Customer Reviews

Ethics and self-esteem made simple

I stumbled on this book over fifteen years ago while substitue teaching, and have been quoting from it, and looking for a copy, ever since. Like all good 'children's' books, WINNERS AND LOSERS is written as much for the parent as for the child. A wonderful introduction to ethical decision making, WINNERS AND LOSERS would be my choice as the primer for a course in the works of Confucius and Philip Paul Hallie.

Simple But Stinging

This book effectively identifies the attitudes attributable to winners and losers in very, very simple and straightforward phrases. It makes you self-introspect to improving your outlook in life all the more. I got mine many years ago and never got it back when lent to a friend. Am eagerly awaiting reprint of the book and will order quite a number as fitting gifts to friends and loved ones.

Valuable words to live by for both Business & Personal life

The first time I encountered this book was in high school (1983) and a friend's father loaned it to me. A MILLION THANKS TO YOU MR. MESTON! I was so moved by this book that I have committed many of its words to memory, and have recommended it to probably hundreds of other people. Many times since then I have asked myself in certain situations, "Am I a winner, or a loser?" So, are YOU a "Winner" or a "Loser"? Read the book and find out.

This is a delightful little book about life.

I obtained my copy of Winner's and Losers when I went off to college. Years later, and after several moves and job changes, I have held on to my copy. This well-worn book is chock full of useful and quotable messages that apply in many personal and business settings. This is one of the valuable little books that you or a friend will treasure. I planned to purchase a couple of copies of Winners and Losers today. Please reprint as soon as possible.

a very profound, easy to read book for all ages 6 to 160

The book illustrates with clear phrases and illustrations the differences between winners and losers. Some of my favorite quotations come from this book and I morn the fact that my last copy was lent and never returned. Some illustrations of favorite quotes: "Winners focus, losers spray" "A winner speaks until he makes his point, a loser keeps talking until he blunts his point." (caviat: quoted from a possibly defective memory) -bz- P.S. PLEASE reprint!
