The Magic of Thinking Big

I enjoy reading this book about once every year or two. This time I listened to it and found it just as informative.

This is a great book for me. It definitely keeps me motivated on a daily basis. I love the examples and it provides great formulas for both professional and personal environments. If anyone is willing to move up in the world, and want to strategically make effective plans throughout their lives, it starts with this material.

I felt the information was very helpful and easy to incorporate into my life....Thanks...

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.

I came across a recommendation for the “The magic of thinking big” while reading the “4 hour workweek”. The first thing that struck me was the narrator – he seemed very enthusiastic, but also seemed to be older. The more I listened though the narration really seemed to be the perfect complement to the content of the book. There is a great deal of really good information in the book and it is delivered in such a quaint way that it is almost like listening to someone you trust giving advice. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, found the information to be very informative. I would say the content is more focused on motivational and somewhat less focused on entrepreneurial content. Dr Schwartz passed away nearly 30 years ago, and yet the messages he conveys are as relevant today as they were then. I would highly recommend this book.

There was nothing new to learn. Same as Think and grow Rich but in a simplified format. The whole book could have been written in one paragraph rather than several hours of just repeating the same thing over and over.

Yes, it was written in an engaging way.

Not sure if this is a business book. Comes across more as a self help book for seriously disadvantaged individuals. Like Tim Robbins for kids.

This is not a new book itself and there is not a lot new in the book that wasn't covered over 70 years ago by Dale Carnegie and Napoleon Hill. BUT, this book puts it all together in a very concise and actionable package. The performance of the book is interesting, with alternative narrators cutting in to tell stories to give examples. Overall, I found this to be an extremely useful and actionable book. I wish I had read it when it originally came out, but, as Schwartz points out, it is never too late to put the principles into action!

The concept of Thinking Big is a great one, but let me sum this book up in two phrases and save you the 5 hours this book demands. "Think Big. Achieve more."

That's aboutit

Sorry, but this one was boring with stuff commonly heard elsewhere.

The Magic of Thinking Big delivers a good, positive message; however, the presentation and material fall far short of anything "big." The soundbites between sections are more of an annoyance than pleasantry and the material leaves the listener with only vague generalities to cling to. I found the overall message positive and not to be a waste of time; however, you could listen to 15 minutes of Dr. Laura and come away with more concrete practices and lessons.
