Shouldn't their be a PDF accompaniment?

Any additional comments?

He often references handouts and supplementary materials that are "included". I understand this is a compilation of past programs, but it loses a lot of value when we are not able to reference these materials.

Some good stuff, but repetitive

What did you like best about Zig Ziglar’s Leadership & Success Series? What did you like least?

Zig has a lot of good points to make and does so with humor and stories. Unfortunately, this audiobook is a collection of recordings from a variety of souces and it is quite repetitive. It got tiresome to hear the exact same stories and the same jokes told multiple times. The repeated stories should have been edited out.

If you’ve listened to books by Made for Success and Zig Ziglar before, how does this one compare?

Where it's not repetitive, it's pretty good. I would say also that the subject matter is often not about leadership, or it's a force fit to make the matter about leadership.

What aspect of Zig Ziglar’s performance would you have changed?

I liked the energy of the live recordings; the studio interviews are not as strong.

Did Zig Ziglar’s Leadership & Success Series inspire you to do anything?

It was a good refresher on certain aspects about being successful.

Lessons from a Master motivator

What made the experience of listening to Zig Ziglar’s Leadership & Success Series the most enjoyable?

The use of humor to get his point across; insights into hard and smart work. Mr. Ziglar shares stories from his own past and the examples of others to help illustrate the points he makes.

Would you recommend Zig Ziglar’s Leadership & Success Series to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book to my friends. Now, some of my friends see 'success' as a matter of luck or fate--and surely there is an element of luck/fate that plays a role. However, "fate favors the prepared mind"... as one famous golfer put it (I think it was Lee Trevino, but not sure) "Golf is a game of luck... the harder I work, the luckier I get." Mr. Ziglar talks about the mental attitude and habits that you can adopt that can greatly improve your chances at success (whether 'success' financially, socially, personally, or however the listener would define 'success').

What does Zig Ziglar bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He has good timing, rate, and vocal inflection that helps communicate his point. I also enjoyed the energy that he brings to his delivery... his sincerity and enthusiasm helps communicate the message more than just reading the words. I also liked that I could listen to it while out hiking or in my car during the commute...:)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was... it is a long book. I listened to much of it during a long hike... and the rest during my commute one day. I will listen to it again... of that I have no doubt.

Any additional comments?

I have often heard of Zig Ziglar. After listening to this book, I would consider him to be a cross between the traditionalist beliefs and examples of Napoleon Hill, and the energy and personalized delivery of Anthony Robbins...:) I plan on getting some more of his books to listen to in the future...:)

Often repetitive...

While i like the simple motivation and illustrations of the author, i found the Series, which encompasses several of his talks, was rather repetitive and maybe knowing this i would have found a way to get the specific talks i wanted. hope this helps.

So inspiring!

The stories Zig Ziglar tells & his inspiring way of teaching is well worth the time. I have loved listening to this on my walks. Thank you!

Robert's review

This is a great book from Zig Ziglar. A must have for your collection on personal growth in the work place. He explains his knowledge on the work place so very well. Easy to follow and very entertaining.

I've listened to this audio book dozens of times

Zig Ziglar speaks the truth in such an entertaining way that it's easy to listen to and he's great to learn from. I've listened to this series of talks dozens of times and I'm still not tired of them. Great life lessons that when embraced and used can only change ones life for the better.

Motivation

Although a bit repititous and yes, Ziglar has a very thick accent, I found this to be a very motivational collection of speeches. I have listen to and read many books on leadership & motivation and learned quite a few new things in this book.

Thank you Zig

eye opening, thought provoking, good tools for improving day to day life in all areas

Best Leadership and Success series!

I have been reading and listening to audio self-help, and leadership programs for 17 years. Zig Ziglar is by far the best motivational speaker!
