Life Is Not a Game of Perfect by renowned sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella is a masterclass in the mental side of golf — and life.
Drawing from his experience working with top PGA players, Rotella explores how attitude, focus, and self-belief can make or break your performance on the green. With warmth, humor, and wisdom, he shows readers how to let go of perfectionism, embrace the present, and trust their natural ability.
More than just a golf manual, this book is a guide to performing under pressure, developing resilience, and finding joy in the process rather than obsessing over results. A timeless read for athletes, professionals, and anyone striving for excellence without losing perspective.
