From Publishers Weekly
Lecturer and former head of the mental training program of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Sports Medicine Council, Waitley here applies his theories for athletic success to business and personal life. In this upbeat, pragmatic guide, he outlines a program for tapping one's inner resources and abilities to achieve "more than you or anyone else thought possible." Citing examples drawn from sport and business, he recommends breaking down major goals into 90-day-long mini-goals, which can also be divided into subgoals. Offering advice on preventive physical and mental health care, he emphasizes such stress-reducing, confidence-building techniques as positive "self talk," short statements of praise and advice for repeating during moments of pressure. He concludes with a 21-day plan for establishing and accomplishing specific personal goals.

From Library Journal
Waitley, head of the mental training program for the U.S. Olympic Committee's Sports Medicine Council in the early Eighties, is a well-known motivational speaker and author of the audio program The Psychology of Winning and the bestselling book Seeds of Greatness. This work applies what he learned from the high performance of Olympic champions to the workings of the business world. Chapter titles include "The Drive to Win," "Visualization of Victory," and "The Olympian Within." His approach is similar to that of many works on the market using military, historical, and animal metaphors to help people improve their business skills. Recommended for large popular business collections.

Customer Reviews

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
> 5 most prevalent self destructive beliefs
> The secret of mental toughness
> How to use stress to your advantage
> A 21 day program to develop the champions mindset
> And so much more

I also recommend Empires of the Mind, a book which came out about the same time as this one. Both are revolutionary.

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.

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.

Powerful and pragmatic
Everyone wants to become a champion. And now Dr. Waitley shares new technology that will turn average individuals into champions and win the gold medal.

Great book Dr. Waitley.

Inspirational and Practical
This book shows the reader how to literally practice goals that lead to success. Denis Waitley uses stories and charts to motivate and inspire success. It is easy to read and use. -- Samuel Oliver, author of, WHAT THE DYING TEACH US: LESSONS ON LIVING.
