 Watch out! August 14, 2008
This is the first review I have written, but I felt that I should warn the public. This audiobook is awful. I have over 40 self-training audiobooks from all the top names and this one is last on the list. This is the only audiobook I have ever stopped listening to.
It's not that the content is useless, but the presentation is like reading a to-do list of things to mention without going into any interesting detail about any one of them. He will say things like "try to see things from the other person's point of view" "work to smile when uncomfortable" "concentrate on how you could do it better" Sure that is good advice, but the 3/4 I stomached was like listening to a series of fortune cookie lines.
I'd suggest work from Tony Robbins, Earl Nightengale, David Bach, Robert Allen and Zig Ziglar if you want to get your money's worth.
 Motivational but take it with some salt July 28, 2008

Do you ever feel that constant growth is sustainable? That by the constant struggle for more, shinier, bigger things, that people are just exercising greed? Well some words of caution with this book. In one point I even read something along the lines of 'refuse to look back at bad events'. Sounds like a river in Egypt to me (think about it).
I do agree with some of the authors words, about making excuses for yourself not following through, but to me, it read like the words of someone who is finding more efficient ways to knock his way through a jungle without knowing where he's going.
 Essential Reading for Success in Any Endeavor July 26, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Rating self help/achievement books for me comes down to three critical factors; introducing new or profound principles, lasting affect, and quality of writing. Few if any books rate high among all three, but those that come close are immensely valuable.
The Magic of Thinking Big achieves high marks across all three of these elements as it illustrates the success mindset better than any book I have read, it resonates with me years after my initial reading due to an abundance of inspirational nuggets, and the writing style will leave any reader motivated and rightly confident.
The Magic of Thinking Big focuses on the mindset required to become successful in any venture. Acquiring the proper attitude and developing successful habits unquestionably represents the first and most critical step in any success. Where many books on the topic offer nothing more than basic pep talks and "you can do it" attitudes, Schwartz does an admirable job presenting a logical account expressing why the use of fundamental motivation and action habits are based on a focused state of mind.
Schwartz bestows a couple of my favorite quotes in this book as well:
"Study the lives of successful people and you will discover this: all the excuses made by the mediocre fellow could be but aren't made by the successful person"
and
"A man is not doing much until the cause he works for possesses all there is of him".
Both these quotes resonate with every successful person I have encountered and give a mere taste for the pages of valuable content in this book. I recommend The Magic of Thinking Big as the initial book to anyone seeking to find success in any endeavor.
 Believing In Magic May 24, 2008
For a book that is nearly 50 years old, the formula behind David J. Schwartz's "The Magic of Thinking Big" is great for any person who is struggling to get over the frustrations of being stuck in a rut and wanting to step up to the plate and take a chance.
Schwartz's words are not new. You can hear very similar themes from authors past and present, like Dale Carnegie, Brian Tracy, and Tony Robbins. But if the words aren't resonating from other authors, the delivery in "The Magic of Thinking Big" gives you simple and easy steps to follow to get you to think big things, and then do big things.
An Enduring Classic May 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Magic of Thinking BIG by David J. Schwartz is a well-respected self-development classic. Written in the 1950's it still makes good common sense today. The practical things in life don't change much with time - like the basic principles for achieving success and living up to your full potential.
My copy of The Magic of Thinking Big has yellowed pages, sticky notes all over it, pink highlighted sentences on almost every page and yet, every time I take it down from shelf it's like opening a new wealth of information. I even remember exactly when and where I bought it. To me, that says a lot about the importance this book has had on my personal and professional self-development life.
In fact, I listened to the CD last night to help get me ready for writing this review and I took four pages of notes. One thing I've found with the classic self-development materials, every time I read or listen to them for the second, fifth or even tenth time I found something new I'd never read or heard before.
A really good empowering book/tape/CD/DVD should be read, listened to, watched and appreciated more than once. Every time we revisit a classic, we are in a different emotional and physical place than the first or second time we read, listened or watched it. It's like as we grow and evolve, so do the materials in the book.
That's how I felt about listening to The Magic of Thinking BIG by David J. Schwartz last night. I heard things I swear weren't there before. The words in the book hadn't changed, I had. The human mind is a powerful success and self-development tool and that's exactly the powerful premise of this book.
According to David J. Schwartz, it's really quite simple - if you want more out of your life, than think bigger. What makes this book a self-development/success classic? The success principles that have proven workable and viable for over fifty years and, are still true today: To make it big in life, you can't settle for small thinking.
Your life today is a reflection of how BIG you're allowing yourself to think, dream and plan. Dr. Schwartz guides you through The Magic of Thinking Big but the rest is up to you.
I highly recommend this book for your success/self-development library. I wish for you that your copy becomes dog-eared and yellowed. When you take to heart the concepts in this book, your life will be BIGGER than ever.
