The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz
4.0
The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz is a classic self-help book. It encourages and guides you, and it builds your ego up. It is a book for anyone, though the author speaks largely from a business perspective. But added to his viewpoint Schwartz has borrowed stories and anecdotes from other people; this broadens the appeal considerably.
First published in 1959, the language used testifies to that. However, the takeaways from the book are timeless, and a few outdated words and the astoundingly low prices of items/salaries don't change that.
It is written simply and well and is organized logically, so reading is no challenge. The stories help cement many of the ideas in your head even if you remember them out of context.
I enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook and may buy a physical copy since it bears another perusal. It is no novel, but the author is convincing and humble to the point where you want to adopt some of his suggestions into your life.
If I buy a copy, it will join Laura Vanderkams' '168 hours' and Cal Newport's 'Deep Work' as books that I've purchased after first listening to them as audiobooks. Coincidentally it is in the same self-improvement genre. Can you tell something about me from that?
Who would benefit from a look or a listen? Someone who wants to feel good about themself, and/or someone who is on the hunt for self-improvement. It probably shouldn't be touched by anti-authoritarians or rebels because it is mainstream and old-fashioned to the point where it will set them on edge.
