5.0 out of 5 starsBest of the Best
By Ben Leung on May 26, 2000
Format: Paperback
If you're new to Zig Ziglar books and tapes, than this is one I highly recommend for starters. It summarizes all of Zig's 70 plus years of experience and is layed down in a format that is simple and easy to understand. It also includes most of the material that is covered in other of Zig's bestselling books, such as Over the Top, How to be a Winner and so on. It's a book truly worth owning!.

5.0 out of 5 starsI felt lost in my career until I found this book!
By A Customer on March 20, 2003
Format: Paperback
I decided to check this book out of the library at a time in my life when I couldn't decide what I wanted to do in life. I had been out of college for two years, and couldn't seem to find a job in my field since I moved to Ga., despite my interviews. I was exploring different fields related to Special Ed. It sounds weird but, somehow while reading this book, I just knew what I was suppossed to be doing. Due to the series of questions he asked you about your goals. I highly reccomend this book to any one who can't decide where to go in life. Zig, told me that I wasn't really "lost" I just needed to find some direction in life. He was so right! I guess I just needed someone to tell me to wake up and decide what I was going to do with the rest of my life instead fo just subing all the time. Ironically, enough he guided me back on track to Special Ed, when I read the story about the man who found himself going back to the same career he used to do. I guess I just needed someone to tell me that for my life to feel on track, I needed to enroll in the TAPP (teacher alternative program), and be a Special Ed teacher instead of just being the aid like always. I really feel like God wanted me to find this book at this time in my life. True, Zig is relgious, but even if you aren't I feel like anyone could benift from his book. It has quite a few "duh" moments that a lot of people never think of. I have been hearing about Zig ever since I was like 9 or 10 and had always wanted to go to his seminars, but never had the chance. It is so true about what people think about him! Thanks Zig!

4.0 out of 5 starsWell rounded approach to success
By A Customer on May 18, 2003
Format: Paperback
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?

5.0 out of 5 starsA complete book on success.
By Adam Khan VINE VOICE on December 12, 1999
Format: Paperback
Zig covers all the bases in this book. Full of good stories and solid principles, Success For Dummies is worth reading and re-reading. It is laid out like all the Dummies books, so you can read small portions at a time, or browse through it and read what you want for now. It's fun to read and teaches a lot. I thought it was a surprisingly big book for only 17 dollars! I'm the author of the book, Self-Help Stuff That Works, and I can tell you, as an expert in the field, Zig teaches what works!

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is not only helpful, but entertaining.
By A Customer on June 7, 1998
Format: Paperback
I did not purchase this book necessarily because I was searching for success, but because I knew it would be an interesting read. I truly enjoyed reading Success For Dummies because it was entertaining and helpful at the same time. Some self-help books are packed with too much information, too many strategies or just not arranged in a readable fashion. I knew I could rely on the For Dummies publishers to present the information in a way that would keep me reading. Zig Ziglar brings the reader in and through anecdotal evidence from his own life, convinces the reader he too, can succeed. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is on the road to success and needs a little encouragement and entertainment along the way.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood book, but not in the "For Dummies" format
By R. G. May VINE VOICE on October 6, 2003
Format: Audio Cassette
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.
