Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz
4.0
Thinking big is hard. Most people won't create their own companies, chase their dreams, or live their desired life. And there's nothing wrong with theoutcomes. But, Schwartz argues, people will achieve more (happiness, personally, professionally, socially, etc.) if they push themselves to dream beyond the status quo. He was a Silicon Valley guru before Silicon Valley existed.
This book was the right place, the right time to read for me. I've pushed myself to think bigger in my relationships and personal life. But I've felt the need for a boost in my professional career. I've followed a well-trod track so far and have needed to think bigger for my career enjoyment.
Schwart's book is a call to action. He has excellent, if dated, examples of individuals following his recommendations to inspire big thinking. And his prose is readable and organized. I'm sure there's many other books like this out there. But Schwart's book helped me think bigger, and that's enough for me.
