In 1995 I was working on a number of books, including a heckler book, a book on marketing strategy and one on performance skills.
I was busy working on ships and around the world and so these books were shelved a number of times and at some points looked like they would never be published, however over the last couple of years, and through many changes and rewrites most have been finished and released.
The Jedi Philosophy has changed many times over the years, and at one point it had a place in the book Parabellum, a comprehensive analysis of hecklers, but as I wrote the different elements of the chapter it grew and grew until I deemed it too large, or important, to just be a single chapter in one specific book.
This book was released as a stand alone but when I was rewriting the chapters for this book I decided I would include it as the final chapter.
The whole book did eventually end up as the last chapter of the book "Maxims Primer"
It goes without saying that I am a huge star wars fan, in fact I love most sci-fi / fantasy related material, from space battles to dragons, it is deep within our imaginations that true genius lies.
You may not be a fan of Star Wars, and that is fine, however do not overlook the importance of what is written inside these pages, or presume that they could not be of interest or assistance to you.
I should add that I love movies and audiobooks and like to have some background noise when writing,
As I was writing, I was also listening to a Star Wars audiobook playing in the background.
Obi Wan Kenobi was teaching a young Anakin Skywalker on the etiquette and learnings of the Jedi, and it struck me that these skills and lessons ran parallel to what I was writing.
I started mapping out the different sections and so this book started to form and take shape.
The more I looked at these sections, the more similarities to performance I found, from calmness and confidence in your actions to mental discipline and combat ability.
Overlay the following pages over your own performance style and see if you can be a better performer.
Are you ready to be a Jedi?
