Hello, is A Mind For Pool the best book out there or would you guys recommend a different book for someone interested in improving the mental part of their game?
 
I don't know about mind for pool, but there is a book with tennis in the title that a lot of the pool pros rave about, both men and women. Someone help me with the title please. Johnnyt

The Inner Game of Tennis is a classic in sports psychology. The Pleasures of Small Motions is another good book on the mental game of pool.

Edit: Looks like my typing is too slow.
 
I once found a book called Combat Golf. Quite a bit of that translated nicely over to pool.
Really helped with the mental side and toughness of the game

Sounds like a good read, it is available on Barnes and Noble by some vendors, I just ordered one. Thanks

BTW, to the OP, while I think Pleasures of Small Motions is a "must read" book for any pool player, The Inner Game of Tennis is the bomb. :)
 
"Best Mental Book for the Game?"

Where's SFleinen when you need him?

There's a good joke in there somewhere but I'm too stupid to find it.

Are mental books the next technological breakthrough for the written word? First, we had stone tablets. Then came the scrolls. Then we had bound works, in both the hard and soft varieties. Lastly, came the E Book. None of those were good enough -- so now we have Mental Books. You don't even have to read them. You just upload them to your brain.

My favorite book on the mental side of the game is The Pleasures of Small Motions. Mine is just the softback version.
 
Zen in the Art of Archery' is the best book

'Zen in the Art of Archery' is the best book that can be related to the mental side of pool.....I've read it 7 times now and may read it again sometime soon.
