“喬治幫助我理解了正念的藝術：既不分心也不專注，既不僵化也不靈活，既不被動也不主動。我學會的只是 「存在」而已”。── 科比‧布萊恩，五屆 NBA 總冠軍
曾幫助喬丹和柯比等超級籃球明星改變職業生涯的世界知名心理學家和正念專家，為讀者提供了行之有效的策略來釋放我們的先天優勢、避免倦怠，並發現持久的成功。
我們都在努力尋找“心流”(flow)，當我們的技能、專業知識和思維方式保持一致時，我們就能毫無阻礙地發揮最高水準。喬治·芒福德(George Mumford)稱之為“解鎖”(unlocked)——任何人在任何時候都可以達到的狀態。作為一名接受過正念領域培訓的心理學家和個人發展專家，芒福德擁有數十年的豐富經驗，幫助各式各樣的人——從首席執行官和NBA巨星，到長期得不到充分代表的人、無家可歸的人和成癮患者——去應對生活中固有的挑戰和機遇。現在，在這本改變人生的指南中，他與我們所有人分享他的智慧，無論我們的背景或社會經濟地位如何，他都能出色地引導我們走上發現和發揮個人潛能的道路。
“人們稱我為「低語表演者」” ，芒福德寫道。“我哄人、逗人。我對我們內心頑固、反對成長、拒絕打破舊習慣的部分「低語」。”想要解鎖內在的偉大，我們必須敲開那層外殼，才能去探尋裡面的東西。這可能是一個艱難而痛苦的過程，就像表現訓練拉伸我們的身體和耐力的極限一樣。我與運動員、囚犯、教師、大學管理人員、商人和其他人一起進行的心理訓練也有類似的方面。它把我們從熟悉的事物中解脫出來，讓我們接觸到自己更深層次的地方。
《解鎖》充滿了切實的見解、意想不到的古老智慧，以及來自他的客戶和他自己生活的鼓舞人心的故事——從他最黑暗的成癮過往和內心動盪的時刻，到訓練世界上最優秀的運動員——《解鎖》是芒福德畢生心血的結晶，它幫助我們發現自己的天賦。無論比賽或風險如何，都能保持成功。讓我們發揮內在的力量，擁抱解鎖的自由。
