5.0 out of 5 stars Great overview of Zig's life, February 5, 2008

By	Blaine Greenfield "eclectic reader" (Belle Meade, NJ) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Zig Ziglar's SEE YOU AT THE TOP was the first book
on personal leadership that I ever read . . . I still have my copy
and refer to it from time to time.

Since then, I've read just about everything else the man
has written and/or presented (via cassette and CD programs) . . . he
has long been one of the individuals I've admired most and it has
been one of the thrills of my life to have heard him a few times
in person.

So when I came across ZIG: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF
ZIG ZIGLAR, I jumped at the opportunity to hear it . . . it tells
of his humble beginnings and quite candidly, tells of his
failures too . . . he doesn't hold back and when he shares
the story of his daughter's death, you'll be moved to tears
as I was I was when I heard his rendition that obviously
had him also teary-eyed.

I loved how he talked lovingly of his wife, "the redhead," who
like him, "isn't perfect" . . . and that's a good thing because
as Ziglar recounts, if she were, "she never would have chosen me."

I also got a kick out of how he realized that he had to move into
a home in Dallas that he really couldn't afford at the time . . . however,
to rationalize it, he broke the transaction into a cost per
day figure (something he has shown me how to use in many
of his other works) and as he notes, "Would you give $1.70 a day
to get a happier wife?"

Lastly, it was fun sharing the joys in his life, such as when he
visited with the Pope . . . or when he was honored for the
help he has given countless others . . . I only regret that I
have never had the opportunity to also express my appreciation.

I found this book really great!
Zig Ziglar is one of my favorite speakers and I always find him entertaining too.

In this biography you get closer to Zig as you experience his ups and downs and I really apprreciated the importance he puts on his relationship with his wife. He really does walk his talk!
