Good, sound, practical life lessons. AMAZING STUFF

Where does The Magic of Thinking Big rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As a self-help books go, I thought this was one of the best ones I have come across in a long time. It is absolutely worth reading, not once or twice, but as a handy guide.
I've recommended this book to family and close friends.

What did you like best about this story?

Practical advice that is easy to apply right there and then.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I read the book a few days before a job interview. The paradigm shift in the way I valued my abilities gave me the confidence to boldly ask for more money... Yes, I got the job offer and a pretty handsome bump in my salary... and all because I dared to Think Big.

One of the best books I read

I loved this book, from the beginning to the end. The author gives great advices for every day life, some might sound not new to hear, though I think are very practical and useful.
If someone is going through a difficult time, I would recommend to listen to this book. It helps to think clear, in a positive way, it seems gives some encouragement, everyone can succeed if wants to succeed. The book doesn't teach or preach some abstract concepts, it is actually about common sense and good habits.

Schwartz wasn’t thinking big when he wrote this book.

Aiming the book at men and nothing but men was quite small minded of Schwartz. Every sentence refers to males, no mention of female business owners or female CEOs, and mostly aimed at US citizens. Try thinking bigger next time

LOVED IT!

This book is great. I listen to it repeatedly and the principles go deeper into subconscious each time. if you have issues with resistance and self sabotage, however, then it would be better to start with, or also get, something like Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza. I also REALLY like the narrator's voice and reading style a LOT.

Best self help book bar far

I've read many self help books but this is by far the most useful and impactful I have come across. Many simple ways to improve your outlook and attitude which ultimately increase your chance of success in the short, medium and long term. I can immediately relate to how changing some of my attitudes and approaches to daily work and life in general will improve my outputs and general well being and, I believe, my long run goals and success. I may listen to this once again straight away, it's that good. Don't hesitate to listen to this book if you're interested in investing in yourself.

a great book to help you think big and this can help you

I enjoyed listening to this audio book, but this book gave me ideas for my sales and marketing business, kept me motivated, this book have brought me ideas to use for the future, I highly recommend listening to this voice as it very relaxing while I sleep, when I woke up still listening new ideas popped into my head. But I love listening to audio because while you listen , you can compare it to your own reality, buy the book and listen to the audio

A lot of content for little value

The book focuses on the power of having a positive mental attitude. Admittedly a very powerful tool! I think the book has some great points and tricks of how to use a Positive attitude to progress, however the book could quite easily been condensed into articles that you can readily find online.

My largest irritation is how most examples concentrate on men in the work place, this outdated referencing made me wonder how outdated some of the principles in the book are.

All in all, save your time and find a condensed version of the book or articles around the key themes.
