| The Magic of Thinking Big by Fireside Changed My Life |
The Magic Of Thinking Big is coming up on its 50 year anniversary, but the wisdom in its pages resonates timelessly. A lot of what is contained in this book is what some would call common sense. If you were blessed with an environment that treated this information as common sense, you are lucky. For the rest of us that read this material, we will have our thinking altered drastically. I have become aware of a gap between what is taught in textbooks and a lot of what one experiences in "the real world." That information is contained in this book. In school attitude is often touted, but seldom taught. In fact, my first thought after finishing this was "why is this stuff not taught in schools?" I know of no other book that will ease the transition from awkward adolescence to the dog-eat-dog world of adulthood better than The Magic Of Thinking Big. Oh, what could have been if I'd been handed this book when I was 12 or 13. You may have to adapt some of the dated examples and tips on dress to your situation, but by and large these principles will help you live a better life. I recommend this book to anyone who is sick of the status quo, wants to move up the corporate ladder, or just wants some understanding in how the world works. One of the most helpful books I have ever read, period.
Also, a lot of people have contrasted this book to Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends... For what it's worth, I feel that each book has its place and that different personalities will relate to one book better than the other. For my part, I found Magic Of Thinking Big more helpful and easier to read than Carnegie's book. That's not to demean How To Win Friends... because I know people who have been drastically changed by that book, too. Both books have proven helpful to many people. That doesn't mean that one is better or worse than the other, they're just like vanilla and chocolate ice cream; two different flavors of the same stuff. |
| The Magic of Thinking Big by Fireside Same old stuff |
| If you have never read or heard any of this type of material in the past, then this book may be worthwhile. I felt that this book really lacked content in terms of managing our thinking and applying thinking principles to acheive success; the book mearly illustrates that thinking big is a pre-cursor to acting big, then it goes into a repackaged presentation of Dale Carnegie material - dealing with people. |
| The Magic of Thinking Big by Fireside A pep talk with no examples. |
Not one example of anybody doing anything. A bunch of general statements saying do this and do that. Saying THINK CREATIVELY for example is a great idea but how about the name of someone who did it and what resulted.
A book like Dale Carnegie gives principles and ideas backed by peoples names and the results of their actions.

"Think Big and you'll live big. You'll live big in happiness. You'll live big in accomplishment. Big in income. Big in friends. Big in respect... Start now, right now, to discover how to make your thinking make magic for you. Start out with this thought of the great philosopher Disraeli: "Life is too short to be little."" ~ David J. Schwartz from "The Magic of Thinking Big"
Ahhh... The MAGIC of thinking BIG. That's a fun topic.
Are you thinking big? You better if you plan to be big.
This book deserves a spot on your top list. It's written in some old school language (originally published in 1959) but still carries some big mojo that's worth checking out--no matter the field in which you want to get "big"--be it in business or your bank account or your relationships or even your spirituality.
Schwartz' wisdom echoes all the greats and if you're committed to living your highest and biggest life, this is pretty darn close to a must read. |
