The book goes into detail how to think big and build confidence. It is all about starting to think big. Action will follow. Most people especially adults will have challenges about thinking bigger since they may have been knocked down (or even knocked out) in life. Kids may have not faced as much challenges yet. Thus, they have no problem thinking bigger. When they get older and if they are not exposed to thinking bigger, they will start to think smaller and smaller until it is difficult to think beyond survival. It will become difficult to think bigger. This is when we need to saturate yourself with books like “The Magic of Thinking Big”.

Before we can achieve great things, we have to think big. Before we can become a person doing great things, we have to think bigger than usual. Before we can impact others in a significant way, we have to think big. Thinking changes our attitude and thoughts which impacts our actions which impacts what we achieve in life. It is a chain reaction that starts off with what we think.
