I've probably read every self help book known to man and
I'm still not a winner. But I think I've taken a step closer to
that goal after reading Dr. Staples THINK LIKE A WINNER.
What I really enjoyed about the book and have found extremely helpful is all the information on the brain and how
changing your thinking can change your life.The book offers practical extremely useful techniques for reprograming your mind toward succes.
I will say that without a doubt this is the most useful
self help book I have ever read! I find it strange that THINK
LIKE A WINNER hasn't received more publicity and rank much higher
in sales.But then again in today's world marketing often determines sales more than content.
I think it was Henry David Thoreau who said that reading
a book can change a life. Henry David was right on the money
concering Dr. Staples book. It has the power to change lives.

Dr. Staples does a great job of portraying lots of success concepts without making his book seem one big long drawn out affair. He borrows quotes and tidbits heavily from other authors and I appreciated that. As I read the book I eagerly anticipate the snippits of information he'd insert (all very plainly attributed to the other authors).

The book is an easy read and captures most of the essential success concepts. It doesn't break a lot of new ground - and that was perfect. I found it to present some information in a brand new way that had me sitting up and taking notice.

As an example, in chapter 11 the author talks about three ways to persuade other people. The first way he mentions is a silly one that probably all of us have tried -- and it is to ignore people "and simply hope they will act in your best interest". He goes on to elaborate that "..by ignoring people you are giving up any hope of influencing them and thus surrendering yourself to the whims of fate".

It is little powerful bits of information like the above which made me glad I read this book. I'll definitely refer back to sections throughout the year. If you are serious about improving your life I think you'll enjoy this book a lot.

I've read numerous self-help books but none like Dr. Staples's THINK LIKE A WINNER. This book is solely responsible for my self-reinvention. I feel I'm in debt to Dr. Staples--and his unique way of planting his beneficial anecdotes in one's mind--for invalidating and transmuting all the false, self-destructive beliefs I had about myself. It hasn't been two years since I read the book, and, already, I'm at an advantage in my life--personally and professionally.

This book is unlike any of the dozens and dozens of books on the self-help shelves. And, I've read a lot of them...as I'm in the business of self-help. There is so much gold in this book that can easily and quickly be applied to our daily living. It should be a must read for every student, every teacher, every person. It's worth 100 times the cover price.

This particular author going by the lack of reviews does not seem to be read as much as the likes of some of the other popular authors he credits. I don't know why as both his books "Think Like A Winner" and "In Search of True Self" are extremely informative and encouraging hitting deep while still being easy to understand. Mr. Staples in my opinion as read and condensed a lot of the famous self help psychology books into his works, with lots of deep and thought provoking wisdom from some of the biggest thinkers from the past, highlighting topics in his books and showing that wisdom as been around for a long time if you are receptive to it. I highly recommend all Walters books.

The author does an excellent job of providing a roadmap toward self improvement. He provides several empirical examples of studies that validate the importance of your beliefs and thinking in your ultimate success. He clearly describes exercises that you can undertake to set goals, change attitudes and beliefs, and use mental imagery to lead you toward success in your chosen endeavor. By far the best of all the self help books I have read.

If you're looking for the ultimate in self-development books this book is a must buy! Dr. Staples is a master at his craft and seeks to help you understand that the way you think about yourself and your life is a direct correlation to the outcomes you're receiving. If you are on a track to truly improve your life by undertanding the way you "think" about it, this book will definitely pave the way to acheiving all that you desire and deserve! I whole-heartedly thank Dr. Staples and hope he writes more!!

This book is one of the best and clearly defines what it takes an individual to be successful in their own life. Easy to understand, clear concepts to follow through and think straight to be successful! I know it is one of the best out there! I GIVE THEM AWAY TO MY CLIENTS AND FRIENDS!

This book is incredible. Makes total sense and easy to read even though the content is pretty deep. I've read it 3 times and highly recommend it. Recommend reading some of the book every day.

Dr. Staples has written a very interesting, insightful and creative book about how to change one's life through transforming negative beliefs one holds about oneself. He provides simple exercises one can do to consciously change unhelpful beliefs about one's abilities which negatively impact one's behavior and therefore one's life.
