Customer Reviews

Best of the Best

If you're new to Zig Ziglar books and tapes, than this is one I highly recommend for starters. It summarizes all of Zig's 70 plus years of experience and is layed down in a format that is simple and easy to understand. It also includes most of the material that is covered in other of Zig's bestselling books, such as Over the Top, How to be a Winner and so on. It's a book truly worth owning!.

Required reading

There are a few books I think should be required reading for school children. This book is one of them. Not only should this book be required reading in schools, but in corporations as well. I would hope that reading would lead to study, and then application of the principals Zig presents. As Zig states early in the book, you don't have to apply what he is going to share. But it is of immense value to at least consider what he shares. Please take the time to read this book at least once. It will be worth many times what you spend.

A complete book on success.

Zig covers all the bases in this book. Full of good stories and solid principles, Success For Dummies is worth reading and re-reading. It is laid out like all the Dummies books, so you can read small portions at a time, or browse through it and read what you want for now. It's fun to read and teaches a lot. I thought it was a surprisingly big book for only 17 dollars! I'm the author of the book, Self-Help Stuff That Works, and I can tell you, as an expert in the field, Zig teaches what works!

This book is not only helpful, but entertaining.

I did not purchase this book necessarily because I was searching for success, but because I knew it would be an interesting read. I truly enjoyed reading Success For Dummies because it was entertaining and helpful at the same time. Some self-help books are packed with too much information, too many strategies or just not arranged in a readable fashion. I knew I could rely on the For Dummies publishers to present the information in a way that would keep me reading. Zig Ziglar brings the reader in and through anecdotal evidence from his own life, convinces the reader he too, can succeed. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is on the road to success and needs a little encouragement and entertainment along the way.
