Seeing the Sunrise Kindle Edition
This is more than just a sports book, although the author is an accomplished Test cricketer. Justin Langer was a member of one of Australia's greatest sporting teams for nearly a decade - but the messages of Seeing the Sunrise go far beyond the boundary rope. Many of the book's stories come from the sporting field - and its leading characters are high-profile champions, such as Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden - but the lessons learned can be shared by all of us.
Seeing the Sunrise is a handbook for overcoming self-doubt, for revelling in success, for aiming high. It is about mastering physical and mental goals, enjoying victories and fighting adversity. Finding the mental strength to cope with pressure and fear has been one of Justin's greatest lessons and in Seeing the Sunrise he encourages us to look at the sunrise, not the ground below.

A surpringly brilliant self-help book from an unlikely source.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2013Verified Purchase
Many memoirs and autobiographies of great sports stars can also be wonderful books of self-improvement. But how many sports stars have written books that are explicitly about sharing the tools that made them successful? This is why 'Seeing The Sunrise' is a lovely surprise. Justin Langer has been one of the greatest batsmen during the last golden age of Australian cricket. His tenacious approach was the foundation of his success. Now, in this book, Langer goes in to detail about the mindset of a great champion.
The book is divided in to 31 short chapters. And they begin with a quote from other inspiring figures such as Henry Ford, Gandhi, and Greg Chappel. And Langer has many insightful things to say on subjects such as self-talk, mental toughness, critics, and constant improvement. Most of these chapters are peppered with Langer's own experiences. On the chapter titled 'Mental Toughness', Langer goes in to detail about the influence of Steve Waugh, one of Australia's cricket gods.
Not every elite tennis player, cricketer, or soccer star is going to write a self-improvement book such as 'Seeing The Sunrise.' Justin Langer puts the reader before his ego. It is about helping others through what he learned as an elite sportsman. Not all of us have to be a professional sports person to get a lot from this book. If you were under 18 with dreams of sporting glory, I urge you to make this book one of your bibles. If you were someone who loves the work of Anthony Robbins or Paul McKenna, then 'Seeing The Sunrise' will give you so much inspiration.

A great motivational book
Reviewed in the United States on 25 August 2010Verified Purchase
Seeing the Sunrise by Justin Langer is one of the most motivational books I have ever read. I love the quotes at the start of each chapter. Seeing the Sunrise is so inspirational that it makes you want to better yourself and to reach for your dreams. After reading how Justin Langer overcame the challenges in his life to become part of Australia's most successful opening partnership encourages you to reach for the sky and helps you to believe that anything is possible. One of the best books I have read and can't wait to read future books from this legend.
