Psychology of Motivation

Rating:
Summary: Excellent program by Dr. Waitley
Review: Dr. Denis Waitley has always been my favorite personal development trainer. I have many of his books and audio tape programs. Reading his material is great; listening to him is even better!

This tape set covers Motivation and includes the latest research. While other people offer advice that may work, Dr. Waitley offers advice that is working and is backed by scientific research.

Review: Hard hitting analysis of what really makes us tick. Denis Waitley knows his business. I had the advantage of having a successful career as an Army Officer behind me prior to hearing his tapes. If you don't have 20 years to spend learning the Psychology of Motivation, I suggest listening to these two tapes. Don't expect to get it all in one sitting.

Summary: Psychology of Motivation
Review: I am very much involved in personal development. This tape series makes it very clear to understand why so many people lose interest in their goals. That we need intrinsic values as a motivator. Since a very young age I am a high achiever, with many personal victories. But I had difficulties to understand what kept me going, even when the odds had been against me. If you want to know why you are feeling an "internal" drive to keep going, even against the odds, or if you have difficulties getting motivated at all, these tapes help you understand - and perhaps change. I highly recommend these tapes from Denis Waitley.

Summary: Too many anecdotes
Review: I have heard a lot about Denis Waitley, but was disappointed with this set. It was padded with several lengthy anecdotes, to which I wouldn't want to listen more than once or twice. I didn't find much of interest or use here.

Review: Mr. Waitlety provides a very superficial discussion on human motivation. His focal point - cognitive mapping. I found very little insight within his analysis that a freshman sales manager or Human Resource professional would already know. The tape was disappointing at best. I found the tape more of a medium to promote the author for the speakers tour than anything of substance. A big disappointment.
