Dr. Waitley's best book to date!

Having enjoyed better than average success as an athlete, in fact, competing in national and international competitions, I have always felt that it takes work and effort for even the naturally gifted to become winners. In the New Dynamics of Winning, you will learn:> 7 rules for winners<br>> 5 most prevalent self destructive beliefs<br>> The secret of mental toughness<br>> How to use stress to your advantage<br>> A 21 day program to develop the champions mindset<br>> And so much more<p>I also recommend Empires of the Mind, a book which came out about the same time as this one. Both are revolutionary.<p>I have been studying Dr. Denis Waitley for many years. In Empires of the Mind, he finds the difference between the winner and simply winning. <p>This book will empower you towards self leadership. Although written in the early 90's, his ideas are as fresh and applicable today as they were almost a decade ago. In fact, m any of the newer leadership books borrow tremendously from the ideas developed by Dr. Waitley and explained in Empires of the mind.Great book.

definitely a step in the right direction

As the world changes rapidly around us, Denis Waitley recommends, among others, a good old fashioned remedy: "Write your ideas on paper. Then review them frequently."For years I've been looking for a one-stop-shopping technique for tying together goals, plans, personal philosophy. This book offers "flextactics," which are almost the answer for me. Not quite, though.I really like the encouragement Mr. Waitley provides. The book is worthwhile for that reason alone. I also like his step-by-step flextactics instructions - in theory, at least. But I found that I could not get past even the first day's exercise. He suggests identifying your all consuming, driving life's purpose. Subsequent days' exercises build upon that life's purpose. I'm one of those people who can't quite identify the long term purpose, but who has plenty of energy in the short term, and even medium term.I eventually gave up and just fell back to the simple technique of writing, writing, writing, and occasionally regrouping and rewriting. This process in itself has been remarkably useful.So I guess you could say I exercised some of the book's core principles. I will revisit this book a year or two from now.

Flexible is the watchword for goal setting in today's arena.

Flextactics sounds like the perfect plan for our ever changing world. First copyrighted in 1993, this work takes the cookie cutter pieces of self help and puts a flexible spin on them that makes them more pliable and useful in this spin-on-a-dime changing society. The fact that most of the new jobs ten years from now probably haven't been invented yet, makes this a timely and insightful look into goal setting and coping with change.
