And they never say “I’ll do this and just see what happens”! No! Quite on the contrary, they
know exactly why they are doing something, and why they aren’t doing something else.

Also, they never lie to themselves! They know where they are and where they want to be.
And when an obstacle comes, they don’t make a step backwards – they adapt.

Adaptation is an evolutionary trait. Those who got this far – you, me, etc. – got this far
because their ancestors were able to adapt. So, you should learn this technique too if you
want to make the next step into the future.

And you should be confident. Because self-esteem is what ultimately makes the difference
between a winner and a loser.

But, how do you become more confident?

Two words: positive self-talk. From now on, “I can” is the equivalent for “I can’t” in your
dictionary, and “I’m looking forward to” is what you should say instead of “I’d think about it”.

Key Lessons from “The Psychology of Winning”


1. Winning Is About Positives and Self-Reflection
2. The Life of a Winner is the Purpose-Driven Life
3. Self-Discipline Yourself to Greatness

Winning Is About Positives and Self-Reflection


You won’t get anywhere in life if you have a negative attitude. But, you also won’t succeed if
you don’t teach yourself to constantly look around you and discover where you are and
where you’ll want to be tomorrow.

Being positive won’t do by itself. If merely positive, in fact, not contemplating about the
current status of your talents and the effort you’ll need to achieve the level you dream about,
may turn you into the next Florence Foster Jenkins!

We wouldn’t want that, would we?

The Life of a Winner is the Purpose-Driven Life


Winners have a purpose in life. And they do anything with this purpose in mind.

Not having a purpose is a lot like not knowing if there’s a finish line after starting the
marathon race. Would you really like to go on running?

Self-Discipline Yourself to Greatness


Winners have good and healthy habits.

And you can have them too if you’re thinking positively, if you contemplate about your past
and future actions, and if you always have a purpose.

However, you also need to have some self-discipline. This means staying committed to your
path. You can be tempted away from it easily – winning is always much more difficult than
giving up.

Self-discipline will help you fight the temptations when they inevitably come.

Our Critical Review


“The Psychology of Winning” was first published in 1979. Almost forty years later – it’s still a
bestseller! In a world that’s changing so fast, and among a multitude of self-help books –
there’s a recommendation much louder than any words can ever shape.

In other words, to call Denis Waitley, with Charles Paul Conn, “a heavyweight among
motivational speaker” may be an understatement. Because he’s a champion heavyweight,
one of the best in the business. And if there’s one book he has written that you should read –
“The Psychology of Winning” is definitely it.

Highly recommended.
