I have read many of Zig Ziglar's books even though I am not much of a non-fiction fan. Mr Ziglar has a way of writing that lends a fiction feel to a non-fiction topic, its truly amazing. This book makes you think and feel your way through life's problems, and helps your reaction to each problem you face turn more and more towards a solution as opposed to just crying about it all. I do give it four stars because Mr. Ziglar is very religious and this book has a STRONG Christian undercurrent that, as being not Christian, completely turned me off for most of the actual message...but I did read it and I got the point, however heavily saturated, I just substituted my own religious Diety in for his and then it was great
Are you looking for something inspirational to read? Embrace the Struggle is just what you need. Zig Ziglar is best known for his motivational speeches. he openly shares his faith. This is a compilation of success stories of people who have overcome major obstacles. Zig's own tragic accident that left him with a permanent brain injury inspired this book. For those who may have wondered about how positive he was in real life wiil find he not only talks the talk but walks the walk. You don't have to be in sales to enjoy this book. You just need a desire to want to change things in your life. I have had the privilege of listening to him speak a couple of times when I was in my early twenties. His positive message still rings true today.
