Secure A Copy The Magic Of Thinking Big Written And Illustrated By David J. Schwartz Ready In Digital Version
the one hand, this book had some good advice about things like thinking positive, treating people well and setting a good example.
On the other hand, the author's misogynistic views on women is prevalent throughout the book and is really a sign of when this book was written thes.
Women cannot be successful business people they are allowed to work menial jobs or be wives, but nothing more.
I'd like to think that since they are still publishing this book that they would update it every now and then to make it more relevant to the times, but if they have, they haven't changed the way women are discussed at all.
Also, I really didn't expect the book to have a surprise twist at the end.
In the last chapter of the book, the author is making the point that it is important for people to spend time alone for critical thinking.
It's not bad advice but he uses Hitler surprise! Hitler gets brought up! as an example of someone who used his time alone to come up with a "brilliantly wicked" plan.
Then on the next page, the author says that people "discover that decisions and observations made alone in managed solitude have an uncanny way of beingright!" Wait, did he just imply Hitler was right Who wants to be more succesful in their lives
Who feels like they can do better but don't know how to do it
C'mon, people.
. . just read it
It's a must read book, and trust me when I say it's going to help you.
. .
It helped
me a lot ,/
Initially, I thought this was a load of bullshit, And even now I think it's mostly bullshit,
The keyword here is mostly, It didn't start very well but I was listening to the audio version and it is quite short I decided to go with it.
And indeed there are some useful insights but what I found the most useful were a few common sense rules that we tend to forget.
I needed the reminder myself and that's the reason why I gave itinstead of,
This is the type of book that gave 'selfhelp' books a bad name, I mean being positive, confident and ambitious certainly is beneficial for success and overall happiness, But the reason is a lot more practical and logical, And simply wanting something really really bad won't cut it unless you persistently work towards achieving it.
And I don't see how believing in a cosmic energy that helps you and pushes you towards success will help you with that.
Especially considering success almost always follows a long array of failures,
And the examples were comical, Especially the acted ones in the audio version, It's like they purposely made them so ridiculous, Far fetched, scripted and unconvincing, And I also felt a certain 'enjoy being capitalistic slave' vibe, I should enjoy the rat race as an office clerk, . . Uhm yeah, no thanks!
After all that criticism, I was still able to find something useful from this book.
However, I believe it takes some familiarity with the genre to be able to separate the useful bits from the piles of bullshit.
Hence I wouldn't recommend it for beginners who are just entering the 'selfhelp/psychology' genre, I would say that one has to read a few scientifically sound psychology books before digging into this one.
انسان خردمند فرمانروای ذهن خویش است و انسان بی خرد بنده آن!
به عقیده من خوندن یک کتاب انگیزشی بصورت روزانه جزو واجباته! مطالعه کتاب های این چنینی به شما کمک میکنه تا رویا داشته باشید و اونا رو فراموش نکنید. ভষণ ভল ভল কথ লখ পডর সময মন হব আগমকল থক নজক ও নজসব চনতধরক আমল বদল ফলব কনত পডর ঘনটখনক পর ক পডছ ত সমরণ করত কষট হয এট বইযর সমসয নক আমর ত নশচত হত পরন একধকবর পডও ফল হযন তব এট ঠক ইতবচক চনত করত বইট সহযত করব নদনপকষ ইতবচক চনত কন জবন চলর পথ গরতবপরণ ত বঝয দব আমল করত পর ন পর পঠকর বযপর The Magic of Thinking Big gives you useful methods, not empty promises, Dr. Schwartz presents a carefully designed program for getting the most out of your job, your marriage and family life, and your community.
He proves that you don't need to be an intellectual or have innate talent to attain great success and satisfaction, but you do need to learn and understand the habit of thinking and behaving in ways that will get you there.
This is very good as historical sociology more than as selfhelp, I think this stuff was relevant especially for the generation that came of age in the Great Depression and World War II in America.
Those people had been through hell, but then emerged into a booming economy with a ballooning middleclass.
They needed a kick in the pants to stop thinking negatively, And the white guy who wanted to succeed big could rise above the masses by being a gogetter.
The "American Dream" of upward mobility was real then for millions of people, This continued for the Baby Boomers who were born into that, but I think the system was falling apart by Gen X.
As the daily news verifies, and as the author of "Detroit" says, we now live in a culture of corruption and incompetence.
As such, the basic assumptions of "Thinking Big" do a good job and you will be rewarded.
. . cease to be a reliable norm, For people who want to rise above "average" without being corrupt, I think something like "Mastery" might be more useful nowadays.

The aspects that are about breaking unrealistic negative thought loops are basically CBT and are timeless.
So for people who would not read a "psych" book but want a mental boost, I could see how Dr.
Schwartz could be very helpful, A distinction that makes Schwartz better than a lot of current psychobabble is that he is not telling everyone "You can do anything!" Everybody can't do anything, but what many people can do is improve their lot with action steps that are under their control and that will improve their lives incrementally if they follow through on them.
sitelink sitelink Hierzie: een full blown managementboek, Oude stijl dan nog. Geschreven in: The Magic of Thinking Big, Voor iedereen die haar/zijn leven wil aanpakken, en niet bij de pakken wil blijven zitten,
David Schwartz geeft tips om succesvol te zijn ik weet het, meer cliché wordt het niet.
Maar inspirerend van de eerste bladzijde tot de laatste, Elke vier bladzijden moest ik stoppen om na te denken, dingen op te schrijven en vervolgens mijn leven te herorganiseren.
Dit boek straalt enthousiasme uit, ondernemingslust en verantwoordelijkheidszin,
De centrale boodschap van het boek: denk na en beslis wat je wil zijn, en gedraag je op die manier in alle geledingen van je leven.
Met andere woorden: stel je een doel, het is de enige mogelijkheid om iets te bereiken:
"Nothing happens, no forward steps are taken, until a goal is established.
Without goals individuals just wander through life, They stumble along, never knowing where they are going, so they never get anywhere,
Goals are as essential to success as air is to life, No one ever stumbles into success without a goal, No one ever lives without air, Get a clear fix on where you want to go, " p.
Volledig leesverslag: sitelink wordpress. com/ An inspiring book that will teach you to think beyond the mundane, every day, status quo.
The enemy we call "average" threatens to take away the hopes, dreams, and meaning in our lives.
Strive for excellence in everything you do, If you want something you've never had, you'll have to do something you've never done, I know several people who feel that this book has changed their lives, I'm not certain I can make that claim for myself, but this was the first time I'd heard of the three failure diseases: Procrastonation, Excuseitis and detailitis.
I think at some time or another, I was guilty of all three, Now I tend to catch mysef in the midst of them and think "aha! Stop that, "
