Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz
2.0
This is a good book only if you read it to yourself in the voice of a 1950s tv announcer. First published in 1959, this book is chock full of sound advice for the young gentleman looking to get ahead, acquire the secrets of success, make more money for his family, think like a leader, etc. etc. Where are the women? Why, they're at home, of course, cooking and cleaning and raising those children.
Each chapter is an examination of a different successories-style motivational lecture: Believe You Can Succeed and You Will, Cure Yourself of Excusitis - the Failure Disease, You Are What You Think You Are, and many more. This is a fantastic sort of anthropology study of America in the mid-20th century, with a little Dale Carnegie and Charles Atlas tossed in for good measure.
