About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Influence is the ability to change other people beliefs, thoughts and actions

Opportunity is missed by most people because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like Work.

There’s no scarcity of making a living from doing what you love, there’s only scarcity in resolve to make it happen!

You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.

You are never given a dream with out the abilities to achieve it

And the other side of fear is truth

Fame is like the spot on the tip of your nose everyone sees it but you

The unexamined life is not worth living ~Socrates

You have to have a dream for it to come true. Without a dream all you have is reality

The belief in your dream is the only foundation you have

Overall, the performance and story were not too bad. I just think that the content could use some updating. Religion was mentioned quite a bit in this program. But every mention of religion was centered exclusively on Christianity. There’s nothing wrong with faith in God, but you don’t have to be a Christian to be successful (sincerely, A Christian Woman). A few of the performers also described leaders and successful people as having a good diet and being physically fit. C’mon people...this is the 21st century. People can be successful even if they are (gasp) heavier. The setup of different speakers was a bit weird and could be confusing when they would feature the audio from an in-person conference. Especially when the first speaker repeatedly mentions a workbook that, surprisingly, is NOT the included PDF (that comes with the Audible version). Overall, I can understand how this volume can certainly be helpful and motivational, but there are definitely some things that need fixed.

This is a collection of audio files to inspire people to achieve and do more.
This is NOT a book. There is no start nor end, just a bunch of people - mostly registered during talks - talking to an audience to inspire and provide suggestions on how to achieve more in less.
Said that the inspirational words used are good, some great suggestions in the audio, but nothing outstanding or special.
Full of ads as well, not recommended at all, and one of the worst audiobook I've ever listened to.

Mostly a collection of motivational speeches with scattered reasonable advice. Marcia Wieder gets a series at the beginning, so she should probably be advertised as the featured author if anyone (not Zig). Sometimes, the enthusiastic shouting of the speakers seems more appropriate to an in-person lecture than an audiobook. All-in-all, the book serves the purpose of bathing in motivational you-can-do-it energy in the morning when doing the morning exercises and rituals. I would nonetheless recommend against reading this audiobook.

"Thinking Big: Achieving Greatness One Thought at a Time" brings together powerhouse speakers like Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, and Dr. Larry Iverson, but the presentation feels all over the place. Instead of a cohesive narrative, it’s more like a mashup of motivational soundbites thrown together without much flow. Sure, there’s wisdom and inspiration to be found, but the lack of structure makes it hard to stay engaged. If you’re a fan of these speakers and don’t mind the scattered approach, it’s worth a listen—but don’t expect it to feel polished or well-organized.

An interesting listen. I mostly listened to it while driving, so I didn't do the exercises, but they sounded very well thought out and useful.

It was included in the Audible membership.

I liked what positive thoughts it put in my head, so I consider this time well-spent!

Very inspiring stuff. Loved that there were lots of different styles of presentation and things said.

[Nick Slattery · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Several brilliant minds share their thoughts on motivation, thinking bigger, and overall success. This is worth a second and third listen. Take lots of notes.

Great motivational book. I would love to read it multiple times.

[Toya Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great information! Some parts kept my attention well and others, not so much. I don't regret the time spent listening, and I know some of the nuggets will stick with me as I grow.

[Abhishek Tripathi · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's all great advice. But I must admit I slept through some of it.

[Poornima Jha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very positive and energising book. Needless to say, Zig Ziglar's passion is infectious.
