BEYOND THE ZONE"A book 'out of this world'"There are only three sports: bullfighting, mountain climbing and motor racing; all the rest are merely games."- Ernest Hemingway"Grand Prix racing is primarily a mental contest... it's a battle of strength of wills by the combatants and a magnificent contest, the arena to display and share unique gifts and talents. Perhaps in this 'theatre of speed', F1 is a metaphor for life itself"- craigThe world's fastest drivers, the greatest Grand Prix drivers of our day reveal the magic of motor racing at the limit... and beyond.."Even the greatest champion of them all, Ayrton Senna admitted there was something greater than he was. "If a man is called to be a street-sweeper,he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,or Beethoven composed music,or Shakespeare wrote poetry.He should sweep streets so well,that all the hosts of heaven will pause to say,here lived a great street sweeperwho did his job well."- Dr Martin Luther King, Jr "When you're writing there are times when you feel it's a bit of a struggle. However, at other times you're in what is called 'the zone' and writing just feels effortless. This happens when finding the right words is no longer a struggle; but this heightened state, as with most crafts usually comes with practice. Then words simply flow into your head faster than you can write them down (or can press the keyboard). But you have to really push your writing limits to get this kind of experience. "Then later you look what you've written and think: "Bloody hell. That's good. Did I really write that seemingly without much effort? Wonder where all that came from (a cerebral thing or "outer space"!"- A "nony-moose" writer (as inspired by Overdrive: Formula One in the Zonewww.overdrivef1.com"People talk about the Zone as a very outward thing, but it's not. It's very spiritual. To me, the Zone is when you're operating at the intuitive level;. You're not thinking about it, so it happens naturally. You're at the top of your job. You've got your emotions controlled, your energy is channelled and you're just doing it. That's the Zone. You're just doing it."- British and European touring car champion driver, Andy Priax"The driver is expected to explore the inner places of his desire by taking everything to this limit...to translate it into a sublime peak only he can reach; but the trouble is they're all doing it.... on a narrow ribbon of track, together."- fine writing by Christopher Hilton in his interesting book Inside the Mind of a Grand Prix Driver) #The submitter is presently "working on" a new book 'BEYOND THE ZONE'. This e-book follows on from my e-books Racing (and Writing?) in the Zone and God and Formula Onehttp://www.amazon.com/GOD-AND-FORMULA-ONE-ebook/dp/B005Z6BFX0He'll keep adding to it, as he "researches and explores the last unexplored frontier, the human mind", then upload to Amazon, AS he writes and further develops these ideas and concepts. It's "a true labour of love" sitting in the hot New Zealand sun and writing about God and Formula One. Pure paradise/sheer bliss!Enjoy and dream on... # "When you're writing there are times when you feel it's a bit of a struggle.
