "friendly" and inspiring in a very unique way. Thank you very much for sharing in your insights - I have and will continue to benefit from this work." - Robert Ciapparelli, South Africa
