Flow psychology, or being in the zone, is a mental state in which one who is performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and joy. It is through flow psychology that Gerrard introduces a blend of holistic mindset combined with a competitive edge, which is essential to successful professional driving. This mix of guts, tenacity and endurance is the foundation of Gerrard's philosophy for attaining greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you should read \u003cem\u003eOptimum Drive\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis book is not just about learning how to drive race cars.
