Jim Murphy sold more than half of his belongings, including his television, and relocated to Arizona’s Sonoran Desert in 2003. To ensure that he genuinely lived when it came time for him to pass away, he chose to live a life of relative seclusion. The book Inner Excellence is the result of thousands of hours of writing and research (McGraw-Hill, 2009).

He made the startling finding that the heart is the secret to exceptional performance under duress while speaking with more than fifty sport psychologists and Olympic and professional trainers. Furthermore, developing your heart is the first step in achieving all of your goals, including inner strength, love, joy, and peace; wonderful relationships; spectacular experiences; and a profoundly meaningful existence, as per Jim Murphy.

While in the desert, “I began researching the answer to this question: “How can an Olympic athlete train for four years, for an event that may last less than 60 seconds, and perform with complete peace and confidence?” The next five years were spent in full-time research and writing (post Master’s degree), 60-80 hours a week (or more) to answer that question.

“The first version of the Inner Excellence book came out in 2009. After 9 years, I realized I had a lot more stories to share and things I learned. So I spent two more years working on a revised edition, which was released in April, 2020,” as per Jim Murphy’s site.

Without a doubt, one of the most effective training programs in the world is Inner Excellence. Most Inner Excellence clients, whether they are teams or individuals in any sport, report that their first year with Inner Excellence was the finest year of their careers, or at least the last five years.

Although the advice in Inner Excellence is applicable to anybody, Murphy, a performance coach and former Chicago Cubs minor league baseball player with him being an outfeilder, authored the book with athletes in mind.

“It’s an honour that anyone would include me in their life, but I think the greatest gift that anyone can have is wisdom to know who God is there for, who you are, what he’s doing in the world and how you can join in, and how you can live a life where you feel fully alive,” the author said.
