Summary: Great Book -- Good Tape
Review: Having read the book many times and resently purchasing the book on tape I preferred the book. The tape is only a small part of the book. I will grant that it covers two of the best parts, but a tape covering the whole book would have been better.

Summary: Probably one of the best books I have ever owned!
Review: Not only do I have a copy of this book, but I have two, and keep one in my office. This book is so full of inspiritation, it helped me with the courage to start my own business. I highly recommend "The Magic of Thinking Big" to anyone! David J. Schwartz has also done a magnificent job in making it a real easy read!

Summary: Practical Magic for Success
Review: Just the first 2 chapters of this book are worth it's tiny price several thousand times over. If you don't know what "The Failure Disease" is, read chapter 2. If you know what to do, but are just too scared to do it, read chapter 3. If you want a whole new formula for success, read the whole enchilada.

Summary: It's simply unbelievable.
Review: Thanks to David J. Schwartz, his book totaly changed my life and I have never found any other book that gave me such an impact and influence. This is an absolute must for any professional, salesman, students and manager. It helps you reorient where you are in life and refocus your personal goals and dreams.

Summary: it could change your life the way it changed mine
Review: the tape is pretty good but the book is even better! Dr. Swartz was on the ball when he wrote this one. Reprinted many times now, it stands as a classic book in the sense that it makes you want to get off you tushy and get to work on your life. It is an easy and enjoyable read for anyone, whether they want to make a change or not, they will be effected by this book

Summary: I'll jump on that 5-star bandwagon!
Review: I could repeat everyone else's comments, or I could just give a quick overview of why I think you should read this book.This book is a must-read for any person serious about improving themselves as a manager, a husband or wife, a friend, or a person in general. There are a lot of mediocre self-help books out there, and its refreshing to go back and re-read The Magic of Thinking Big, which is one of the few that sets the standard. I would classify this at the same level as Think and Grow Rich and How to win Friends and Influence People. This is one of those rare books thats actually flawless, and thats why it gets 5 stars.

Summary: Best of its kind. Very effective simplicity. Napoleon who?
Review: It is always shady when you see someone using the usual cliché "This book has changed my life!". While I usually don't
take those comments seriously (too much money wasted in 'life-changing' books, I guess) I have to admit that sometimes
a particular book hits you with more impact than usual and after a couple of years some self-examination might leave you
with the impression that perhaps the author has indeed influenced your choice of paths more than you would have expected. This was the case with me and Dr. Schwartz's "Magic". I am not an intense fan of self-help and motivational literature,
but do read a title or two now and then. I have read many of the classics like Dale Carnegie's books (almost all), Napoleon Hill's "Think and grow rich", Covey's "The 7 habits of highly successful people" and others like "How to be a start at work",
"The power of positive thinking",Psychocybernetics" and many more that have sold millions, are mentioned everywhere and everybody seems to love. Maltz, Hill, the list goes on. The fact it that so far no book of this kind has proven to be as effective with me as this one. I
even felt I have wasted too much money. Not the case with this particular book. This is the kind of title where you read things you already know, you are after all mostly just looking for motivation. That extra push to get you going in particular moments when things aren't flowing as easily as you'd wish. And for that use, my preference goes to books that have an honest simplicity. This title isn't verbose, it isn't very technical or full or scholarship, perhaps even some of its examples are fully fictional. The truth is that I don't care about that, because it has proven very effective. If you are looking for something to motivate you (in any area), I suggest you try this title first. The effect with you might be quite different.
Perhaps Napoleon Hill's style suits you better (I truly disliked his books) or maybe some other author. But to many of us, Schwart'z approach is perfect. I first read this over a year ago, and can now look back and see certain aspects that were definitely made easier because if it. Overall, the only thing I regret is not having found this title much sooner in my life (I'm 27), but it will no doubt still prove useful for many years. As a side recommendation, I suggest you combine this with the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, or the more accessible "The Art of Virtue" also based on Franklin's words, Dale Carnegie and as much wisdom and self-examination as you can come up with. The results won't be magic, but I'm pretty sure the improvement will be easy to notice.

Summary: Eliminate those success blind spots
Review: Chapter 3 changed my life - got to start with this book while you are planning to climb the ladder of success in life. The best priviledge I have is lending out this book to people (as I have done it so many times) and see their lives starting to change for good! Catch the word in the title 'THINKING' and you have mastered the best success principle in life.

Summary: This book is the standard.
Review: This book started it all. Without a doubt one of the best book ever written. I just love it. This book is about realizing your potential as an individual, and it makes a wonderful companion to other books on the market. One such book is, "How to find your dream job and make it a reality: solutions for a rewarding and meaningful career" by Jason McClure. Of course, this book about realizing your career potential, which is very important. In his book Jason takes the complexity out of the job/career search, and makes it easy and doable, which is why I highly recommend Jason's book. If you buy any book as a complement to the "Magic of thinking big" I would recommend Jason's book. Both books are classics, and both books offer proven solutions.
