 Not worth 5 stars but it is worth buying May 20, 2008
It has some good philosphy and exercises to help you improve. It is not going to turn you into a virtuoso if you are an amateur, you have to practice and apply the principals. Most of it is commom sense, so if you totally lacked common sense you might be inclined to give it 5 stars. Probably good read for most levels of musicians excercises. A little pricy even with the discount.

Similar concepts of Gallaways other books ( I have read them all) with a good musical propective. I recommend it to musicians especially if they perform.
 Probably the best Inner Game book January 10, 2007
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I've read 'The Inner Game of Tennis' which was great. Years later I read 'The Inner game of work' which I found a little harder to bring into practice. The great thing about this book is that Barry Green, a musician himself, rewrites the whole Inner Game from his standpoint as a musician. This makes it really 1 + 1 = 3.
It's full of exersizes, very practical.
 Reads like a book report February 7, 2006

I've read this book twice now, and while I've gotten useful tips out of it, it really does read like a book report of the Inner Game of Tennis, frequently using phrases like 'Gallwey refers to...' and 'Gallwey says'. So I read the Inner Game of Tennis and found that I could have garnered much the same insights from this book without the added and sometimes confusing editorializing by Mr. Green. (And some of Green's additions just complicate things by giving your 'self 1' additional ammunition that it may not have thought of yet.)
All in all a useful book, but to do it over again, I'd skip it and go straight to the Inner Game of Tennis.
Musician or Not this book is Invaluable February 2, 2006
10 out of 14 found this review helpful
As a professional musician and a teacher at a university this book has been worth its weight in gold. It will help you address anxiety, help you organize your life, and help you accomplish anything you want regardless of whether that goal is musical or not. By using Barry Green's tools to practice and perfect a musical piece I have eliminated inefficient practice time and have finished huge research projects. After learning these methods, a person cannot help but to transfer it to the rest of their lives. I cannot say enough about how useful it is. The best way I can explain the great value of this book is is to tell you I can't hold on to a copy for very long. I loan it to either a colleague or a student and it is never returned. It's not that they just forget to return it. Usually, they "fall in love" with it just like I have and can't bear to give it back. With any other book I would be sure to request its return, but with this particular one I feel like I am giving a great gift. The Mastery of Music is also a fascinating book. Check out Barry Green's website, too. You won't be disappointed.
