The Winner's Bible: Rewire Your Brain for Permanent Change [Paperback]

Dr. Kerry Spackman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2009

World-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Kerry Spackman shows you how to use and customize the groundbreaking tools he pioneered for elite athletes, Olympic champions, and upper-echelon businesspeople to permanently rewire your brain and transform your life.

THE WINNER'S BIBLE gives you mental and emotional tools that can change your natural desires and rid you of habits that limit your happiness or potential. Dr. Spackman provides practical, proven techniques for acquiring the strengths necessary to grow into a better, happier, and more powerful person. He's used these techniques to genuinely revolutionize the lives of normal people, sports stars, business people and even drug addicts--sometimes in a single session.

How this book helps change you into a winner:

• Rather than goals that are forever out of your reach, THE WINNER'S BIBLE offers step-by-step instructions that are practical, manageable, and illustrated with real-life case studies--your brain is not a computer that can be reprogrammed by simply repeating different thoughts and clever phrases.
• Permanent change requires rewiring both the logical and the emotional circuits of your brain--knowing what to do and being able to do it are two entirely different things.
• Dr. Spackman's valuable and effective methods, including unique visualization practices, allow you to access and take control of your emotional system, and then redirect it so that it works for you, not against you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Winner's Bible rewires and supercharges, October 29, 2009

This review is from: The Winner's Bible: Rewire Your Brain for Permanent Change (Paperback)

Having read dozens of self-help and performance psychology books during my time in competitive sport, I was delighted by the contrast between The Winner's Bible and the standard neuroscience texts or pop-psychology self help books. The work is a nuts and bolts 'how to' practical guide to changing the way you go about achieving your ambitions. I read the book 6 weeks ago and followed the process - As a result I am reaping the rewards of being laser-focused, energised and the people around me have noticed a permanent change.

I highly recommend the book to anyone wanting to make a step change in their life. This stuff just works.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read AND an improved me., November 5, 2009

By

This review is from: The Winner's Bible: Rewire Your Brain for Permanent Change (Paperback)

Having never fully subscribed to self help books (the concepts are often a bit too fluffy for my scientific brain), I was pleasantly surprised with The Winner's Bible. In fact, the chatty style meant I hardly even registered that I was reading a self help book. It was easy to breeze through the pages and the diverse vignettes peppered throughout mostly added another layer to the thought process whilst allowing time to mentally digest the previous chapter.

Fortunately this easy-to-read style did not mask a lack of substance. The neuroscience background of the author means the book has scientific grounding, but it is not at all like reading some dry scientific paper. In fact, Dr Spackman has managed to expertly pitch The Winner's Bible at everyday people and manages that fine balance between being overly simplistic and therefore condescending and being too technical.

I would recommend using the website in addition to the book for some of the tools to create your personal winners bible. The website provides the structural skeleton, whereas the book provides and provokes the thoughts. However, by far the best feature of the website is the online audit. This allows your friends, family and colleagues to give anonymous feedback on how you are viewed by others - an enlightening process, if not a slightly scary concept. But as I keep telling myself, you can't fix what you don't know is broken!

On a personal level, I feel better equipped with confidence and self belief to face upcoming challenges thanks to The Winner's Bible. It was the positive changes brought about in me by The Winner's Bible that inspired me to submit this review. A world of better people would be a more stimulating and exciting place to live!

On the website, I see that the author is planning future books, which if they build on concepts in the current book should be another layer of interesting reading.

This review is from: The Winner's Bible: Rewire Your Brain for Permanent Change (Paperback)

Tired of getting to the end of another self help book and wondering where to start?

The Winners's Bible provides the tools that create permanent change.

I bought the book on July 14th 2009 though Amazon after a friend "linked me" to The Winner's Bible website.

I listened to world class athletes describe personal changes in their lives that were brought about after applying Dr Spackmans techniques and tools, and I figured if they (people who have tried everything) got results then why not me?

Anyway - about the book.

Only start this read if you've got time...not to put it down. The author writes in such a way that anyone can understand the princples. Unlike some books that I have read this one doesn't require a thesaurus.

Dr Spackman will help you understand how and why you've failed to make changes in the past. He provides practical solutions and tools, that if applied consistantly, will create permanent changes in the future.

The key for me is that this book makes it personal. No one else has the exact same issues as I do. The personal bible you create provides you with a "visual stimlulator" that really only helps one person - you. I now have a clear picture of where I am going and what personally "drives me". My energy levels have ripped to new levels because I am focused on what really matters to me. Reprogramming my automatic reponses is something I didn't know I could do before reading this book. It is crazy to think of the time and effort I have wasted in the past with books that just don't work.

I've had to apply myself; creating change requires work. If you really want to change the direction you are heading in life, if you want to be a winner, this book will help you create solutions.

If you want to regain control, then get a copy. The proof is in the pudding!!
