Dare to Win [Paperback]

Jack Canfield (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1996

Will you take the dare?

Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen believe that life has much more to offer us...if we dare to reach for it. Dare To Win offers a plan for doing just that--by developing the kind of confidence and self-esteem that allows each of us to think like a winner. This simple program can work for anyone, no matter what their personal goals. Dare to conquer your fears and accept life's challenge. Dare to Win.


In the authors' own words:

Amazing results! That's what we all want in our lives.

We might want more money. Or perhaps it's a more stimulating job we desire. Maybe it's true love, or a more gratifying sexual relationship. We might secretly dream of being in the movies, or of being president of a corporation, or even of entering politics.

In our dreams we all aspire to greater things. Yet a great many of us simply aren't getting the results we want. We don't have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives. We don't feel fulfilled or satisfied. In some very deep and personal way, we sense that we aren't living up to our full potential, that we aren't winners.
Why?

Why aren't we all what we want to be? Why don't we have all that we want? Why aren't we prosperous and blessed with the world's abundance? What's holding us back?

4.0 out of 5 stars How to train your subconscious to be useful, April 23, 2000

By 

Nic Williams - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dare to Win (Paperback)

If there is something in life that you want, and you haven't got it yet, then do yourself the great favour of reading this fine book by Jack and Mark. Based around the classic Napolean Hill principle "whatever man can conceive and believe he can be achieve", Dare to Win helps the reader understand how this principle actually works and offers strategies to help train your subconscious to help you achieve all the things you consciously want.

Most of us have a subconscious mind that is not being very conducive to us becoming successful in our chosen endeavours. This is not surprising given all the junk it gets fed on a daily basis from newspapers, etc etc. Dare to Win offers help by providing techniques to help focus your entire energies towards achieving those things you want to achieve. Affirmations and visualisation form the focus of these techniques. If you've never heard these words before, then read this book. If you have heard them before but are not using them to achieve those things you want, then read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Achieve!, September 10, 2003

This review is from: Dare to Win (Paperback)

This book helps a person to see how visualizing success leads to taking the actions which result in success. Positive thinking is a habit, which if cultivated, can change an individual's life for the better. The point is illustrated by a story attributed to Socrates. A stranger was asked what kind of people were in the city he left and he replied they weren't very nice, they were cheaters, liars, and those of similar nature. Socrates let the man know he'd find the same kind of people in Athens. A second man was asked about the kind of people he had experienced in his previous location and he said wonderful people. Socrates told him he would find the same kind of people in Athens. The moral is you see what you perceive you will find. Self-fulfilling prophecy can be found in personal relationships. Canfield and Hansen help their readers to see things from the perspective of the second person Socrates interviewed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Inspiring, June 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dare to Win (Paperback)

This wonderful book focuses on how we can change our lives by changing the way we think about life. The three keys stressed are to write down our goals, then visualize and affirm them. After reading this book, I immediately started applying the techniques in my own life and also share them with others in the "Success Skills Seminars" I present. This is must reading for those serious about improving their careers and personal life.
