Format:Mass Market Paperback
I first came across the works of Denis Waitley in late 1996, as I began my first steps towards entrepreneurship. It was via audio tape, which contained most if not all of the contents of this book, nonetheless, here was a complete stranger telling Me: I could succeed, I could achieve, I could do things - encouragement I was not getting from my immediate family, my peers, my "friends" at that time.
Someone once said: You will become like the information you input into your mind and the people you associate with. If that's the truth, then, I am indeed one step closer to where I wish to be in my life, and YOU can be there, too.

Enjoying tapes, especially on self improvement, has become a part of my daily commute. I have become more critical of their content in the process. This is my second audio tape from this author and I must admit that he is among my least favorites.
Mr Waitley stlye is similar to that of a football coach with too many 'one liners' we have all heard while someone humms 'America the Beautiful' in the background. It became irritating and difficult to maintain attention to his words. He is also too wordy to get his point across.
I am sure there are people who appreciate this man's style and may find him dynamic. I found him less knowledgable and making up for it with his cheerleading analogies.
I won't buy any more of his tapes. I prefer Brian Tracy for the same subject matter.

Waitley presents material in an easy to read fashion. His points are excellent, and his book is indeed worthy of being on every individual's book shelf. Whether you have experienced anxiety, depression, low self esteem, negative thoughts, relationship problems, or difficulty in accepting the simplest of compliments--this book is for you. This author helps readers delve into our interpretations and live more functionally by thinking more rationally. Yes-- this is the time to smell the roses. It's not what we don't have--but rather what we do have! I recommend this book without hesitation, as being undoubtedly the best book I have ever read.

I'd listened to a sample tape of this when I was in high school (1991). I listened to the tape so much as a kid that it fell apart. I like it a lot. Read more

Conceptually it's based on good principles but the analogies are at least 20 years old. It would be better if updated for today's world.
