On Form

In this insightful book, former England cricket captain and psychoanalyst Mike Brearley explores the elusive concept of being "on form" across various disciplines, including sports, music, medicine, and more. Drawing from his own experiences and broader observations, he examines the mental states that contribute to peak performance and the challenges of maintaining it. With a focus on understanding and managing different tensions, Brearley offers a thoughtful exploration of what it takes to stay in and recover from moments of lost form.
