Zig Ziglar, an enormously popular motivational speaker, reveals his keys to achieving success in anything you do. (Hint: It's all about balance.)

Library Journal

Ziglar is one of the most prolific inspirational writers and speakers, with 11 books in several languages to his credit, writing self-help books, producing audiotapes, and conducting seminars before they were fashionable. His most popular titles are Zig Ziglar's Secrets of Closing the Sale (1984) and See You at the Top (1984). According to Ziglar, the key to success is the art of sustaining solid relationships with family and friends and at work. He has developed his theories over many years and shares them easily here. Ziglar believes that by creating goals and developing the right mental attitudes through positive visualization, success may be achieved in any environment. The easy format makes for fun reading, with many stories sprinkled throughout, though Ziglar's tone is sometimes preachy (as in the section on the war on drugs). Chapters may be read in order or separately. With the popular appeal of the "Dummies" series and Ziglar's name, this title will be in demand.Lisa S. Wise, Broome Cty. P.L., Binghamton, NY
