Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is Denis Waitley's finest work. This material is so fresh and "so" 'with it' and "so" needed and "so" beautifully and poetically expressed, and "so" vital to the kind of change we must all undergo to succeed in the whitewater world of today. The spirit of a gentleman scholar flows through these insightful ideas." --Steven Covey, author, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People"

"I have been studying Denis for years and in this particular book he finds the difference between the winner and simply winning. It is all in your mind. It's an attitude and it is simply a must-read." --Pat Riley, head coach, Miami Heat

"Denis Waitley's life has placed him in the position of 'the best there is' at getting employees to think and act like owners. It's this simple! Get everybody you can to read and listen to his teachings." --Tom Peters, co-author, "In Search of Excellence"

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Motivator!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2003
Dr. Waitley continues to turn out one quality book after another. These works are timeless and their principles are useful regardless of the date of original publication because they are taken from Christian truths. Take his teaching on belief. On page 118 he writes "Belief as a positive force is the promise of realizing things hoped for and unseen. As a negative force, it is the premonition of our deepest fears and unseen darkness." Hebrews 11:1 is the origin of this discussion. Waitley goes on to talk about the power of the unseen by adding "What the mind harbors, the body manifests in some way" (p. 119). It's no wonder Waitley has sold so many books and held presentations all over the world. He has a valid message and is gifted as a communicator. Time spent reading this book is time well invested in one's manifesting one's future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leadership, responsibility, and humor
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2012
Empires of the Mind is a very interesting book. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the read as I don't like books at all. But after delaying reading the book until the last second, I was forced to read it.

The book at first was boring, but that was most likely just me trying to make myself give up. After reading this book for a while I found in even the first couple of chapters you learn about "individual leadership and personal responsibility." I also found this book has a bit of humor. The paper bag experiment he attempted in his bathroom was a joy to read. I loved the part about his wife finding him.

I would say this book is a must read and gives a lot of advice how to succeed in this world, not just for the owners but also to the employees.
