One Statement MADE My Life

I'll keep it simple. I took the advice 'Be a Front Seater' from this book, and went from being a sit-at-the-back, never-volunteer guy to becoming a person consulted by government on legislation affecting private investigators; writing two books; getting the job I always wanted; and many other things.

If that one piece of advice can have such impact, imagine the effect of the rest! BUY IT - and live a new life by taking action on the content.

The pioneer

This book seems to be one of the pioneers to the current trend on learning and applying The Law of Attraction principles. Here the author shows you how to believe to succeed. Excellent book and similar to my favorite, [[ASIN:1419674609 Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook]which gives you a current approach and application to find what you are looking for.

The Magic of Thinking BIG

This book has been one of the biggest influences for me in my life. "Thoughts, positive or negative, grow stronger when fertilized with constant repetition." Readers quickly begin to see the connection between worrying and actual misfortune as something they have control over. Thinking positively and not letting yourself be limited by negativity and skepticism has amazing effects on your life and who you see youself as, and it affects who you will become. Read this book if you at all concerned with achieving your goals no matter how BIG they are.

Excellent Book, for adults and kids

This is a great book, and one of the handful of 'fundamentals' books that should be read by people of all ages, regardless of profession. The earlier in life this book can be read (or listened to) the better, as it is critical to the building blocks of positioning life for success. It is easy to follow, understand, and has excellent tools/techniques that can be applied immediately. Probably a book that should be reviewed again every couple years. Along the lines of the 7 Habits of highly effective people by Covey, this book is another key read for strategy of life.

Sells you on your own BIGness...

It is commonly said in the world of persuasion that
"Facts tell, stories sell". Many personal development
books follow this axiom. The authors of these
books appear to be following a familiar model
in order to sell us, the readers, on their ideas.

What do third-party stories do? what is their
purpose? Is it that we derive a sense of social
proof or veracity from a story told about somebody
else by a narrator who may or may not be reliable?

"The Magic of Thinking Big" follows a model similar to
"How To Win Friends and Influence People" -
brief illustrative stories which are held up as
proof for the author's theories about what makes
people successful with other people.

At the end of each chapter of this book there is
a brief recap of the lessons in the chapter. This
is a useful feature because you can read the
lessons the stories illustrate quickly this way.

It's quite a good book. It was written in 1959 and
the formula wasn't new then and it's certainly
been immitated hundreds of times since - and
writing a book of straightforward ideas about success
padded out with anecdotal stories seems to be a proven
model for establishing oneself as a personal development
guru or motivational speaker.

I haven't written a book about the topic yet but
if I do I'll be sure to immitate the formula
of this one - apparently it's a good way to sell
a lot of books or at least be perceived as
an authority.

Worth reading but more or less interchangible
with countless other titles. It's a classic because
a lot of people have read it. The strategies
aren't particularly out-of-date or hard to get
your mind around.

A useful book worth reading if you haven't read
many of these types of books or if you want to
read all the classic ones.
