Walter Staples (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 31, 1996

"If you're reading this, consider yourself lucky- you've stumbled across one of the best books ever written. Walter Staples has put so much wisdom and so many practical strategies for success into this book that it could have been three books. What a treasure chest for anyone serious about greater success and more happiness in every area of their life." Jack Canfield Coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul "This book has an important message-how to master the process of personal empowerment to help ourselves and others live fuller, more productive lives." Denis Waitley, Ph.D. Author of The Psychology of Winning and Seeds of Greatness "When you become master of your inner world, you become master of your outer world." So states Walter Staples in his new book. The author wants the reader to experience a spiritual awakening in order to develop a whole new sense of self, which affects every aspect of life. Everything is rooted in basic psychological principles, yet few people have been exposed to formal psychological education. As a consequence, most people live their lives without knowing who they really are, without knowing their true self. Everything necessary to find the true self comes from within: an open mind, curiosity, and ambition. This is the instruction book to use to achieve that goal. Dr. Staples is one of America's leading authorities on human potential and personal empowerment. An active speaker, he is the author of the international best seller, Think Like a Winner!, and Power to Win!, both published by Pelican.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down the best book I've read on personal discovery!!, October 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In Search of Your True Self: 21 Incredible Insights That Will Revitalize Your Body, Mind, and Spirit (Hardcover)

In his book, In Search of Your True Self, Walter Staples combines the best information available on mind management and personal excellence. I have read and listened to many, many programs on these and related topics. Mr. Staples'book was easy to follow. I enjoyed the accelerated learning approach used where each topic was first introduced with a favorite quote, then followed by a brief explanation, and finally summarized and exemplified with a true story. It should be read and reread by anyone serious about reaching their maximum potential.

I recommend this book and author to all of my friends and my seminar attendees. This book will pick you up and gently shake you and you'll never be the same again. Your life will change and the future will become brighter and full of promise beyond your dreams. If for some reason you could only read one book......this is the one.

After reading Think Like a Winner, I was so eager to read anything Staples wrote. Though Think Like a Winner is definitely a "winner", this book by far was more powerful to me. The quote on every other page inspired me, and fed me when I didn't have time to read the text. His simple, easy to understand method of writing as well as the inspriring text has made this book my "bible" for daily living as I discover my true self. I love this book and recommend it to everyone without hesitation!
