Hi, Mindvalley tribe. I want to introduce you to the next remarkable mind that we're bringing on to mindvalley Masterclasses. His name is Dennis Whateley. And if that name sounds familiar, it could be because at some point in your life, you read one of his books or listened to one of his speeches. You see, Dennis Whateley holds a unique distinction In America. He was the guy who helped coach the Apollo astronauts. He helped coach the U.S. olympic team. And sometime in the late 70s and early 80s, he created a program called the Psychology of Winning. It was based on his research on what made really unique superstars who they were, from Olympians to American prisoners of war, who after being released from prison, suddenly were able to do remarkable things like become incredible sportsmen or rise to powerful positions in government or corporate America. So Dennis studied these people and their mind. He developed the Psychology of Winning. And it went on to become the single best selling audiobook program in history. It sold 2 million copies. And it was embraced by companies from Microsoft to GE who were giving it out to their employees because it was making people so much better at who they were and how they functioned in the world. Now, another thing that's really unique about Dennis is when you hear about all his accomplishments, he sounds like one of those, like, die hard motivational coaches, but he's not really like that at all. Dennis is one of the most humble, gentle souls I've ever met. In fact, being in his presence is so beautiful and rewarding. He puts you in a state of bliss. And his ideas, wow, these are powerful. So I invite you to join me and Dennis in a special masterclass that we just filmed in San Diego where Dennis is going to be giving you five models that you can take into your life to to give you the winner's edge. I look forward to seeing you in this class.
