Acknowledgements
In writing this book I have been enormously influenced by and drawn insights
and ideas from the books, audio and video tapes, lectures and seminars of many
notable authorities in the field of personal development. I have attempted to
bring together the principles and techniques which I have found to be most
effective, not only in my life but in the lives of others whom I have had the
privilege of influencing.
My knowledge and understanding of the development of human potential has
been greatly affected by the following experts in their fields:
Richard Bandler Jinny Ditzler Jim Rohn
Og Mandino Dr Stephen Covey Tom Hopkins
Dr Reg Barrett Dr Norman W Clement Stone
Vincent Peale
Dr Maxwell Maltz Al Koran
Dr Wayne Dyer
Dr Kenneth Blanchard Paul G Thomas
Dr George Winslow
Paul J Meyer Plummer Alan Lakein
Claude Bristol Dr Milton Erickson Brian Tracy
Dr Joseph Murphy Anthony Robbins Dan Sullivan
Tony Buzan John Grinder Caroline Leaf
Earl Nightingale Dr Robert Schuller Dr Dennis Waitley
George S Clason Dr Napoleon Hill Dr H Spencer Lewis
John O’Keeffe Dr David Schwartz Zig Ziglar
I trust this book, inspired by these specialists, will serve to further advance the
practical application of the philosophy to which they all subscribe: ‘The seeds
of future achievement are the thoughts of the present. If you will control your
thoughts, you will control your destiny.’
Additionally, I am deeply grateful to the participants who have attended my
personal development programmes and seminars over the years. My insight
into human behaviour and motivation has been significantly enhanced by their
contributions, both during the courses and in subsequent feedback.
