Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Ziglar is one of the most prolific inspirational writers and speakers, with 11 books in several languages to his credit, writing self-help books, producing audiotapes, and conducting seminars before they were fashionable. His most popular titles are Zig Ziglar's Secrets of Closing the Sale (1984) and See You at the Top (1984). According to Ziglar, the key to success is the art of sustaining solid relationships with family and friends and at work. He has developed his theories over many years and shares them easily here. Ziglar believes that by creating goals and developing the right mental attitudes through positive visualization, success may be achieved in any environment. The easy format makes for fun reading, with many stories sprinkled throughout, though Ziglar's tone is sometimes preachy (as in the section on the war on drugs). Chapters may be read in order or separately. With the popular appeal of the "Dummies" series and Ziglar's name, this title will be in demand.?Lisa S. Wise, Broome Cty. P.L., Binghamton, NY

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best, May 26, 2000
By Ben Leung (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Success for Dummies (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 stars I felt lost in my career until I found this book!, March 20, 2003
This review is from: Success for Dummies (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 stars Well rounded approach to success, May 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Success for Dummies (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?
