Some golden nuggets inside it, but in my opinion the book could have been cut in half length.
Some cool pictures and some cool ideas, but not sure if I would recommend it.
In some ways similar to "It's not how good you are, but how good you think you are" but doesn't match it, partly because it is too long I'd say.
Some of his concepts/ideas also gets a little too weird for me to relate too, others I loved.

Literalmente duré casi un mes leyendo este libro, lo dejé por etapas pero siempre entendí su significado, este es unos de los libros QUE TODO EL MUNDO DEBE LEER.
Me cambió todo, como veo el mundo, mis notas están llenas de frases y palabras que enserio llegaron a mi corazón, me dí cuenta de q sí realmente vivo o solo existo, y ahora no tengo ni fucking idea pero voy a empezar a vivir, a sentir a no limitarme, a seguir mis pasiones, a ser muchas cosas en mi vida y sobre todo a dar gracias.
háganse un favor y LEANLO

"The Little Book of Thinking Big" aims to empower readers with the tools needed to think more creatively and ambitively in both personal and professional life. The book is structured around various key points.
Firstly, Newton discusses the importance of attitude and mindset. He argues that we're often held back by our own limiting beliefs and assumptions. By challenging these and adopting a mindset that embraces possibilities rather than constraints, we can significantly broaden our horizons.
The second part is about setting goals. Newton highlights the importance of having clear, well-defined goals, which give us a sense of direction and a framework for decision-making. He provides practical strategies on how to set and pursue goals effectively.
In the third section, Newton tackles the subject of decision-making. He presents various techniques to improve decision-making skills and avoid common pitfalls, such as confirmation bias and overconfidence.
Next, he moves onto communication. He argues that good communication skills are essential to bring ideas to life, persuade others, and build strong relationships. Newton provides advice on how to communicate more effectively, including the importance of listening and being able to convey ideas clearly and persuasively.
Lastly, the book delves into the concept of creativity. Newton believes that everyone has creative potential and that unlocking this is key to thinking big. He provides a range of techniques to stimulate creativity, such as brainstorming and lateral thinking.
Throughout the book, Newton supports his points with anecdotes and case studies, making the content relatable and engaging. He also provides exercises and activities to help readers put what they've learned into practice.
Overall, "The Little Book of Thinking Big" is a comprehensive guide to expanding your thinking and achieving more in life. It provides actionable advice and strategies that can be readily applied in various areas of life.

I consider is book a motivation book, to boost your thinking to be able to achieve big things. Creative & gave me some tips on thinking differently. However, felt tike some information felt similar & repeated.

A book for a rainy Sunday. There’s nothing that’s really going to challenge your thinking or set the world on fire. It’s a feel good motivation piece that is well written with some great quotes. If you’ve got a spare couple of hours and need a little boost, give it a go.

An inspiring read that was broken into manageable parts for easy processing. There was some gold within the pages that definitely made me think.

كتاب يحمل في طياته طبيعة التفكير و حالاته و كيفية التعامل معه.. اعجبني و حفزني.. بالرغم من ان الترجمة الى اللغه العربية قتلت بعض افكار الكتاب.. لعدم دقتها..

A very helpful and easy-to-read book, with a quirky sense of humour and a positive set of tips to make your ideas bigger and more effective.

It’s a quick read. There are few interesting ideas. Perfect for reminding and checking on yourself especially for people who already have ideas to execute.

A nice little book with some solid advice unfortunately written up with an irritating format; it didn't work for me but it might work for you. There are some fantastic quotes and awesome pieces of encouragement with guidance on nine new habits that help you to "think big."

It is a refreshing, fun and innovative, this is a little book filled with big ideas which we all need to get thinking about. If you are still struggling through your doubts, it is going to be a perfect reference book for a start.

Just finished reading this 'little' book and found it quite interesting and clever. Reinforced my desire to follow my passion and to revisit some of the dreams I had as a child. Loved some of the stories. Would recommend it if you want inspiration without unnecessary jargon and heavy reading.

This book guides you towards “joosting”; jumping out of the system. The ideas are not much new but the associated examples and metaphors make it a better, more creative and fun read that allow the ideas to echo longer in your mind.

Livre tèrs intéressant pour se booster lorsque nos prjets semblent ne plus avancer. La présentation est atypique et c'est aussi ce qui fait le charme de ce livre aux messages profonds et motivants.

If you're an idealist who's struggling to navigate through your own doubts & ideals relative to 'real life', this book is perfect for you.
