Make It a Winning Life: Success Strategies for Love, Life, and Business

Oh, no! Not another success book! Is that what you said when saw the title? Wrong! This is NOT just another success book. It is instead according to Scott DeGarmo, Editor-in-Chief, of Success Magazine: "a milestone in the field of personal development, and reading it can be a milestone in your life."

The author maintains that "most people choose to LOSE, this book teaches you how to WIN!" That may be a bit of a stretch. It is however the most innovative, extra-ordinary, and practical success books I've ever laid my hands on.

Dr. Wolf J. Rinke has the unique capacity to engage both your heart and your head. He provides you with powerful scientific evidence that will convince you once and for all that success is a choice and not a coincidence and that WINNING is something you can consciously choose every day! He also shares highly revealing and painful personal experiences that have transformed him from an "eternal pessimist" to an unabashed "relentless optimist."

The author will help you translate theory into practice because he speaks from experience! Beginning to work full time at age 14 with an 8th grade education, Rinke propelled himself to the top by relentlessly practicing the principles contained in this unique book.

Going beyond the tried and true he shares with you the accounts of other Winners who have transformed their lives by practicing six powerful principles-Positive self-esteem, Purpose, Energy, Education, Positive attitude and Perseverance, which Rinke collectively refers to as the PEP2 Principles. Each Winner shares in intimate detail their prescription for success, and how they have been able to apply the PEP2 Principles to rise to the top. You'll meet Master Jhoon Rhee, the father of Tae Kwon Do in the United States, and personal coach to Muhammad Ali, Jack Valenti, and over 100 congressmen. You'll learn the secrets of survival from Captain Gerald Coffee, who was held prisoner of war (POW) in the Communist prisons of Viet Nam for seven years. You'll find out from Dr. Ruth Bennett what it takes to remain vibrant and alert at age 94 and still travel internationally and even run marathons. You'll also have an opportunity to find out how a poor black boy by the name of Benjamin S. Carson was able to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become an incredibly successful physician, who attained national prominence when he headed the 70-member surgical team that successfully separated the Binder Siamese twins at John Hopkins Hospital. You'll also learn from Danielle Kennedy what it takes to sell enough real estate, while six months pregnant with a fifth child, to earn the title of "Six Million Dollar Woman." Last, but certainly not least, you'll learn from the legendary W Mitchell, who, despite two life threatening accidents which turned him into a disfigured paraplegic, still flies his own plane, goes skydiving and river rafting. The experiences and lessons from these winners will help you translate the PEP2 Principles into your own highly effective attitude and action plan for success. Unlike most other books of this kind, Make It A Winning Life is so much fun to read, that you won't be able to put it down! Never before has anyone written a self-development book that is powerful, entertaining, educational, humorous and scientifically sound, all at the same time. The writing style gives you the feeling that the author is having a one-on-one conversation with you. In addition his humor, insight and mental stretch breaks will keep you turning the pages fast and furious until you have literally devoured every page of this empowering book.

All of this is topped off with down to earth analogies, compelling poems, actual life experiences, and scientific data, coupled with powerful self-assessment instruments, specific action tools, and "winning action steps" which are guaranteed to help you transform your life, love and business. No wonder this book has been positively endorsed by Denis Waitley, Art Linkletter, Brian Tracy, Lou Holtz, Congressman Robert Linvingston and over 40 other nationally recognized individuals.

Most importantly, according to Anthony Robbins, acclaimed author of Awaken the Giant Within, Dr. Rinke's "passion and optimistic celebration of your limitless potential will help energize, motivate, and empower you."

In short, this is a highly innovative, entertaining and scientifically sound masterpiece that will provide readers with skills to transform their lives and succeed in a rapidly changing and highly competitive world. This book is destined to become a classic, right along side of Think and Grow Rich and The Power of Positive Thinking. It is truly a rare book, one that you'll want to refer to time and time again!
