The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz

One of the best book that I've read was "The Magic of Thinking Big" by Dr David Schwartz. It is full of common sense, simple logic, and a wealth of advise on why and how you should change your thinking - to think big always, and bigger whenever you can.

The book was recommended to me by some international speakers I listen to - Jim Dornan, Sean Henderson, Mitch Salla, and many more. These people are well known for thinking bigger than life, and yet they still read "The Magic of Thinking Big" over and over,year after year.

But here's my personal experience:

I gave the book to my brother some 3 years back. FYI, he is not at all like me - full of anger, he had spent most of his twenties in his dark room back in my parents' home in Ipoh, unemployed, not even doing odd jobs.

My mom asked me if I could tune him up a bit.

Instead of me giving him my piece of mind, I gave my brother "The Magic of Thinking Big".

After reading the book, he began to write his own.

Long story short, my brother wrote a novel that sold 30,000 copies within three months ("Fantasia Romantika" by Rio Hermawan, published by Alaf21). I asked him what made him a novelist.

He replied, "Maybe it's the book you gave me. Or maybe it's you. Or maybe both. Or maybe neither."

And this year he published another novel, "Kau Ilhamku", published by Buku Prima, under his own name Ahmad Fuad.

If you are going to read only one book this year, let it be "The Magic of Thinking Big".
