Top Ten Authors I Admire

This is a sequel of my previous blog: Rich people admire other rich and successful people

Deepak Chopra, born in New Delhi, India, is regarded as a very successful Motivational and keynote speaker. Being a certified Doctor and a Teacher in the United States led him to ponder beyond the normal boundaries of thought. His books on spirituality, aging and health have become much coveted bestsellers around the world.

“The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.” - Deepak Chopra.

Wayne Dyer, on the other hand, had a very depressing and sad childhood. When his family was abandoned by his alcoholic father, he lived in orphanages and foster homes. He joined the army and after serving for 4 years, left it and graduated in Counselling from the Detroit University. He is famously regarded as the 'Father of Motivation' by his fans, is a self-help advocate and lives in Hawaii with his family.

Dan Millman is very successful motivational speaker. A successful gymnast, an instructor at the Stanford University and author of 13 self help books, his most famous book and his path to recognition was his autobiography 'Way of the Peaceful Warrior'. He is also known for his Human Potential movement alongside Anthony Robbins.

Anthony Robbins, also knows as Tony Robbins, suffered many hardships in life when his mother divorced and remarried twice. He took on the last name of his second father. Later in life he was diagnosed with a tumor of the brain, thus resulting in abnormal growth spurts and his large hands and feet. His bestselling books like 'Awaken the Giant Within' are a tribute to this legend.

“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” - Anthony Robbins

“There's always a way - if you're committed.” - Anthony Robbins


Hilary Hinton 'Zig' Ziglar, is one of the most successful motivational speakers in America. When at a tender age, his father, a successful businessman, passed away, Ziglar was in terms 'a reborn Christian'. An ardent football fan, he also teaches students in a Baptist Church apart from his main business of being one of the most successful speakers of America.

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.” - Zig Ziglar

“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want” - Zig Ziglar

Bullied by everybody he contemplated suicide by age 10. That is when he realized that his story was an inspiration to many and he proceeded to go to college and by the age of 21 began his travails as a motivation speaker.

“I used to think that I needed my circumstance to change before I had any hope. I wanted to know that there was someone else out there in my position, to know that there is hope, that there is more than just the little box that I see in my life.” - Nick Vujicic

"There is a secret psychology of money. Most people don't know about it. That's why most people never become financially successful. A lack of money is not the problem; it is merely a symptom of what's going on inside of you." - T. Harv Eker

"On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest, imagine you are a person with a level 2 strength of character and attitude looking at a level 5 problem. Would this problem appear to be big or little? From a level 2 perspective, a level 5 problem would seem like a big problem. Now imagine you’ve grown yourself and become a level 8 person. Would the same level 5 problem be a big problem or a little problem? Magically, the identical problem is now a little problem. Finally, imagine that you’ve really worked hard on yourself and become a level 10 person. Now, is this same level 5 problem a big problem or a little problem? The answer is that it’s no problem. It doesn’t even register in your brain as a problem. There’s no negative energy around it. It’s just a normal occurrence to handle, like brushing your teeth or getting dressed." - T. Harv Eker 

John Maxwell is an internationally respected leadership expert, speaker, and author who has sold more than 18 million books.
