The New Dynamics of Winning: Gain the Mind-Set of a Champion for Unlimited Success in Business and Life

Denis Waitley. William Morrow & Company, $20 (221pp) ISBN 978-0-688-11562-3

Lecturer and former head of the mental training program of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Sports Medicine Council, Waitley here applies his theories for athletic success to business and personal life. In this upbeat, pragmatic guide, he outlines a program for tapping one's inner resources and abilities to achieve ``more than you or anyone else thought possible.'' Citing examples drawn from sport and business, he recommends breaking down major goals into 90-day-long mini-goals, which can also be divided into subgoals. Offering advice on preventive physical and mental health care, he emphasizes such stress-reducing, confidence-building techniques as positive ``self talk,'' short statements of praise and advice for repeating during moments of pressure. He concludes with a 21-day plan for establishing and accomplishing specific personal goals. (Jan.)
