The Winner's Bible is the culmination of
Dr Kerry Spackman's work with elite sportsmen and
world champions. In the book, a set of
tools is provided for the reader to "
rewire" her brain for to achieve their
full potential. Kerry Spackman cites the case of a woman
addicted to drugs – two sessions with him and she was
cured! If only we all had such a
mentor in our lives!
Tools not rules is something Dr Spackman emphasises throughout
The Winner's Bible and he says this is what
distinguishes his book from so many other
self-help titles available. As you learn about the
techniques you also have to carry out
specific tasks culminating in your
personal winner's bible which,
Kerry Spackman claims, is what will
revolutionise your thinking if you use it
every day.
For the purposes of this
review I read the book straight through and have now gone back to
complete the tasks, some of which are
easier than others. Dr Spackman acknowledges that it is sometimes hard to identify our own
strengths and
weaknesses and friends might not
feel comfortable telling them to your face. So you register at
www.winnersbible.com and send an
email to your friends inviting them to
comment anonymously. The website facility only sends you
results after at least
four people have commented and the
paragraphs are mixed up so you shouldn't be able to
guess who said what – I haven't received mine back yet so I don't know how
effective this is.
Personally, I think it must be
wonderful to have
Kerry Spackman as a personal
consultant/life coach to help you
focus on your
goals and get the
best from your life. However
working on one's own with a book is less
satisfying. I have no problem with
strengths and weaknesses but finding images to
illustrate my goals is proving
difficult and the chapter on
Emotional Transformation in which you have to find a
Substitute Situation seems totally beyond me! But I persevere.
The Winner's Bible is full of excellent,
sensible advice and anyone – from
parents to students applying to
university – working through the book
diligently is bound to come up with
new insights into their character and discover ways to
improve life.
