"You may have heard the information gathered in this book many times in other publications or lectures, but most of these probably got that info from "The Magic of Thinking Big." This book is a great summary of self-help ideas for success and productivity, that can be listened to again and again. It's pretty much all no-nonsense information highlighted by good examples of how to apply the ideas and techniques. Though narration is good, some of these examples are by people who often sound a bit bland and stiff."

    " I GOT THIS BOOK ON A RECOMMENDATION. IF YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. THIS IN THE SAME VEIN AS BOOKS LIKE THINK AND GROW RICH. I WOULD NOT SAY THERE ANYTHING NEW OR GROUND SHAKING ABOUT THIS BOOK. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN INFOMERCIAL COMPOSED OF EVERY SELF-HELP TROPE EVER. "

    " A very helpful collection of concrete, practical, yet isolated, tips. At first, I found it a bit strange as these tips come from different angles, but at a later stage I valued the way the collection is presented. All the tips drive you to adopt a global view about how to approach things and how to build your attitude in so as to think BIG. I will re-read it again and again. Very enjoyable. "

    " I liked the book, and there wasn't anything I strongly disagreed with, but there weren't any big revelations either. If you want to feel a bit better about yourself, and hearing positive things you already know but sometimes don't believe or forget, then get this book. Otherwise, just think big and know that you can do whatever it is you want to do. "
