Rating:  Summary: Earth to Zig... Review: The author states that one can get what one wants by helping others get what they want. He not from big city, is he?

Rating:  Summary: Required reading Review: There are a few books I think should be required reading for school children. This book is one of them. Not only should this book be required reading in schools, but in corporations as well. I would hope that reading would lead to study, and then application of the principals Zig presents. As Zig states early in the book, you don't have to apply what he is going to share. But it is of immense value to at least consider what he shares. Please take the time to read this book at least once. It will be worth many times what you spend.
Rating:  Summary: Well rounded approach to success Review: This book covers all areas of life that people need to address to be successful. I appreciated his coverage of the importance of spirituality. Although he is a mainstream Christian, he makes clear that spirituality can be found in other religions as well. The only thing I disagreed with were his comments about obedience being vital to success. I don't believe in absolute obedience. Obdience to organizations and authority figures should be relative. For example, if you have a religious authority figure who wants you to do something unethical or immoral, you should follow your conscience and remain obedient to God's law as found in the Bible. Human beings do not deserve absolute obedience as they are imperfect and prone to mistakes. Also, I thought he used too many examples of famous people in sports as positive examples. I do not play golf and couldn't care less about sports, but I still tried to find the positive in his statements (such as the value of personal integrity, the value of working together as a team, etc.) Is the person who is not rich or famous unsuccessful?
Rating:  Summary: Extremely Comprehensive Review: This book is amazing. Zig concentrates on the most important aspects of success. He gives good guidlines and flawless examples. A must Buy. PS/Say if this review was helpfull or not
Rating:  Summary: Success for Dummies Review: This book is an incredible pile of transparent, self-righteous, right wing extremist propaganda. It is a shame that a publisher that normally produces books that are so universally useful should come out with something like this. It advocates Christianity (use the bible as your business guide) and sexual abstinence as requirements for success. It uses pathetic examples and gives no real practical advice. You got to read this to believe what trash it is. A book that truly challenges the 1st Amendment! Pity I had to give it a star.
Rating:  Summary: Earth to Zig... Review: This book is an inspirational roadmap in a well balanced and successful life. Zig Ziglar draws upon a wealth of personal experience to illustrate the importance of balancing the various parts of out lives to attain to true success, not just material success. The fault I find with this book is that its subject matter is not a good fit for the "For Dummies" format. Success in life is not a subject you can pick and choose, which is the essence of the "For Dummies" concept. This is a good book, but be prepared to read it cover to cover to derive the greatest benefit.
