Awesome Ziglar!

A real masterclass of a book! My first full length Ziglar book and I for sure was not disappointed. Although it's 17 hours, Zig captivating mastery of storytelling with a point made it all the more digestible and applicable. Bravo!!

Still a classic

Some of the stories sound so dated now but the message is still valid if you overlook the 1980s car sales person closes.
The book still has value in the digital world and zig is really engaging to listen too. I love his voice!
The sons overview detracts rather than adds to the tale.

Too much detracting from the great content

Really great content, but the negatives began to make it too hard to enjoy the content. At first, his voice and delivery is clearly overcooked (even for back in the day), but still listenable. Over time though, it gets really grating. The content is 10/10 though, except for the unexpected sales pitches for seminars. It all got a bit much in the end.

What a disappointment

I am a fan of Zig but this book
Was the worst thing that was ever published by his corporation.
It was clearly produced after he passed away and was a blatant attempt to cash in. They are a company and must make a profit but the way this audio book was put together is nothing less than woeful.
It repeats itself on so many occasions. The bits where his son narrates does not add anything to it. In fact the opposite as he does not have the charm and charisma of the frat man.
Very disappointed.
I do not want to put you off Zig’s work but choose another title.

Most annoying voice on the planet

Heard good thing about this book but couldn’t even listen to this. The guys voice is far too annoying. It’s difficult to follow him.

Re-do in a decent voice and I’ll buy it.

Unbearable

The narrator’s voice is so stereotypical of the standard sales guy every reasonably clever person is trying to avoid, I had to stop the audiobook there and then. Old fashioned, doesn’t stand the test of time, in one word: unbearable.
