Book Reviews of Zig: The Autobiography of Zig Ziglar
Book Review: Great overview of Zig's life
Summary: 5 Stars
Zig Ziglar's SEE YOU AT THE TOP was the first book
on personal leadership that I ever read . . . I still have my copy
and refer to it from time to time.
Since then, I've read just about everything else the man
has written and/or presented (via cassette and CD programs) . . . he
has long been one of the individuals I've admired most and it has
been one of the thrills of my life to have heard him a few times
in person.
So when I came across ZIG: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF
ZIG ZIGLAR, I jumped at the opportunity to hear it . . . it tells
of his humble beginnings and quite candidly, tells of his
failures too . . . he doesn't hold back and when he shares
the story of his daughter's death, you'll be moved to tears
as I was I was when I heard his rendition that obviously
had him also teary-eyed.
I loved how he talked lovingly of his wife, "the redhead," who
like him, "isn't perfect" . . . and that's a good thing because
as Ziglar recounts, if she were, "she never would have chosen me."
I also got a kick out of how he realized that he had to move into
a home in Dallas that he really couldn't afford at the time . . . however,
to rationalize it, he broke the transaction into a cost per
day figure (something he has shown me how to use in many
of his other works) and as he notes, "Would you give $1.70 a day
to get a happier wife?"
Lastly, it was fun sharing the joys in his life, such as when he
visited with the Pope . . . or when he was honored for the
help he has given countless others . . . I only regret that I
have never had the opportunity to also express my appreciation.
Summary of Zig: The Autobiography of Zig Ziglar
"Zig Ziglar epitomizes determination, perseverance, excellence, and a loving Christian spirit more than anyone I know! The world would be a better place if more of us were just like him."--Kenneth H. Cooper, M.D., The Cooper Clinic, Dallas, Texas
Zig Ziglar, the motivational speaker who has galvanized audiences around the world and written more than a dozen perennially popular books, brings that same unbounded energy and clarity of vision to this candid, inspiring account of his own life and the forces that shaped it.
Every year, Zig Ziglar travels all over the world delivering a resounding message of hope and commitment in forums ranging from high-powered business conferences and church leadership assemblies to youth conventions and educational gatherings. In Zig, Ziglar chronicles another kind of journey: his own transformation from a struggling, not terribly successful salesman to the sales champion of several different companies, and finally to his current position as one of the world's best-known and most highly regarded motivational speakers and trainers. As he describes his experiences, he brings to life the essence of his teachings: "You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."
At the heart of Ziglar's story are the people who taught him the importance of balancing a commitment to hard work with compassion for others. His first teacher was his mother, who raised him alone after the early death of his father, and introduced him to the principles and values he has honored for the rest of his life. Her lessons were reinforced by many others-from the men and women who became his business mentors to the friends and spiritual leaders who comforted and supported him when things got tough. Paying tribute to each of them, Ziglar zeroes in on the philosophy and traits that have enabled him to achieve success in business and in his personal life: discipline, hard work, common sense, integrity, commitment, and an infectious sense of humor.
Ziglar's speaking engagements and seminars along with a wide array of audio and video materials, books, and training manuals, have helped to trigger positive changes in small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, U.S. government agencies, nonprofit associations, religious organizations, schools, and prisons. At once engaging and enlightening, Zig provides a riveting portrait of the man who has achieved so much by embracing the simple but profound goal of helping others.
