When the great story teller uses his sense of humor, you cannot do anything except surrender.

Like most Ziglar's books, this one is full of life's lesson and what's more interesting is in the end of each lesson, there is a little joke attached. So you not only will smile but also cannot help to have a good laugh.

It's the best read after a long day work and guaranteed you go to bed with a big smile.

I read the stories from Something to Smile About on a semi-regular basis to my eighth grade students and have them reflect on the stories in their writing journals. I am happy to say that they are positively influenced by Mr. Ziglar's stories, in both word and action.

Zig has truly compiled a collection of excellent stories that are not only uplifitng, but can surely inspire any reader to face each day prepared to overcome obstacles they may face, or think they are about to. During one of the most difficult periods of my life, I found myself reading at least one of the stories in this book as part of a daily ritual that enabled me to face certain hurdles couragiously with a renewed energy needed to maintain a positive mental attitude. It is very easy for any of us to strole through life and struggle with situtations that seemingly set us back when we are trying to get ahead. "Something to Smile About" offers a daily dose of inspiration that reminds us many others have had to overcome insurmountable obstacles and have survived. All of the stories have the potential to inspire us to convert what appear to be set backs in our lives into growth opportunities. I am obligated send copies of this book to my friends as a source of inspiration to help them confidently overcome the challenges they may face in their own personal lives.

This book was a great balance of motivation and inspiration that only Zig can do. - DaveDavidson.com

I find this book a little bit boring but some parts of this book are quite good. This book didn't put much smile on my face. Sorry Mr. Ziglar ....
