I recently re-read SEE YOU AT THE TOP by ZIG ZIGLAR. It was/is his classic from the mid-70’s. It is refreshing in the lack of references to the net, computers and social media. There is much talk of relationships but the focus is on real and face to face connections and contact.

There are several key parts of the book and I will a brief summary of them but the central focus of the book an of Zig’s life as a teacher and trainer, as a DIFFERENCE MAKER in the lives of people, is his famous quote- “YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN LIFE IF YOU HELP ENOUGH OTHER PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY WANT”

That is an amazingly simple, common sense goal but so difficult for many people to commit to.

That is the central for Zig but in the book he broke it down in the following ways and under the listed ideas:

A. Value of a Healthy Self Image and how to do that

B. Improving relationships with others

C. Goals – Creating ,Writing, and Completing them

D. Attitude- what is a right attitude..and where is it?

E. Work- Value of work

F. Desire

Now this is a basic and simplistic summary, the book is a fast read and loaded with information on all of these topics. The most valuable addition to this book is a list of great books for each of the 6 subjects above.
