Empires Of The Mind

Companies across the globe are re-engineering themselves to compete in the fast-changing marketplace. In this changing environment, long-term positions disappear overnight — some people sink while others swim. But those who do the best are those who carry their value with them.

Opportunities for a self-managing, self-starting individual have never been better. Your most valuable assets today are your abilities to use your mind — to access, communicate, and creatively evaluate information. In a society in which the main commodity is becoming information, it's not your status that matters, but what you know and how quickly you can learn. As Churchill said: "Only the empires of the mind endure."

Denis Waitley has developed Empires of the Mind to go to the very heart of your life today — both professional and personal — and examine your prospects for the future. You'll learn how to discover and exploit your core passion, finding the skills you were born to develop and using them to increase your personal motivation, success, and achievement.

You'll learn specific steps to develop your capabilities and confidence, such as:

• Ten ways to develop personal responsibility
• Seven ways to enhance self-esteem
• Ten action steps for identifying and pursuing your mission in life
• Seven essentials for building a winning team around you
• Five strategies for conditioning new habits
• Twelve pointers on developing healthy personal relationships

Your most valuable asset is luckily the one limitless in its capabilities to improve: your mind. Use it to challenge old assumptions, break with tradition, and absorb every new idea you can find. Empires of the Mind is Denis Waitley's blueprint for the new millennium and action plan for inventiveness and integrity in the modern workplace.
