Our view
“The Magic of Thinking Big” urges readers, in practical and encouraging terms, to believe in themselves and drop their excuses. David Joseph Schwartz, a management consultant, goes after the mental barriers people set for themselves, with exercises to try. Some readers find it disorganised and thin on explanation, and others feel its 1950s references and its focus on corporate success have dated. It works as a push to get started.
