View Full Version : The Psychology of Winning Scarlet Warrior 05-22-2004, 05:51 AM I have just read this classic by Denis Waitley. It is a straight-to-the-point, no nonsense book with lots of high quality and practical information. It is very motivating and I fully recommend it. :yup: Tom 05-22-2004, 06:04 AM Sounds good Scarlet. I know he has written a lot of motivational stuff. I will have to check this one out. Can you give an example of something you gained from it, or was it more just positive reinforcement of knowledge you've already gained? Scarlet Warrior 05-25-2004, 01:07 AM Sounds good Scarlet. I know he has written a lot of motivational stuff. I will have to check this one out. Can you give an example of something you gained from it, or was it more just positive reinforcement of knowledge you've already gained? It was mainly reinforcement of knowledge I already had, though it is written in a very enthusiastic and motivating way. I really like the way he discusses positive self expectancy, visualisation and self image.... as I mentioned, it is very motivating. Tom 05-25-2004, 01:18 AM Sounds great! I will get it. Scarlet Warrior 05-29-2004, 01:20 AM It is actually a very short book. It only took a couple of days to read.... but the content is high quality.

Scarlet Warrior 05-30-2004, 03:36 AM Scarlet, What kind of practical information does the book have? Thanks! Waitley discusses 'the 10 qualities of a total winner' which are: Positive Self Awareness Positive Self Esteem Positive Self Control Positive Self Motivation Positive Self Expectancy Positive Self Image Positive Self Direction Positive Self Discipline Positive Self Dimension Positive Self Projection Each of these qualities has a chapter dedicated to it, at the end of which Waitley suggests 10 practical ways to implement them. Antiphrasis 05-30-2004, 12:04 PM Scarlet, Thank you for your help! It's probably an interesting read. I'm curious how to practically implement those fairly abstract terms. :) rohit_mathur 06-01-2004, 12:43 PM Sounds great! I will get it.
