Awesome, you won't be the same after listening.

Zig is one of the best speakers I've ever listened to. He provides sound advice while mixing it with humor. I highly recommend his books.

Very Motivational

This was a great listen. You've got to love Zig! His stories and humor mix nicely with his simple message. I subscribe to his philosophy of making small, incremental changes that eventually lead to a long-term success habit.

7 Habits and The Toyota Way are my next listens!

Good stuff, Zig!

A Must Have!

This is Zig at his best! This is an earlier recording that I believe is more motivating than most. As Zig got older, he slowed down in his speech and excitement. The content was still there but not at the same level of excitement.

Motivating — positive — clarifying

This is absolutely my favorite, motivational audio. Whenever I’m down or not thinking positively, I can put this on and it completely turns my mood around. It’s simply let me see the positive and then clarifies what I need to do or what change I need to make.

I didn't love it 👎

This was my 1st time hearing Zig's material and honestly I don't get the hype. Was not impressed.
