Thinking Big: Achieving Greatness One Thought at a Time by Zig Ziglar

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


“Thinking Big: Achieving Greatness One Thought at a Time” brings together powerhouse speakers like Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, and Dr. Larry Iverson, but the presentation feels all over the place. Instead of a cohesive narrative, it’s more like a mashup of motivational soundbites thrown together without much flow. Sure, there’s wisdom and inspiration to be found, but the lack of structure makes it hard to stay engaged. If you’re a fan of these speakers and don’t mind the scattered approach, it’s worth a listen—but don’t expect it to feel polished or well-organized.
