This is often referred to many as 'the one that started it all'. Well, at least of the more modern era, perhaps...
I grew up on Ziglar, and I like to dip back into his work from time to time. It's been years since I read SYATT, and it seemed a good starting book for my new goal of reading at least 30 min of personal development books each day.
The book is structured like a staircase, with the idea that if you build on the foundations of each step before moving to the next one, then you will eventually make it to the Top and find success. The early steps are about self-image and attitude and goal setting. Thi...more

I've been disappointed in the past by books labeled as "Business Classics" ("Think and Grow Rich" comes to mind), but "See You At The Top" definitely deserves this moniker. Ziglar provides a realistic and sustainable framework on how to achieve success. His model of focusing on self-image, relationships, goals, attitude, work and desire (and how to improve each) allow you to focus on what is most important. His chapters on goal-setting are some of the best I've read on the topic. My only complai...more
Although there are some basic sound principles in this book, that could help you become a better person, like for example how to like your basic self, how to be nice to others and see them in a positive light, how to take a more optimistic view of life, how to achieve success based on hard work and so on, it is also filled with a lot of religious "good-old-fashioned-american" dogma type of messages.

Uplifting PMA-type book from one of the masters of positive mental attitude pick-me-ups. Worth reading if you are into sales, or just want to see what all the hype is about. Many years ago, I had the opportunity to listen to Ziglar in person when I spent a short-lived half-summer selling books door to door. It was interesting watching a hundred or more newly hired salespeople grow in excitement as they were pumped up by Ziglar's session. Myself, I couldn't get into it, and found myself getting m...more
This book will never be out dated. The ideas, philosophies, and metaphors will stay with you for life and can be applied anywhere. Zig is real, down to earth, and offers no excuses and doesn't allow you to offer them to achieve the successes that life has to offer. The book builds, helping the reader to better different areas of their life one at a time, ultimately building to the whole person. This book is never done, because you can always pick it right back up at anytime and start again. For...more

واحد من الكتب الكلاسيكيه القيمة لواحد من أشهر المحفزين عالميا زيج زيجلر فى خطوات بسيطه يطرح زيج خريطة الوصول للقمة بداية من تحسين صورة الذات ثم العلاقات مع الآخرين ويليه الأهداف تحديدها وتحقيقها ثم الموقف الذهني السليم والعمل والرغبة المحترقة ..... كما ا،ه يسرد الكثير من القص الواقعي من الحياة ..كتاب يستحق القراءة
Zig's principles he teaches are timeless and his audio book is better than the read. A Bit wordy and if you never saw Zig live or on video this book would come across as dated and a bit over words. But Zig was one of the greatest trainers on Sales in recent History and his Wisdom will live on forever.
كتاب رائع لـ زيج زيجلار ، اسمه ف الترجمة العربي " أراك علي القمة " ، فيه معلومات كتيرة جدا ، وقصص رائعة تحسسك انك ممكن توصل للقمة ... كتاب عظيم
و الكاتب مستعين بأقوال بتاعة ناس عظماء ، وقصص عظماء ،، ناس كانوا عاديين جدااا لكن وصلوا للعظمة لأن حد تاني آمن بيهم ، أو هما آمنوا بنفسهم
كتاب عظيم للقراءة :)

Zig Ziglar is one of my favorite motivational speakers. I saw him in person at a 2000 seminar. His See You at the Top book is written at the 5th grade level but the way he gets across his ideas with stories from his personal experiences are engaging, humorous and inspirational, in my opinion.
Fantastic book on sales. Gives lots of references for other books after each chapter. Helped launch my real estate career. His famous saying is "You can get everything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want"
I read the Arabic edition of this book. The book can simply be summarized in the following phrase:
"It's your ATTITUDE not your APTITUDE that ultimately determines your ALTITUDE in life"
"It's your ATTITUDE not your APTITUDE that ultimately determines your ALTITUDE in life"
This book is a classic self improvement and how to develop your sales ability manual! I read this in 1980 just before becoming a Stock Broker! I must read for anyone entering a sales profession!
This book is almost "literature", compared to "scientific" style I like. But it has built something new in me, so time for reading this giant was well spent.
Full of real life (short) stories.

LOVE Zig. He is must reading for sales professionals. Inspires to have pride in and respect for having a career in sales. Somewhat basic but great foundational reading.
Full of inspiration and information about how to live your best life - sorry Oprah, Zig wins. Zig has positively influenced so many of my favorite authors, now I know why.
Liked the overall ideas in the book. Found a lot of it to be offensive. Zig didn't tolerate much. Didn't respect women. Thought you became homosexual because you didn't have enough God. Found it wasn't acceptable to drink in any form or enjoy the pleasures of life. Pretty messed up. Had a hard time with him.
I enjoyed Zig's book very much even when I wish it had been updated to current events and stories. Most of the stories and principles are timeless, but I kept longing for some current stories and especially the last chapter.
The basics are all there in that one does not get to success on the elevator but rather steps, which he clearly describes.
A worthy read!

I have the old hardbound version. I love it everytime I read it, especially the chapter on how to deal with communists. It takes me back to my childhood.
A fun book Great humour, good but basic insights. It would be great to be able to live like this without driving everyone around me nuts, LOL!
Es uno de los mejores libros que he leido en mi vida. La forma como tienes que leerlo cambia tu perspectiva de muchas cosas.
simply master-class by one of my all time fav authors and speakers zig!

Much of this material is familiar to me. Nevertheless, I think that Zig is a great teacher to return and explore his ideas. Some materials feel out of date, although the edition I am reading has been brought up to date for the era of connected communication. I have read See You at the Top before, and believe this is a great time to deepen my understanding of his message. Success is often found in the fundamentals, and clearly ZZ is a master of success and sales. I have much to learn from his met...more
Great book read 1981.... Still remember how good it was & have to buy a new copy to read again...!!!

The Tom Peters Seminar. Tom has created so much of value, and I have trouble picking. But it's either this or the Wow book.
See You at the Top. Zig Ziglar's opus, still the most focused and personal motivational book ever.
The Places That Scare You. Please don't tell me that Pema Chodron's work doesn't qualify as a business book. For me, what I do all day is my life, and what I do all day is business. I...more

you can have everything you want in life, if you just help enough other people get what they want
The best book ever read. Need to re-read and re-read and re-read!! Kudos to Ziglar for this book.
Liked the ideas, but didn't appreciate the occasional Christian and anti-Communist tirade.
