A Book I Love: The Magic of Thinking Big

One arm with a good attitude beats two arms with a bad attitude. Every time.

Because the key to slaying giants is big thinking. If you haven’t read the David Schwartz classic, The Magic of Thinking Big, go pick it up immediately.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur or an employee, you will enjoy the time-tested lessons, practical advice and laugh-out-loud humor in this book.

The gist of it is that there’s a huge difference between big thinkers and small thinkers.

The difference is attitude.

According to Schwartz, big thinkers:

• don’t look for an illness where it doesn’t exist

• don’t depend on luck; rather seek out the causal activities that generate the outcome they seek

• do deposit positive memories in their thought bank

• do overcome fear through action

• do sell themselves to themselves first, before selling themselves to anyone else

Favorite Quote

• “Over time, subordinates tend to become a carbon copy of their chief. Be sure the master copy is worth duplicating.”

If you do end up reading The Magic of Thinking Big, I’d love to hear what you think about the book.
