Embrace Your Greatness, Find the Flow, Discover Success

Publisher's summary

A world-renowned psychologist and mindfulness performance expert who has helped superstars such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant transform their careers, offers proven strategies for unleashing our innate strengths, avoiding burnout, and discovering enduring success.

We all strive to find flow, when our skills, expertise, and mindset are aligned and we can perform, unimpeded, at the highest level. George Mumford calls this being “unlocked”—a state anyone can achieve at any time. A psychologist trained in the field of mindfulness and personal development expert, Mumford has decades of experience helping a wide range of individuals—from CEOs and NBA superstars to the chronically underrepresented, those experiencing homeless and fighting addiction—contend with the challenges and opportunities inherent in life. Now, in this life-changing guide, he shares his wisdom with all of us, no matter our background or socioeconomic status, brilliantly guiding us on a path to discovering and harnessing our own individual potential.

“People have called me the ‘performance whisperer,’” Mumford writes. “I coax and tease. I ‘whisper’ to the stubborn, oppositional part of us that resists growth, that refuses to break old habits. To unlock the greatness within, we have to crack that shell to access what’s underneath. It can be a difficult, painful process, much the way performance-training stretches our body and the limits of our endurance. The mental training, I do with athletes, prisoners, teachers, college administrators, businesspeople and others has a similar aspect. It shakes us out of the familiar and puts us in touch with deeper aspects of ourselves.”

Chock full of tangible insights, unexpected ancient wisdom, and inspiring stories from his clients and his own life—from his darkest moments of addiction and inner turmoil to training some of the best athletes in the world—Unlocked is the culmination of Mumford’s life’s work; it helps us discover our gifts. To sustain success no matter the game or the stakes. To step into the power within us and embrace the freedom of being unlocked.

great book

George Mumford presents a humble and inspiring message about finding greatness through simple flow, mindfulness, and personal authenticity.

A Required Book for Living

This book is a gift - a guide to navigating life as an imperfect human in an imperfect world that is empowering to everyone that reads it. Hearing George read it himself makes it even better.

Unlocked! A Modern Masterpiece of Flow.

Absolutely love this audiobook. It feels like being in the room with George as he masterfully shares his wisdom.

A book about unlocking the best of yourself and so much more. He covers a lot of ground in this one. Flow state, Jordan, addiction, wisdom, Kobe, courage, Dr. J, love, and simply being to name a few.

All woven together in a beautifully powerful and vulnerable way. Unlocked is a modern masterpiece.

Inspiring and full of wisdom

George’s story and triumph over adversity are an inspiration. His teachings are lessons I will continue to come back to over and over. Highly recommend this book.

Love this!

Amazing message. I love that George narrated his own book. He mentioned doing this on the Ten Percent Happier Podcast and I was looking forward to it. For me, the book was even better read by George. Thank you !

George’s books should be required reading for everyone

George is the best. This entire book and his previous are well worth your time and will help you along your path.

Great info - needs a professional narrator.

George, pls have a professional narrator narrate your audiobook. It’s difficult to receive your meaningful lessons the way it is narrated. (Stiff, obviously reading - sorry no offense! Just trying to help)

I’ll listen to this a few times.

As with George Mumford’s previous book, The Mindful Athlete, I have Unlocked on repeat so I don’t miss any of the many lessons.

Great book

Listened to this back to back. Highly recommend. Great add to my collection. Will listen again.
