Dare to Win [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Jack Canfield (Author), Mark Victor Hansen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 1996

How are you doing? Just okay? Not so great? Getting by? Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield believe that this just isn't good enough. They believe that everyone deserves the very best in life -- and that everyone is capable of achieving it. We need only to dare. Dare to try. Dare to succeed. Dare to Win.

With their trademark humor, anecdotes and enthusiasm, Hansen and Canfield take a hard look at the one factor that keep most of us from realizing the things we long for: fear. Fear is what holds us back, limits us, and leads to self-defeating behavior. But fear can be confronted and overcome, and Dare to Win is the program that simply, effectively, shows you how to do it.

Dare to Win will convince you that life's opportunities really are unlimited and that they are available to anyone who is willing to accept both the challenge and the reward.

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.

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.

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.
