A View From The Top

Summary: a primitive narrow minded perspective
Review: If there were many people who thought like Mr. Ziglar, the world would have been a much less free world. You and I would have been judged constantly by narrow minded people like the author for our beliefs and our way of being. I do not think this book can stimulate even a twelve year old and thank God it doesn't! We need less of these kinds lackluster mind sets at power not more. Here is an expression of a covertly judgmental and prejudice mind in full action.

Summary: Another good one by Zig Ziglar!
Review: SEE YOU AT THE TOP by Zig Ziglar was the first positive thinking book I ever read . . . I still remember his philosophy: "You can get anything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want."

Since then, I've read and/or heard many similar books--including just about everything else by Ziglar . . . so when I saw something new by him (A VIEW FROM THE TOP, a taped production), I jumped at the opportunity to hear it . . . my only regret: that it's been too long since I last visited with Zig.

It may take you a bit of time to get used to his folksy style, but please do stick with it . . . you won't be disappointed.

He has many worthwhile ideas to share, such as:
Success is not enough. Your next step is to move to significance.

You don't have to be great to start, but you've got to start to be great.

Read wherever you are; e.g., in a doctor's office, supermarket line, etc. Always have reading material with you.

The two most important things a husband or wife can say to each other: 1. I love you; and 2. I believe in you.

If you have a dream, don't way "no way." Instead, say, "Why can't I?"

Put your heart into something; the rest will follow.

Think about what you want your obituary to say.

You'll have real joy when you see somebody that you've helped become successful.

In addition, I liked the story he told about the success of both the Penn State and Notre Dame football programs . . . the two have more graduates on pro football teams than any other
two colleges . . . they are also the only two major colleges that don't put the names of players on the back of their uniforms.

And his story of Lou Holtz really struck home . . . when Holtz was the Notre Dame coach, 11 of his assistants left to take better head coaching jobs elsewhere . . . so what was in it
for Holtz? He felt that the best coaches not already working for him would flock to do so, and they did . . . and when they came to work for him, they would bring along their respective
contacts and help Notre Dame get even better players.

Summary: A motivator with substance!
Review: This 6 CD series is packed with life changing goodies. Zig revelas openly the pitfalls and hurts of his own life in order to show how what he is teaching is real, and something he's experienced first hand. Anthony Roberts can't hold a candle to Zig Ziglar's common sense strategies to positive life-change. Without the "giant's" hype, Zig makes plain the steps one must take to achieve your dreams and goals, not just get you excited.

Zig is unashamedly Christian. Zig makes it clear what his beliefs are, and is one of the few speakers who is enlightened enough to know that the Spiritual side of life can't be ignored if we are to be truly successful in life. Some people may not like his openness. Well stop being so narrow minded and bigoted. If you can't handle someone sharing his/her faith with you, you're not going to get far in life.

Grab this series, it will change your life.

Summary: Words of wisdom from Zig
Review: Zig Ziglar in a more relaxed style. He goes into detail about key events that have shaped his beliefs. The ultimate motivator of people is still creating great work. WARNING: Zig has strong views and a strong deep south accent BUT if you know and love Zig this is a fantastic CD set to add to your collection.

Summary: zig tries, but doesn't make it for me
Review: zig ziglar is a well-meaning individual i can see--i guess, but he is unenlightened and speaks from both sides of his mouth. he purports to be a supporter of christianity in every way, yet is very self-righteous, moralistic and judgmental. he is the "OLD STYLE" --the very attitude which perpetuates the negative associations many people have with anything spiritual. he makes comments about other religions which would alienate people of those faiths, so, are anything but christian. i was turned off. there were parts in which i found myself crying and really enjoyed some of it, but overall it was a bad experience. i wish i would have known more detail about this and about him before i spent my money on it. zig is a popular man-which is why i ordered this audiobook- however, "what is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular" and zig proves it. but, he's only human after all like the rest of us... i will do more research from now on, on everything i order!
