What a wonderful opportunity to get to know such a great man on a whole new level. Zig has always been inspiring but this book brought a new dimension to his inspiration with his authentic, transparent, no holes barred presentation of his traumatic experience and the impact to both him and his family. Not only presenting his experience but those of so many others to bring a broad range presentation to life's struggles and the many varieties that they come in.

A little simplistic perhaps, but an encouraging read for those who are dealing with the difficulties that life can bring us, especially as we grow older. Speaking from a Christian perspective, Zig Ziglar uses lots of examples, including his own recent struggles with a brain injury as the result of a fall.

I listened to this as an audio book, and Ziglar's reading ended up distracting me, as it seemed disjointed. I got through 5 3/4 of the 6 CDs and couldn't listen any more. The stories are motivational, but I know many motivational stories. Nothing new here.

I have read many of Zig Ziglar's books even though I am not much of a non-fiction fan. Mr Ziglar has a way of writing that lends a fiction feel to a non-fiction topic, its truly amazing. This book makes you think and feel your way through life's problems, and helps your reaction to each problem you face turn more and more towards a solution as opposed to just crying about it all. I do give it four stars because Mr. Ziglar is very religious and this book has a STRONG Christian undercurrent that, More...

This tells the story of Zig's fall ... down the stairs. The consequential brain damage and how he more than coped with the difficulties. He Thrived.
