The Magic of Thinking Big

David J. Schwartz · 1959

Belief sets ceilings; thinking bigger raises them.

Summary

Schwartz, a 1950s management researcher, argued that the size of your bank account, leadership, and happiness are all set by the size of your thinking. People underperform not because of capability but because of low belief about what's possible. The book is plain-spoken and built on dozens of practical case studies: how to think and dream creatively, how to stop making excuses, how to act bigger than you currently feel.
