Summary: From The Top
Review: I found Zig Zigar's 'See you at the top' to be a most pleasurable read. The book is well written and easy to digest. Zig conveys his lessons in the form of short stories and personal experiences, all of which are easy to relate to and easy to identify with. The book is a good motivation read. If you want to make a change in you're life or just looking for that little inspiration, this book will provide it. As an overview the book concentrates on building 'YOU', by looking at self-image, relationships, desire, achievement and proactive-ness amongst other things. The only bad point is that I found certain sections too be slightly too religion biased, but this does not really detract from a quality and an inspiration read. I will be recommending this too my friends as, I feel they too will benefit from this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best motivational tape I've ever heard
Review: I had the pleasure of hearing Zig Ziglar in person at a success 90 something seminar in Indianapolis, In. The audio cassette, See You at the Top is absolutely the best motivational tape I've ever heard. Zig has a knack for story telling and you can't help but fall in love with his southern charm. I have recommended this tape to dozens of co-workers and we are adding it to our current collection at work. You will more than get your money's worth on this one. I am planning on adding as many titles of Zig's to my personal collection as possible.

Summary: A Success book for those who value old fashioned virtues
Review: I read this book again "for the first time" (as an old commercial goes) and could not put it down. Zig's no-nonsense, old-fashioned approach to success is timeless! It is a worthwhile book to read for those who want to learn success from the soul outward. Some may consider the style and manner of this book as trite and arcane but in this day and age of guerilla business tactics this book is a still a breath of fresh air. This is one book you will come back to time and time again.

Summary: A bit too heavy on the "gospel"
Review: I read this book many years ago when I was in college and I wasnted re-read this version because it's been updated. I wish Hill's "Think And Grow Rich" and Carnegie's "How To Win Friends..." would do the same. They are better books than Zig's. Don't get me wrong "See You At The Top" is good. But it seems more gimicky given overuse of cutesy ryhmes. "Stinkin' Thinkin'", etc.

I didn't give it 5 stars because I feel he relies to much on telling other people's stories, instead of giving direct feedback and suggestions as to how to improve your life. The stories are nice but they are a lot of "filler".

Also he uses way too many "Jesus" anaolgies. A motivational book doesn't have to be so focused on Western Christianity. I'm not asking Zig to suppress his beliefs but he could have tried to be a little more understanding of the millions of readers who are not bible thumpers. There are many times in his book when he could have used a term like "Higher Power" instead of Jesus or even used examples from other world religions...since his book is in print in so many different languages.

If preachy or overly-religous story-telling is not your bag then skip this one and get one of the other books I mentioned above. Otherwise,this is a nice read.

Summary: A practical book suitable for everyone
Review: I really like this book because I learnt a lot from this book. Although this book is about philosophy, but only a little theory involved. The concept of this book is easy to understand. The main theme of this book is the six steps to the top. Here is the summary of the book:

Step 1 Self-image: If you have a positive image, you can do everything well.
Step 2 Your relationship with others: The way you see them is the way you treat them. So, you better find the ¡§good¡¨ in other people and in every situation.
Step 3 Goals: Everyone should have at least one goal. The goal should be fulfilled four requirements: i.Big Goals, ii. Goals must be Long-range, iii. Goals must be daily, iv.Goals must be specific.
Step 4 Attitude: A right mental attitude helps you to build a positive life attitude.
Step 5 Work: Most successful people are really enjoyed their job.
Step 6 Desire: People have their own desire will became more successful.

These 6 steps are really useful in our daily life. The concepts of this book are practical and positive. It teaches us how to built a better future. After I read this book, I really feel more confident to my work. It was because this book teaches us that we should believe the concept of ¡§I CAN¡¨. Once you believe in yourself, you can do everything well.

The only bad point of this book is too much emphasis on religion. I am not fully understood some stories are about religion. Some sentences are even directly copied from the Bible. All in all, I do really like to read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The mother of all self-help books!!
Review: If you only buy one book about success this should be it! Zig Ziglar is a man of faith and positive vision. His philosophy is summarized in the idea that we are born to help others. Furthermore, by helping others we will be able to achieve our own goals. Zig writes in an anecdotal style that is delightful and easy to read. His writing will challenge you, make you laugh and shine the light of introspection upon your priorities. What is it you want to accomplish? Zig will show you the steps of procession that will guide you to the top and to your ultimate life goal. I could not more highly recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Twenty years ago...
Review: More than twenty years ago, this book, along with a great friend from the Church played a pivotal role in helping me to turn my life around. The book amazingly does help lift a person from the depths of despair and doubt. It's principles are easy to put into practice. I found Zig Zigglar's style to be entertaining, great fun--he makes it easy to stay motivated and focus on the most important principles in life that seem so easily lost. SEE YOU AT THE TOP made me laugh for the first time in such a long time. Now, I am refreshing my attitude with OVER THE TOP. I got the two-tape version. That was outstanding so I got the book and I'm not disappointed. I always wanted to thank Zig somehow, and I should have found a way to do that.
