"If you want to get the results that a winner gets, you must first think like a winner thinks!'
This is Dr. Walter Doyle Staples' premise in his new guide for everyone who wants to be successful and "win" at life.

What makes some people successful and others unsuccessful? How do your thoughts and beliefs affect your chances of success? What can you do to better ensure that you will be a winner? In order to answer these questions and more, Dr. Staples has explored the qualities that are characteristic of successful people. What he has discovered is that we are limited in reaching our full potential by our faulty personal belief systems. These beliefs lead to inhibiting feelings such as fear of failure, rejection, and inadequacy-all feelings which work to prevent success by putting up barriers.

Dr. Staples poses three questions that anyone interested in exploring their full potential in order to achieve a personal goal should ask themselves. Are you a compulsive goal-setter, setting a new goal every week? Do you have a "super achiever" attitude? Do you honestly believe you can do anything you set your mind to? This book will help readers achieve their success goals by teaching them to adopt and adapt core beliefs that will enable them to turn their life around. Packed with helpful exercises and inspiring quotes, Think Like a Winner! is a fascinating guide towards a better understanding of how the human mind works, and how one can act to ensure that he or she is a winner at life.
