YELLOW GLOWING HAMSTERS: Your Peak Performance Mindset Model Most stress management assumes all pressure is the same. It’s not. That exhaustion you feel after closing the biggest deal of your career? The snap at your spouse when you should be celebrating? The mental fog that hits right when you need clarity most? It's not burnout. It's not just "stress." And the generic advice - meditate, journal, breathe, harder exercise, get sleep - keeps missing the target. Here's why: You don't have one stress problem. You have three different mental systems competing for recovery—and you've been feeding the wrong one. This book introduces a deceptively simple framework that elite performers use to manage pressure in real-time. A diagnostic system that tells you exactly what's broken and how to fix it—in minutes, not months. What's inside: A complete system for understanding how your mind actually operates under pressure—and why your best thinking disappears exactly when you need it most. Crisis protocols for the twelve situations that derail executive performance: from "My right-hand person is leaving" to "The media are trying to destroy me." The Five S Diagnostic System for catching problems before they become crises. The GLO-SLO-FLO framework that championship environments use to maintain peak performance across extended high-pressure periods. This book is for executives who: Make high-stakes decisions when exhausted - Need their best thinking available on demand - Want strategic recovery, not random self-care - Are tired of stress management advice that doesn't account for how leaders actually work No, you won't need to buy a hamster. But you will understand why some leaders thrive under pressure while others break—and which one you're going to be. Stay in the yellow.
