Review:

What is it that a successful person has and an unsuccessful person lacks? According to Robin Seiger the deficiency is, in a nutshell, a winning mental attitude. In this book he explains how anybody can turn themselves into a winner simply by believing that they are one.

Of course building self-belief is never a straightforward matter, but if you think that this book is going to be just another self-help guide which is hard to follow and of little real value then read on. Seiger manages to sound very convincing in his arguments, and, probably more importantly, gives lots of practical advice. His mix of personal anecdotes, semi-scientific material (particularly about how the brain works) and good old fashioned tips on how to change your attitude are a potent blend. The variety helps the ideas he presents stick in the mind, and that, as he likes to remind readers, is an important part of maintaining the commitment to succeed.

The hardest part of the whole process of developing that elusive winner's mentality is actually making the big changes in your lifestyle and thought processes. In the final chapter of the book Seiger shows how to do just that, and then gives an example of how it worked in practice for him. It is a good story to conclude a good book. --Sandra Vogel
