Congratulations on your ‘work of art’. I have ordered 5 copies of your book on Amazon - one for each of my sons! More people need to read this. You are a wonderful writer and certainly have a way of getting your message across.” - N.P.

“A High Performing Mind is a really great resource for anyone who is looking for actionable ways to meet their goals. For me, the most helpful parts of AHPM are when Andrew describes how to overcome the common ways that we self-sabotage on the path to success. The book includes stories from Andrew’s personal and professional experience that show how his strategies have worked IRL and also make the book a really fun read. I’ve read quite a few business and self-help books and AHPM sets itself apart because its guidance is easy to understand and apply in your own life. I’d recommend reading this book and think it would make a great gift for anyone in your life, especially new grads, athletes, entrepreneurs… 5 stars and excited for Andrew Thompson’s next book!” - S.W.
