Waitley's case that being the best means being your best, not beating others: integrity, self-respect, real success versus the appearance of it. It is a corrective to his own earlier emphasis and reads like a father writing to his children.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you want a success book that separates winning from being good.

Skip it if…

you want competition tactics.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Compare yourself with yesterday, not with others.
  2. Integrity is the asset that cannot be repurchased.
  3. Real success is quiet.

Do this first

Write your definition of 'the best' before and after reading chapter one.

Our verdict

Your best, not the best.
