He has written dozens of mood-lifting books, some of them bona fide classics, such as this one. An Alabama son of the Great Depression and one of 12 children, Ziglar is effective because of his common sense and old-fashioned country wisdom, as well as his ability to reach others with easy-to-understand anecdotes, stories and parables.

Ziglar reminds getAbstract of a kindly, old-fashioned uncle, a wise family treasure known for his wit and sound advice. Feel like you’re stuck in neutral lately? Not sure how to get ahead?
