Critic reviews

Think big!

An exeptional book which will challenge your core, your deepest ideas, your desperate whys. You have what it takes to grow, learn expand and achieve your dreams. A great way to start is simply by thinking big! ^_^

Great book!

It was worth the purchase and will listen to it over and over! It just that good and it's a classic

Great buy!

It was worth while to listen to this audio book as I'm embarking on a self improvement journey. I'd listen again.

Great classic! Highly recommend it!

I really loved every bit. I could do without the cheesy old school sounds throughout but other than that there was tremendous insight and valuable knowledge shared!

Motivating

I loved it! "if you think you are strong, you are. If you think you are weak, you are." This book not only changed the way I think but also the way I act. I have a purpose when I got to my job everyday because I know my outcome and where I will be years from now. My parents always told me had they made a goal to be millionaires and not just a goal to make half a million they would have surpassed that goal. Recommending this book to everyone I know.

Great summary of the principles of success

The audio book was engaging and I especially enjoyed the dramatization as it helps one connect with the message in a much more simpler and human way. I found the book to cover most of the success princples I've read if in other self development types of books. I highly recommend it!

The practical application and implementation of the information. Based on the experience of those sharing

I like all of it!!! I’m buying the hard copy today! Looking forward to reading and applying the tools of thinking Big to my whole life

The extra push I needed to hear

Being an overwhelmed entrepreneur running a business and sustaining my family, I've already listened to this audiobook 3 times in 7 days. It's like fuel for the brain. Such simple, practical concepts yet they make so much sense in the way he describes them. This audio book differs from others in the sense that it provides specific action items along the way. He literally says "here's what to do about it" and lists steps. Awesome.

I will listen to this weekly for months to come. Already have seen an increase in productivity and motivation. And best of all, an increase in income.

For the record, I've also listened to: Think and Grow Rich, The Law of Success, The Science of Getting Rich, the 4 hour work week and the E-Myth revisited. This adds to the collection perfectly. If you're a business owner or someone who simply wants to "level up" in life, definitely get this book.

Tittle is not accurate

The book has good content, but due to it’s title I expected more content about thinking big, and not so much about success patterns.

Ole Reliable

Ignore the old-school FX and the decent audio quality. If you can do that, you'll find this to a be a great way to recharge your confidence!

Often, I'll retreat back to this audiobook when I'm not feeling great, and the tips and stories revive my soul. It also helps to hear Mr. Schwartz's voice. He sounds like a funny, helpful, and honest human being. Very personable, which is an advantage for self-help audiobooks. I choose this over Napoleon Hill any day.
