About Beyond The Content
Product Description Learn how to tackle the hardest parts of taking a test—stress, anxiety, self-doubt—with Beyond the Content. In this quick read, you'll learn how mindfulness can help you conquer the voices in your head, study better, and approach the test with confidence. Most test prep books, textbooks, and classes miss the mark by only focusing on strategy and content. This essential guide tackles the other half of test prep: mindfulness and your mental performance. Mindfulness is widely embraced in the business and athletic communities as a valuable technique to optimize performance. Author Logan Thompson, an expert in both test prep and mindfulness, says that it's about time the test prep community embraces it as well. In the book, Thompson explains, "The other half of test prep is the world of fleeting thoughts and emotions, always flickering, always murmuring inside your head, usually going unnoticed and unremarked upon. They shape our perceptions and perspectives. And, they dictate our performance on tests. The other half of test prep is happening all the time, whether we like it or not. Your mental and emotional state, your surfacing memories, your underlying beliefs are always there. The good news is that, by acknowledging the other half of test prep, exploring it, and working with it, you can gain access to your full potential." Review "A must read for those prepping for standardized tests. In Beyond the Content, Logan Thompson offers practical advice to remove stress from the test taking experience and actionable tips for achieving peak performance for test day and beyond." - John Polstein, CEO Kaplan Test Prep . "In a lively, down-to-earth and engaging fashion, Thompson explains how our busy minds and upset feelings can sabotage our success--and how mindfulness and self-compassion can help save the day. A must read for test-takers, and for others seeking to improve their performance under pressure." - Jerome T. Murphy, Dean Emeritus, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Author of Dancing in the Rain: Leading with Compassion, Vitality, and Mindfulness in Education . "Drawing on transformational teachings of mindfulness and cognitive psychology, Logan Thompson offers students a powerful guide for diminishing anxiety and bringing their best resources to test-taking. Lucid, good-humored and totally accessible, Thompson's book will help anyone seeking to cultivate genuine confidence, clarity and focus in approaching standardized testing." - Tara Brach, Ph.D, Author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge . "None of us is immune to stress and the mind's propensity to lose focus and attach itself to a myriad of arising thoughts and distractions. Thus, anyone can benefit from the teaching offered here." - Sharon Salzberg, Author of Lovingkindness and Real Love "In an inviting and warm manner Thompson illustrates compelling examples and concrete practices of mindfulness and self-compassion. Unleash your capabilities, read this book!" - Timothy J. Vogus, Brownlee O. Currey, Jr. Professor of Management, Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management About the Author Logan Thompson was born and raised in Nashville, TN. After earning his MBA from Vanderbilt University, Logan pursued his passion for mindfulness by moving to a meditation center, where he lived and practiced for over two years. He then began teaching test prep for Manhattan Prep (he has a 99th percentile score on the SAT®, GMAT® and GRE®), where he still teaches. He is also an adjunct professor of mindfulness at Endicott College and a Master's student at Harvard University, studying Human Development and Psychology.
