 1. Emotional Mastery 

Mastering this lesson alone will take you most of the way toward mastering the other four ! Think about it . Why do you want to lose weight ? Is it just to have less fat on your body ? Or is it because of the way . you think you'd feel if you freed yourself of those unwanted pounds , giving yourself more energy and vitality , making yourself feel more attractive to others , and boosting your confidence and self - esteem to the stratosphere ? Virtually everything we do is to change the way we feel- yet most of us have little or no training in how to do this quickly and effectively . It's amazing how often we use the intelligence at our command to work ourselves into unresourceful emotional states , forgetting about the multitude of innate talents each of us already possesses . Too many of us leave ourselves at the mercy of outside events over which we may have no control , failing to take charge of our emotions over which we have all the control - and relying instead on short - term quick fixes . How else can we explain the fact that , while less than 5 percent of the world's population lives in the United States , we consume more than 50 percent of the world's cocaine ? Or that our national defense budget , which currently runs in the billions , is equaled by what we spend on alcohol consumption ? Or that 15 million Americans are diagnosed every year as clinically depressed , and more than $ 500 million worth of prescriptions are written for the antidepressant drug Prozac ? 

In this book , you will discover what makes you do what you do , and the triggers for the emotions you experience most often . You will then be given a step - by - step plan to show you how to identify which emotions are empowering , which are disempowering , and how to use both kinds to your best advantage so that your emotions become not a hindrance , but instead a powerful tool in helping you achieve your highest potential . 

1. 情绪掌控

 仅掌握这一课就可以让你在掌握其他四门课程的过程中走得更远！ 想想看。 你为什么要减肥？ 只是为了减少你身上的脂肪吗？ 或者是因为方式。 你认为如果你摆脱了那些多余的体重，给自己更多的能量和活力，让自己对他人更具吸引力，并提升你对平流层的自信和自尊，你会有什么感觉？ 实际上，我们所做的一切都是为了改变我们的感受——但我们大多数人都很少或根本没有接受过如何快速有效地做到这一点的培训。 令人惊讶的是，我们经常使用我们所指挥的智力使自己进入无资源的情绪状态，忘记我们每个人已经拥有的众多与生俱来的才能。 我们中的太多人任由我们可能无法控制的外部事件摆布，未能掌控我们完全可以控制的情绪——而是依赖于短期的快速解决方案。 我们如何解释这样一个事实，即世界上只有不到 5% 的人口生活在美国，而我们却消费了世界上 50% 以上的可卡因？ 还是说我们目前数十亿的国防预算与我们在酒精消费上的花费相等？ 或者每年有 1500 万美国人被诊断出患有临床抑郁症，并且为抗抑郁药百忧解开出了价值超过 5 亿美元的处方？

 在这本书中，你会发现是什么让你做你所做的，以及你最常经历的情绪的触发因素。 然后你会得到一个循序渐进的计划，向你展示如何识别哪些情绪会增强力量，哪些情绪会削弱，以及如何利用这两种情绪来发挥你最大的优势，这样你的情绪就不会成为障碍，而是一种强大的力量。 帮助您发挥最大潜力的工具。

2. Physical Mastery 

Is it worth it to have everything you've ever dreamed of , yet not have the physical health to be able to enjoy it ? Do you wake up every morning feeling energized , powerful , and ready to take on a new day ? Or do you wake up feeling as tired as the night before , riddled with aches , and resentful at having to start all over again ? Will your current lifestyle make you a statistic ? One of every two Americans dies of coronary disease ; one of three dies of cancer . To borrow a phrase from the seventeenth - century physician Thomas Moffett , we are " digging our graves with our teeth as we cram our bodies with . high - fat , nutritionally empty foods , poison our systems with cigarettes , alcohol , and drugs , and sit passively in front of our TV sets . This second master lesson will help you take control of your physical health so that you not only look good , but you feel good and know that you're in control of your life , in a body that radiates vitality and allows you to accomplish your outcomes .

2. 身体掌握

 拥有你梦寐以求的一切，却没有身体健康来享受它，值得吗？ 您是否每天早上醒来都感觉精力充沛、精力充沛，并准备好迎接新的一天？ 或者你醒来时感觉像前一天晚上一样疲倦，浑身酸痛，对不得不重新开始感到不满？ 你现在的生活方式会让你成为一个统计数字吗？ 每两个美国人中就有一个死于冠心病； 三个死于癌症的人之一。 借用 17 世纪 医生 托马斯 莫菲特 的 一句话 , 我们 正在 " 用 牙齿 挖掘 我们 的 坟墓 , 用 高 脂肪 , 营养 空洞 的 食物 填满 我们 的 身体 , 用 香烟 , 酒精 和 药物 毒害 我们 的 系统 , 坐着 . 被动 地 在 我们 的 电视机 前 . 这 第二 大师 课 将 帮助 你 控制 你 的 身体 健康 , 这样 你 不仅 看起来 很好 , 而且 你 感觉 很好 并且 知道 你 可以 控制 自己 的 生活 , 在 一个 散发 光芒 的 身体 里 活力，让你完成你的成果。

3. Relationship Mastery 

Other than mastering your own emotions and physical health , there is nothing I can think of that is more important than learning to master your relationships - romantic , family , business , and social . After all , who wants to learn , grow , and become successful and happy all by themselves ? The third master lesson in this back will reveal the secrets to enable you to create quality relationships - first with yourself , then with others . You will begin by discovering what you value most highly , what your expectations are , the rules by which you play the game of life , and how it all relates to the other players Then , as you achieve mastery of this all - important skill , you will learn how to connect with people at the deepest level and be rewarded with something we all want to experience : a sense of contribution , of knowing that we have made a difference in other people's lives . I've found that , for me , the greatest resource is a relationship because it opens the doors to every resource I need . Mastery of this lesson will give you unlimited resources for growing and contributing . 

3. 关系掌握

 除了 掌握 自己 的 情绪 和 身体 健康 之外 , 没有 什么 比 学习 掌握 自己 的 人际关系 —— 浪漫 , 家庭 , 商业 和 社交 更 重要 了 . 毕竟，谁愿意自己学习、成长、成功和快乐呢？ 后面的第三节大师课将揭示使您能够建立优质关系的秘诀——首先是与自己，然后是与他人。 你首先会发现你最看重什么，你的期望是什么，你玩人生游戏的规则，以及这一切与其他玩家的关系。然后，当你掌握了这项至关重要的技能时，你 将学习如何与人建立最深层次的联系，并获得我们都想体验的东西：一种贡献感，一种知道我们已经改变了别人的生活的感觉。 我 发现 对 我 来说 , 最 重要 的 资源 是 一种 关系 , 因为 它 为 我 需要 的 每 一种 资源 打开 了 大门 . 掌握这一课将为您提供无限的成长和贡献资源。

4. Financial Mastery 

By the time they reach the age of sixty - five , most Americans are either dead broke - or dead ! That's hardly what most people envision for themselves as they look ahead to the golden age of retirement . Yet without the conviction that you deserve financial well - being , backed up by a workable game pian , how can you turn your treasured scenario into reality ? The fourth master lesson in this book will teach you how to go beyond the goal of mere survival in your autumn years of life , and even now , for that matter . Because we have the good fortune to live in a capitalist society , each of us has the capability to carry out our dreams Yet most of us experience financial pressure on an ongoing basis , and we fantasize that having more money would relieve that pressure . This is a grand cultural delusion let me assure you that the more money you have , the more pressure you're likely to feel . The key is not the mere pursuit of wealth , but changing your beliefs and attitudes about it so you see it as a means for contribution , not the end - all and be all for happiness . 

To forge a financial destiny of abundance , you will first learn how to change what causes scarcity in your life , and then how to experience on a consistent basis the values , beliefs , and emotions that are essential to experiencing wealth and holding on to it and expanding it . Then you'll define your goals and shape your dreams with an eye toward achieving the highest possible level of well - being , filling you with peace of mind and freeing you to look forward with excitement to all the possibilities that life has to offer . 

4. 财务掌握

 到了六十五岁时，大多数美国人要么已经破产，要么已经死了！ 这几乎不是大多数人在展望退休黄金时代时所设想的。 然而，如果没有确信自己应得的财务福利，并有一个可行的游戏机作为后盾，你怎么能把你珍贵的场景变成现实呢？ 本书 的 第四 课 将 教 你 如何 在 你 的 人生 秋天 , 甚至 是 现在 , 超越 仅仅 生存 的 目标 . 因为我们有幸生活在资本主义社会，我们每个人都有能力实现我们的梦想。然而，我们大多数人都在持续承受着经济压力，我们幻想着拥有更多的钱可以减轻这种压力。 这是一个巨大的文化错觉，让我向你保证，你拥有的钱越多，你可能感受到的压力就越大。 关键不是仅仅追求财富，而是改变你对财富的信念和态度，把它看作是一种贡献的手段，而不是最终的目的，为了幸福而全力以赴。

 为了打造富足的财务命运，你首先要学会如何改变导致你生活中匮乏的原因，然后如何始终如一地体验对体验财富和保持财富至关重要的价值观、信仰和情感。 扩展它。 然后，您将定义您的目标并塑造您的梦想，着眼于实现最高水平的幸福，让您内心平静，让您兴奋地期待生活所提供的所有可能性。

5. Time Mastery 

Masterpieces take time . Yet how many of us really know how to use it ? I'm not talking about time management , I'm talking about actually taking time and distorting it , manipulating it so that it becomes your ally rather than your enemy . The fifth master lesson in this book will teach you , first , how short - term evaluations can lead to long - term pain . You will learn how to make a real decision and how to manage your desire for instantaneous gratification , thus allowing your ideas , your creations even your own potential - the time to reach full fruition . Next you'll learn how to design the necessary maps and strategies for following up on your decision , making it a reality with the willingness to take massive action , the patience to experience " lag time , and the flexibility to change your approach as often as needed . Once you have mastered time , you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year- and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade !

5.时间掌握

 杰作需要时间。 然而，我们当中有多少人真正知道如何使用它？ 我不是在谈论时间管理，我在谈论实际上花费时间并扭曲它，操纵它，使它成为你的盟友而不是你的敌人。 本书的第五课将教你，首先，短期评估如何导致长期痛苦。 您将学习如何做出真正的决定以及如何管理您对即时满足的渴望，从而让您的想法、您的创作甚至您自己的潜力——充分实现的时间。 接下来，您将学习如何设计必要的地图和策略来跟进您的决定，通过采取大规模行动的意愿、体验“滞后时间”的耐心以及经常改变方法的灵活性来实现它。 需要。一旦你掌握了时间，你就会明白大多数人高估他们在一年内可以完成的事情——而低估他们在十年内可以完成的事情是多么真实！

I'm not sharing these lessons with you to say that I have all the answers or that my life has been perfect or smooth . I've certainly had my share of challenging times . But through it all , I've managed to learn , persist , and continually succeed throughout the years . Each time I've met a challenge , I've used what I've learned to take my life to a new level . And , like yours , my level of mastery these five areas continues to expand . 

我与你分享这些课程并不是说我有所有的答案，或者我的生活是完美或顺利的。 我当然也经历过充满挑战的时期。 但通过这一切，我已经设法学习、坚持，并在这些年来不断取得成功。 每次我遇到挑战时，我都会利用我所学的知识将我的生活提升到一个新的水平。 而且，和你一样，我对这五个领域的掌握程度也在不断扩大。

Also , living my lifestyle may not be the answer for you . My dreams and goals may not be yours . I believe , though , that the lessons I've learned about how to turn dreams into reality , how to take the intangible and make it real , are fundamental to achieving any level of personal or professional success . I wrote this book to be an action guide - a textbook for increasing the quality of your life and the amount of enjoyment that you can pull from it . While I'm obviousy extremely proud of my first book . Unlimited Power , and the impact it's had on people all over the world , I feel this book will bring you some new and unique distinctions of power that can help you move your life to the next level . 

此外，过我的生活方式可能不是你的答案。 我的梦想和目标可能不是你的。 不过，我相信，我所学到的关于如何将梦想变为现实、如何将无形的东西变为现实的课程，对于实现任何水平的个人或职业成功都是至关重要的。 我写这本书是为了作为一本行动指南——一本提高你的生活质量和从中获得乐趣的教科书。 虽然我显然为我的第一本书感到非常自豪。 无限的力量，以及它对全世界人民的影响，我觉得这本书会给你带来一些新的和独特的力量区别，可以帮助你将你的生活提升到一个新的水平。

We will be reviewing some of the fundamentals , since repetition is the mother of skill . Therefore , I hope this will be a book you'll read again and again , a book you'll come back to and utilize as a tool to trigger yourself to find the answers that already lie inside you . Even so , remember that as you read this book , you don't have to believe or use everything within it Grab hold of the things you think are useful ; put them in action immediately . You won't have to implement all of the strategies or use all of the tools in this book to make some major changes . All have life changing potential individually ; used together , however , they will produce explosive results . 

我们将回顾一些基础知识，因为重复是技巧之母。 因此，我希望这会是一本你会一遍又一遍地阅读的书，一本你会回来并利用它来触发你自己去寻找已经存在于你内心的答案的书。 即便如此，请记住，当您阅读本书时，您不必相信或使用其中的所有内容。抓住您认为有用的东西； 立即付诸行动。 您不必实施所有策略或使用本书中的所有工具来进行一些重大更改。 每个人都有改变生活的潜力； 但是，它们一起使用，会产生爆炸性的效果。

This book is filled with the strategies for achieving the success you desire , with organizing principles that I have modeled from some of the most powerful and interesting people in cur culture I've had the unique opportunity to meet , interview , and model a huge variety of people - people with impact and unique character- from Norman Cousins to Michael Jackson , from coach John Wooden to financial wizard John Templeton , from the captains of industry to cab drivers . In the following pages , you'll find not only the benefits of my own experience , but that of the thousands of books , tapes , seminars , and interviews that I've accumulated over the last ten years of my life , as I continue the exciting , ongoing quest of learning and growing a little bit more , every single day . 

这本书充满了实现你想要的成功的策略，以及我从当前文化中一些最有影响力和最有趣的人那里模仿的组织原则，我有机会结识、采访和塑造各种各样的人。 从诺曼·考辛斯到迈克尔·杰克逊，从教练约翰·伍登到金融奇才约翰·邓普顿，从行业领袖到出租车司机，人们——具有影响力和独特性格的人——。 在接下来的几页中，你不仅会发现我自己的经验的好处，而且会发现我在过去十年中积累的数以千计的书籍、磁带、研讨会和采访的好处。 每一天都令人兴奋，不断追求学习和成长。

The purpose of this book is not just to help you make a singular change in your life , but rather to be a pivot point that can assist you in taking your entire life to a new level . The focus of this book is an creating global changes. What do I mean by this ? Well , you can learn to make changes in your life - overcome a fear or a phobia , increase the quality of a relationship , or overcome your pattern of procrastinating . All these are incredibly valuable skills , and if you've read Unlimited Power , you've already learned many of them . However , as you continue through the following pages , you'll find that there are key leverage points within your life that , if you make one small change , will literally transform every aspect of your life . 

这本书的目的不仅仅是帮助你在你的生活中做出一个独特的改变，而是作为一个支点，帮助你把你的整个生活提升到一个新的水平。 本书的重点是创造全球变化。 这是什么意思？ 好吧，你可以学会改变你的生活——克服恐惧或恐惧症，提高关系的质量，或者克服你的拖延模式。 所有这些都是非常宝贵的技能，如果你读过无限力量，你已经学会了其中的许多。 但是，当您继续阅读以下页面时，您会发现生活中有一些关键的杠杆点，如果您做出一点小小的改变，就会真正改变您生活的方方面面。

This book is designed to offer you the strategies that can help you to create , live , and enjoy the life you currently may only be dreaming of . In this book you will learn a series of simple and specific strategies for addressing the cause of any challenge and changing it with the least amount of effort . For example , it might be hard for you to believe that merely by changing one word that is part of your habitual vocabulary , you could immediately change your emotional patterns for life . Or that by changing the consistent questions that you consciously or unconsciously ask yourself , you could instantly change what you focus on and therefore what actions you take every day of your life . Or that by making one belief change , you could powerfully change your level of happiness . Yet in the following chapters you'll learn to master these techniques and many more - to effect the changes you desire. 

本书旨在为您提供可以帮助您创造、生活和享受您目前可能只是梦想的生活的策略。 在本书中，您将学习一系列简单而具体的策略来解决任何挑战的原因并以最少的努力改变它。 例如，你可能很难相信，仅仅通过改变你习惯词汇中的一个词，你就可以立即改变你一生的情绪模式。 或者，通过改变你有意识或无意识地问自己的一贯问题，你可以立即改变你关注的内容，从而改变你每天生活中采取的行动。 或者，通过改变一种信念，你可以有力地改变你的幸福水平。 然而，在接下来的章节中，您将学习掌握这些技巧以及更多技巧 - 以实现您想要的更改。
