Summary: not different from the other self-improve books
Comment: I have a distrust for self-help books in general. I heard this one was good, and bought it second-hand for less than a dollar. Waitley pointed out ten important traits of high-achieving people. To me, the more interesting ones among them are: persevarence and having definite goals in life. The book contains ten chapters corresponding to the ten traits. In each chapter he explains what he means by a particular trait, and gives examples to illustrate what he means, and how this trait is important. I quite often found his examples not very convincing or even irrelevant. For instance, in the chapter "The Seed of Purpose", he gave this example of how his children got him into buying a dog he didn't want to buy. I wasn't quite sure what he wanted to show by that example, if he had to include it in his book, it should probably be better included in the chapter "perseverance".
Still, many of the things from the book are true. Such as having a well-defined goal. But most people probably know them to start with. The hard part is to get the readers into action. And I don't think this book is particularly better at it than similar ones.

Summary: An Inspirational Classic!
Comment: This is my first Denis Waitley book. Waitley has done well to illustrate these basic truths about the power thought, will, persistence, faith and other seeds of greatness with touching personal stories and anecdotes. His doting grandmother and her down-to-earth wisdom are truly inspiring for me.
My advice is to read each chapter and to practice his recommended skills section before moving on to the next chapter. You'll be able to appreciate these pearls of wisdom better and you'll also start to see the positive changes in yourself!
Not just another motivational book on the shelf. This is in the league of Og Mandino, Norman Vincent Peale and James Allen.
Wait no longer. Plant your seeds of greatness today!
God Bless.

Summary: ARE YOU PLANTING SEEDS OF GREATNESS OR SEEDS OF FAILURE?
Comment: Seeds Of Greatness
by Denis Waitley is one of my favorites self help books. Dr Waitley has a unique personal style that I connect with.
The crux of this book is that every action we take, every thought we have is either a seed for future success or a seed for future failure. Which means that we must be cognizant at all times--what we think about and what we tell our children and ultimately ourselves.
