Book Description

February 1992
Oh, no! Not another success book! Is that what you said when saw the title? Wrong! This is NOT just another success book. It is instead according to Scott DeGarmo, Editor-in-Chief, of Success Magazine: "a milestone in the field of personal development, and reading it can be a milestone in your life."

The author maintains that "most people choose to LOSE, this book teaches you how to WIN!" That may be a bit of a stretch. It is however the most innovative, extra-ordinary, and practical success books I've ever laid my hands on.

Dr. Wolf J. Rinke has the unique capacity to engage both your heart and your head. He provides you with powerful scientific evidence that will convince you once and for all that success is a choice and not a coincidence and that WINNING is something you can consciously choose every day! He also shares highly revealing and painful personal experiences that have transformed him from an "eternal pessimist" to an unabashed "relentless optimist."

The author will help you translate theory into practice because he speaks from experience! Beginning to work full time at age 14 with an 8th grade education, Rinke propelled himself to the top by relentlessly practicing the principles contained in this unique book.

Going beyond the tried and true he shares with you the accounts of other Winners who have transformed their lives by practicing six powerful principles-Positive self-esteem, Purpose, Energy, Education, Positive attitude and Perseverance, which Rinke collectively refers to as the PEP2 Principles. Each Winner shares in intimate detail their prescription for success, and how they have been able to apply the PEP2 Principles to rise to the top. You'll meet Master Jhoon Rhee, the father of Tae Kwon Do in the United States, and personal coach to Muhammad Ali, Jack Valenti, and over 100 congressmen. You'll learn the secrets of survival from Captain Gerald Coffee, who was held prisoner of war (POW) in the Communist prisons of Viet Nam for seven years. You'll find out from Dr. Ruth Bennett what it takes to remain vibrant and alert at age 94 and still travel internationally and even run marathons. You'll also have an opportunity to find out how a poor black boy by the name of Benjamin S. Carson was able to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become an incredibly successful physician, who attained national prominence when he headed the 70-member surgical team that successfully separated the Binder Siamese twins at John Hopkins Hospital. You'll also learn from Danielle Kennedy what it takes to sell enough real estate, while six months pregnant with a fifth child, to earn the title of "Six Million Dollar Woman." Last, but certainly not least, you'll learn from the legendary W Mitchell, who, despite two life threatening accidents which turned him into a disfigured paraplegic, still flies his own plane, goes skydiving and river rafting. The experiences and lessons from these winners will help you translate the PEP2 Principles into your own highly effective attitude and action plan for success. Unlike most other books of this kind, Make It A Winning Life is so much fun to read, that you won't be able to put it down! Never before has anyone written a self-development book that is powerful, entertaining, educational, humorous and scientifically sound, all at the same time. The writing style gives you the feeling that the author is having a one-on-one conversation with you. In addition his humor, insight and mental stretch breaks will keep you turning the pages fast and furious until you have literally devoured every page of this empowering book.

All of this is topped off with down to earth analogies, compelling poems, actual life experiences, and scientific data, coupled with powerful self-assessment instruments, specific action tools, and "winning action steps" which are guaranteed to help you transform your life, love and business. No wonder this book has been positively endorsed by Denis Waitley, Art Linkletter, Brian Tracy, Lou Holtz, Congressman Robert Linvingston and over 40 other nationally recognized individuals.

Most importantly, according to Anthony Robbins, acclaimed author of Awaken the Giant Within, Dr. Rinke's "passion and optimistic celebration of your limitless potential will help energize, motivate, and empower you."

In short, this is a highly innovative, entertaining and scientifically sound masterpiece that will provide readers with skills to transform their lives and succeed in a rapidly changing and highly competitive world. This book is destined to become a classic, right along side of Think and Grow Rich and The Power of Positive Thinking. It is truly a rare book, one that you'll want to refer to time and time again!


Editorial Reviews

Review

"Anyone can use these six 'PEP' principles to go far beyond anything they have ever done before. You learn how to achieve things you may never have thought possible!" -- Brian Tracy, President, Brian Tracy Learning Systems, and author of Psychology of Achievement

"His philosophy has worked for him, and it can work for you in all that you do!" -- Denis Waitley, author of The Psychology of Winning

"It's full of witty and upbeat advice that will help bring to you all the good things in life!" -- Roger Dawson, author of Secrets of Power Negotiating

"Wolf Rinke has the unique ability to tell you what successful people have known, in a manner that we can not only understand but employ in our daily lives." -- Lou Holtz, Former Head Football Coach, University of Notre Dame

"Wolf Rinke ignites a fire in your belly and shows you how to keep it burning while you achieve your dreams." -- Scott DeGarmo, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher, Success Magazine

"Wolf has the formula to help you take charge of your life. Use his principles and enjoy your ride to the top!" -- Dianna Booher, author and business communications expert

"[Helps you] get motivated and energized and learn how to maximize your potential. It's humorous, entertaining, and wise." -- Congressman Robert L. Livingston, U.S. House of Representatives

"Wolf Rinke's passion and optimistic celebration of your limitless potential will help energize, motivate, and empower you to MAKE it a WINNING life!" -- Anthony Robbins, author of Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within

From the Publisher

Make It A Winning Life is our most popular book. This book is unique in so many ways that we can't even begin to describe it all. Most importantly, based on reader feedback, it has the potential to transform your life! For example Lou Holtz maintains that this: ". . . book came at a critical time in my life and helped me immeasurably," and noted TV star Art Linkletter said: " I just read Dr. Rinke's book for the second time, and I don't do that very often. It was even better the second time around." We assume that the book is so effective because Rinke speaks from experience. He himself has used the concepts in the book to elevate himself from being an uneducated failure, who completed only an 8th grade education level, to a wealthy, highly educated super-successful, entrepreneur. We believe that Make It A Winning Life can help you achieve similar results!

I can personally attest to many people, including myself, who have been positively influenced by Wolf Rinke's best-selling and well-researched book.

You absolutely can not go wrong with this book - it will lay out the solutions to make your life more successful and fun, both personally and professionally.

By A Customer
This review is from: Make It a Winning Life: Success Strategies for Life, Love and Business (Hardcover)
I have read numerous motivational books, and this one is the best. It keeps the reader involved with exercises and suggestions. It's meaty; no irrelevant fluff. I have read it four times so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Winner, July 22, 2004
This review is from: Make It a Winning Life: Success Strategies for Life, Love and Business (Hardcover)
I purchased "Make it a Winning Life" at Wolf's workshop and began applying his six powerful success strategies and can tell you they really do work! Wolf empowered me to dream big and turn that dream into reality. I left my job of 15 years, began a nutrition consulting business and several years later wrote "Gluten-Free Diet: A Comprehensive Resource Guide", which is now a national best seller. This has resulted in a variety of speaking engagements throughout North America and frequent media interviews including the NBC Today Show. In addition to a very satisfying career, I'm blessed to be able to work from home and be with my family which is number one. I highly recommend Wolf's book and challenge you to make it a winning life!
