What's it about? Changing your thinking patterns to get the things you want such as a higher income, financial security, or greater enjoyment in living.br /br /What's the main idea? Success is determined not so much by the size of your brain as it is by the size of your thinking.br /br /How does it accomplish this? In every chapter of the book, the reader will find many practical ideas, techniques, and principles that willl enable them to harness the power of thinking big. Every technique is illustrated by a case history. In this way, the reader will not only figure out what to do, but see exactly how to apply each principle to actual problems and situations.br /br /Give me an example. In the chapter titled "How to Think Big", an example is used of a successful realtor to illustrate the principle "see what can be, not just what is." In this example, the realtor has a knack for selling rundown, unattractive property- not by selling it for what it is, but for what it COULD be.br /br /Is the writing style boring or technical? Absolutely not. The writing style reminds me of Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends Influence People. Also, the many examples make it an interesting read which holds your attention.br /br /Who should get it? Everyone who wants to do better in life! So if you want to live "big" it all starts with thinking that way. Readers who like this book may also be interested in Finding Happiness in a Frustrating World. And remember, think BIG!

Sells you on your own BIGness... October 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

It is commonly said in the world of persuasion that br /"Facts tell, stories sell". Many personal developmentbr /books follow this axiom. The authors of thesebr /books appear to be following a familiar modelbr /in order to sell us, the readers, on their ideas.br /br /What do third-party stories do? what is their br /purpose? Is it that we derive a sense of socialbr /proof or veracity from a story told about somebodybr /else by a narrator who may or may not be reliable?br /br /"The Magic of Thinking Big" follows a model similar to br /"How To Win Friends and Influence People" - br /brief illustrative stories which are held up asbr /proof for the author's theories about what makesbr /people successful with other people.br /br /At the end of each chapter of this book there is br /a brief recap of the lessons in the chapter. Thisbr /is a useful feature because you can read the br /lessons the stories illustrate quickly this way.br /br /It's quite a good book. It was written in 1959 andbr /the formula wasn't new then and it's certainlybr /been immitated hundreds of times since - and br /writing a book of straightforward ideas about successbr /padded out with anecdotal stories seems to be a provenbr /model for establishing oneself as a personal developmentbr /guru or motivational speaker. br /br /I haven't written a book about the topic yet butbr /if I do I'll be sure to immitate the formulabr /of this one - apparently it's a good way to sellbr /a lot of books or at least be perceived asbr /an authority.br /br /Worth reading but more or less interchangiblebr /with countless other titles. It's a classic becausebr /a lot of people have read it. The strategiesbr /aren't particularly out-of-date or hard to getbr /your mind around. br /br /A useful book worth reading if you haven't readbr /many of these types of books or if you want tobr /read all the classic ones.

One Statement MADE My Life September 21, 2008

I'll keep it simple. I took the advice 'Be a Front Seater' from this book, and went from being a sit-at-the-back, never-volunteer guy to becoming a person consulted by government on legislation affecting private investigators; writing two books; getting the job I always wanted; and many other things.br /br /If that one piece of advice can have such impact, imagine the effect of the rest! BUY IT - and live a new life by taking action on the content.
