Summary: I Won More Than Once!
Review: After visiting Zig Ziglar.com and signing up for a free newletter, I entered a contest. What I won was more than just a free book. It was Mr. Ziglar's "Success for Dummies". No matter where you are in life, if your not satisfied - this is the book for you. He doesn't just entertain and lift your spirits and expectations(and he does this thoroughly), he gives you the pattern to fulfill your plan. God Bless Zig Ziglar - I am now living the plan.

Summary: Well rounded approach to success
Review: I decided to check this book out of the library at a time in my life when I couldn't decide what I wanted to do in life. I had been out of college for two years, and couldn't seem to find a job in my field since I moved to Ga., despite my interviews. I was exploring different fields related to Special Ed. It sounds weird but, somehow while reading this book, I just knew what I was suppossed to be doing. Due to the series of questions he asked you about your goals. I highly reccomend this book to any one who can't decide where to go in life. Zig, told me that I wasn't really "lost" I just needed to find some direction in life. He was so right! I guess I just needed someone to tell me to wake up and decide what I was going to do with the rest of my life instead fo just subing all the time. Ironically, enough he guided me back on track to Special Ed, when I read the story about the man who found himself going back to the same career he used to do. I guess I just needed someone to tell me that for my life to feel on track, I needed to enroll in the TAPP (teacher alternative program), and be a Special Ed teacher instead of just being the aid like always. I really feel like God wanted me to find this book at this time in my life. True, Zig is relgious, but even if you aren't I feel like anyone could benift from his book. It has quite a few "duh" moments that a lot of people never think of. I have been hearing about Zig ever since I was like 9 or 10 and had always wanted to go to his seminars, but never had the chance. It is so true about what people think about him! Thanks Zig!

Summary: This book is not only helpful, but entertaining.
Review: I did not purchase this book necessarily because I was searching for success, but because I knew it would be an interesting read. I truly enjoyed reading Success For Dummies because it was entertaining and helpful at the same time. Some self-help books are packed with too much information, too many strategies or just not arranged in a readable fashion. I knew I could rely on the For Dummies publishers to present the information in a way that would keep me reading. Zig Ziglar brings the reader in and through anecdotal evidence from his own life, convinces the reader he too, can succeed. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is on the road to success and needs a little encouragement and entertainment along the way.

Summary: Good, but the Christian stuff scares me
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a great motivater and any time I need a kick in the butt or am feeling down I pick up the book and get going. However, I was very put off by his constant references to Jesus Christ. It got a little preacher which put a bad taste in my mouth when I was trying to read the rest of the book. Too bad, otherwise I loved it.

Summary: Best of the Best
Review: If you're new to Zig Ziglar books and tapes, than this is one I highly recommend for starters. It summarizes all of Zig's 70 plus years of experience and is layed down in a format that is simple and easy to understand. It also includes most of the material that is covered in other of Zig's bestselling books, such as Over the Top, How to be a Winner and so on. It's a book truly worth owning!.

Summary: You don't need this book to be a success, but it might help
Review: In order to be successful, you need to determine first what success for you is. Don't let yourself be programmed by the consumeristic media about what success is. Zig Ziglar delves into this issue by making the point that success doesn't just mean being successful in one area of your life, like in your career. True success comes from living a well rounded life and being successful in all areas of your life from family and personal relationships, to self image to money and career. I believe that this is a good overall approach to take and I found the book interesting and informative on this front. I personally believe that people often take success too seriously. Self help is ok, but just don't get all bent out of shape about it. Do what you love to do and be the best person that you can be in life. Success is not an event, but a continuing process. Ziglar makes this point in the book as well. The one annoyance I have with this book is that the author uses religion to make some of his points. I am not religious in the traditional sense of the word, and felt that he could have made the same points without alienating people by bringing religion into it.
