I like this book and got a lot out of it. My favorite part is about turning defeat into victory -- very useful. I agree with others that different people have different favorite motivational books. Napoleon Hill's Positive Mental Attitude is OK by me, but Norman Vincent Peale in his Power of Positive Thinking is a bit too religious for me. I do like the psychology book the Positive Power of Negative Thinking by Dr. Norem. Whichever turns out to be your personal favorite, I'm confident that you will find the Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz to be a very useful addition to your list. His book is a real classic, and it deserves to be.
