About the Author
Arno Ilgner, founder of the Desiderata Institute, formalized his methods in 1995 after extensive research in the field of mental training and great warrior traditions. Since then, he has helped hundreds of students refine their awareness, focus their attention, and understand their sporting (and life) challenges within a coherent philosophy based on learning smart risk-taking. Ilgner considers that joy and satisfaction in effort - the "journey" - are intimately linked to the successful achievement of goals, the "destination."
